Problem with user roles in a group

    Hello,

    I have succesfully updated to 6.0 (which is great, thanks to the developers).

    I have a single group (1 of 15) that was created about two years ago by another site member, that does not let me administer user roles. The user role member directory is just empty.
    I have tried to log in as the group creator/admin, but that doesn’t help. The problem is, I need to promote another member to new group admin.

    I could delete the group and start over, but there are some activities I would like to keep

    Any hints appreciated, thanks.

    Lars

    Edit:
    Deactivating all plugins but Buddypress doesn’t help.

    Have you tried via wp-admin > Groups > Group > Edit ?

    When logged in as site administrator?

    Yes. From WP-backend I get this with a group that has 9 members:

    I can manage members in all other groups, except this one, which I did not create myself.

    If you have phpmyadmin, you could try manipulating the database tables.
    Make a full backup of your database first.
    Then open the _bp_groups table, find the row with the id of the group and change value of the creator_id field to your id.
    Then open the _bp_groups_members table, find the row with the group_id and the is_admin field where the value will be “1” – and change the value of the user_id field to your id.

    If that does not work, then there is some code on your site that needs to be removed.
    Check your theme/functions.php and plugins/bp-custom.php if it exists.

    I managed to promote myself to group admin via database following your instructions, but I still don’t see and therefore can’t manage members from buddypress, even when changing theme. I do see the members in the database.
    I discovered that I do have other groups created by site members – and I am able to manage members in these groups as a site admin. Strange.

    Thanks for your time and help anyway. 🙂

    Lars.
