Adding categories, tags or custom taxonomies to groups

Hi,

Is there any up-to-date method to attach a category or tag to group? (Admin or user-created?)

I’m just unpacking BuddyPress on my staging site, and I’m confused by the absence of this feature.

I’ve spent 6 months building a site with 000s of posts of carefully categorised content, and it seems I’m going to have to force users to search through multiple groups to find something relevant to them?

Any suggestions for (maintained) plugins I can try?

@linguabuddy you can use group type which is a taxonomy for groups.

@vapvarun thanks, I know that’s an option, but it feels like a workaround, and a step away from the site-wide taxonomies I’ve created.

I was hoping someone could explain how to use the core taxonomies with BuddyPress groups (or give me a clear explanation why it isn’t possible)?

I had assigned a group type to a group but it is not displaying on the front end. Neither is there a filter to search according to group types. Can you help? @vapvarun
