Editing /groups/create.php

I have copied create.php into my theme and am attempting to edit it. How do I set the default checked= to a private group status? No matter what I do public is always checked by default. This question extends to the other form fields as well. Also, where do I edit the action for create.php as I will need to add additional form fields? Thanks.

I don’t think overloading that file is the way to go for the default status change, you can set the default new group status using the bp_get_new_group_status filter, so you could do something like this:
```
add_filter( 'bp_get_new_group_status', 'venutius_new_group_status_change' );

function venutius_new_group_status_change( $status ) {
    return 'private';
}
```

Thanks so much! If you don’t suggest overloading create.php, what would be the best approach? Sorry, I’m new at this…

I’ve just suggest it, above. To make the default group status private as you asked, you can add that to your bp-custom.php and it should do the trick for you.
