No plugin, just a setting ! You can create a hidden group for these users.
Hidden groups are invisible to non-members. These group names and descriptions are not listed in sitewide directories, and their contents are accessible only to members of the group. Because the group is unlisted, users cannot request membership. Instead, individuals can only join the group by invitation.
Group Settings and Roles
Ok thanks! Do you know if there is a way to add someone to a group automatically if their role is changed to the group it matches? For example, if someone is a subscriber now, and later they have their role changed to a custom role I have set up. Can I set up something to automatically add them to the hidden group upon role change?
Hi,
by changed to a custom role do you mean custom wp role or a buddypress member type ?
Site Role – I used the plugin User Role Editor to create new roles.
Hi !
You can easily do this from wp’s users admin.
Once one or x members where promoted as “editor” or whatever wp role you created, you can attribute them to a group.
The snippet you’ll find on the codex will add a new bulk action “add to bp group” to the existing bulk selector, above the user list.
Select the concerned member(s), click on Apply. In the box showing up, add the group id, save and you’re done !
You can see the result by going to dashboard > groups > select the group you’ve added members and edit the group. See the group user list at the bottm of the page and verify the new user(s) are there.
