Restrict posts based on buddypress groups

    Hey,
    I was wondering whether an addon would exist to enable posts restriction and/or menu items restriction based on buddypress groups.
    I would be expecting a new metabox when creating a post where I would check groups who are able to see the post.
    Otherwise, is there such a third party plugin which could enable this?

    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Best wishes.

    hi @whoaloic,

    perhaps give a try to this plugin:

    Blog Categories for Groups Plugin

    Hello,
    I finally use https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/user-access-manager to restrict access to posts (and custom post types).
    I had to create same groups than BuddyPress for the plugin because this one does not synchronies with BuddyPress groups.
    But this plugin effectively adds a Access metabox for each post where I can check groups who are able to read posts.
    It will be such an improvement if BuddyPress integrates such a feature.
    Where could I post this feature suggestion?

    Best regards.

    Hi @whoaloic,

    want remind some points
    – posts are handled by WordPress. BuddyPress speciality are the members, not publication.
    When group members want to talk together, they can use the notice editor for brief messages or if you install bbpres they can use the forum.

    -It exist a buddypress group blog plugin, who allows group members to use a blog, similar to the main blog.

    – BuddyPress features are developped if there is a general need, rarely for particular usage.

    Of course, you can suggest an ehancement on Trac. To ogin use same credentials as on this forum. Details are explained here.

    If you feel concerned by BuddyPress development, i suggest to express your opinion by participating on the brand new 2015 BuddyPress survey. 😉

    OK, thank you 🙂

    In my case, I have Custom Posts Type.
    In my CPT archive, all posts are listed, but I would like to restrict access to certain groups.
    So I don”t think the buddypress group blog plugin would help me.

    All right 🙂

    I’ve just posted a new ticket in buddypress trac.

    Thank you Dan
