Private Groups’s post still showing up in activity streams

    While testing my site, I came across something that needed to be addressed. When my groups decide that they want to be private, that usually means that anything and everything that is shared stays within that groups page.

    This is currently not the case. When a group posts on their private page, whoever posted on the timeline will see that same post on their personal activity stream. How can I fix this so that groups are 100% private, and all posts stay on the group page?

    Thank yuo

    Have you tried deactivating all plugins and testing this? By default, activity in private groups stays within the group.

    Does this happen on all groups? Did you try it running the 2016 theme?

    This seems to happen on all groups. And I’m using a premium 2016 theme that is updated often.

    Switch momentarily to a WP standard & free theme that comes with WP – like TwentyThirteen, etc.
    Then check to see if your issue still exists – if it doesn’t, then you know the issue is somewhere in your premium theme.

    Hi,
    I switched to twenty-sixteen theme, and tried creating a private group;posted and I got the same results. Anything that I posted in the private group was posted on my personal profile. So it isn’t the theme…..

    It will display in your personal activity feed for you the user, but if you log in as a different user that content will not be displayed
