BuddyPress.org

This will make it where only wp-admins can do it. make sure you’re doing this in your child theme, not the core bp-default files:

In the groups folder > index.php…right after the form tag replace the next few lines with:

<br />

<h3>

<?php _e( 'Groups Directory', 'buddypress' ) ?>

<?php if ( current_user_can('manage_options') ) : ?>

button goes here

<?php endif; ?>

</h3>

the dumb editor keeps jacking up the code. the button for creating the group shouldn’t change and should go where indicated above
