as of bp-groups-loader.php:147 you can use from within bp-custom.php
`define(``'BP_DISABLE_AUTO_GROUP_JOIN'``,true);`

Thank you. I will give that a try.
That didn’t seem to work. When I sign in as a member I still have to join a group before I can post within the group.
Is there a way to automatically sign members up for every group? It just seems like the site would be more user friendly that way.

I believe it allows anyone to browse any group without joining but after their first post, they will auto join the group. Seems to work that way with the latest version for both wordpress + buddypress.
Thanks. I’ll have to mess around with that some more.
That worked just like you said for the forums, which is great. Can I just add that code to another line to make it work the same way for making posts on the group pages? That way the text box for making posts is always there and you automatically join the group when you make a post.
The define display false or true. He’s not intended to manage what you expect.
