Hi

Is there a way to prevent updated threads from group forums to show up in the root forums “stream” where you can see newly created/updated threads?

Thanks!

I don’t think so, but maybe our admins have the solution)

Right thanks @derrickhall.

So is there any Buddypresss admin/dev that could jump in and help out with how to disable that?

It´s really a privacy concern and issue because groups are somewhat a private entity and updates should stay inside the groups themselves and not be spammed in the general forums update stream.

Thanks!

Forums created in association with private or hidden groups are created as private forums. (They’ll only show up in the big forums list if you can see them.) Forums associated with public groups are not private–anyone can visit your-group/forum. They will show up in the big list. Visit /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum to verify that private forums are set to private.

Hi @dcavins

Thanks for your reply.

Actually the private forums do show up in that list too when you make updates in them.
Is there any way you could turn the whole shabang off so no updates are shown in the root forum?

kind regards

Make sure you’re seeing what your subscriber users see. As a site admin, you can see everything. As a limited user, private forums don’t show up, unless the user has access to it.
