Thank you for your help although i have no clue if that is relevant as i have no idea how to apply that to my site or which menu it is actually referring to.
there must be a way to create a subnav that displays all groups as a non logged in user whilst keeping the user logged in or something along those lines.
when i go to that i can see the full directory but when i click on groups in the buddypress main user menu it only shows user joined groups. This makes it hard fro people to find new groups to join.
My aim as admin is to create the groups and have them appear in the groups directory under the profile menu for people to join if that makes sense, so for example…
…/members/test/groups/view-all/
as opposed to
mysite.com/groups.
I have searched for hours and hours with no joy, any help would be greatly appreciated.
