Set iMember360 controls for BuddyPress/BuddyBoss Group Membership​

Steps to control users membership of BuddyPress/BuddyBoss Groups

The access conditions in the iMember360 panel as illustrated above controls BuddyPress/BuddyBoss group membership for each group.

If the logged in user satisfies the access criteria specified they will become members of the BuddyPress/BuddyBoss group. If the logged in user does not satisfy the access criteria they will not become members or will be removed as members the group.

A full description of the access conditions that control membership of the BuddyPress/BuddyBoss group are the same as those detailed here: Set Post/Page Access Conditions.

If a setting is specified for When forbidden redirect to any visitor attempting to access the group will be redirected there in preference to the page specified in the extension settings.

Important

The iMember360 BuddyPress/BuddyBoss Extension only controls the redirect for those not enrolled in Public BuddyPress/BuddyBoss groups. If the group is Private or Hidden BuddyPress/BuddyBoss will determine the redirect.

BuddyPress/BuddyBoss Group Memberships​

When iMember360 is controlling group membership by specifying iMember360 Post/Page Access Conditions the BuddyPress/BuddyBoss Group type can only be Private or Hidden.

Similarly all standard BuddyPress/BuddyBoss buttons for joining, leaving or requesting membership to join the group will not be shown as iMember360 is automatically controlling membership of the group.

Important

If iMember360 Post/Page Access Conditions are specified to control the membership of a BuddyPress/BuddyBoss group upon saving those settings the group, if currently a public group, will be switched to a private group type.

If iMember360 Post/Page Access Conditions are not specified to control membership of a BuddyPress/BuddyBoss group any BuddyPress/BuddyBoss group type can be used and membership will be controlled solely by BuddyPress/BuddyBoss in the standard ways i.e as if iMember360 was not activated for the site.
