@pollyplummer r-a-y showed me how to do this for blogs, thought i’d flip it for the groups loop and it seems to work. this was from a couple versions back there may be something new as it was said there would be an easier exclude parameter for has_blogs but i haven’t seen it. anyway try

php while ( bp_groups() ) : bp_the_group(); if(bp_get_group_name() != “Name of your Group”) :

then add the ?php endif? before the endwhile.

I’m totally up on my php so could someone help with converting this into an ‘if’ ‘else’ statement that allows for multiple group names rather than just one.

So far I’ve got this
if(bp_get_group_name() != ‘Community’ ) : if(bp_get_group_name() != ‘General’ ) : if(bp_get_group_name() != ‘Off Topic’ ) :

but I need to endif 3 times which surely isn’t the best way. And also I can get an else in there.

To put some context around this, I plan on having a number of groups for forums only, and new members will automatically be added to them, so I plan on hiding the item-header and nav section on these group pages and show a new

in there instead. Then when they are removed from the groups page and widgets they’ll only be accessible through the forums.

@ch8rt – rather than write that long nested if structure, put your group names into an array, and then check if the bp_get_group_name is in that array, using the PHP in_array() function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php

@pollyplummer – Yes, an exclude parameter would be very useful – it came up in another forum thread recently as well

I’m still trying to get this working, an array seems the best way, like you said, but I have no idea on how to code it properly. The documentation for php always seems to go over my head.

This is what I have so far.

`<?php
$special = array(“General”, “Community”);
if ( bp_get_group_name() == $special ) ?>
/*special group*/

/*none special group*/
`

But thats not working. Any ideas?

PHP docs are fairly clear, but try this:

`$special = array(“General”, “Community”);
if (in_array( bp_get_group_name(), $special) ) : ?>

Do stuff if group name is in array

Otherwise do some different stuff

`

Hi @boonebgorges can we specify the exclude bp_has_group parameters in widget_logic for excluding some groups from getting displayed?

Appreciate your help. Thank you
