Hi Hugo,

Please add it in your bp-custom.php

/**
 * Redirect to group post if needed.
 */
function buddydev_redirect_to_group_post() {

	if ( ! function_exists( 'bcg_get_post_type' ) || ! is_singular( bcg_get_post_type() ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$post_id  = get_queried_object_id();
	$group_id = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_bcg_group_id', true );
	if ( $group_id && ! bp_is_group() ) {

		$post      = get_post( $post_id );
		$permalink = bp_get_group_permalink( groups_get_group( $group_id ) ) . BCG_SLUG . '/' . $post->post_name;

		bp_core_redirect( $permalink, 301 );
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_template_redirect', 'buddydev_redirect_to_group_post' );

/**
 * Exclude the group posts from everywhere else.
 *
 * @param WP_Query $query query object.
 */
function buddydev_filter_out_bcg_posts( $query ) {

	if ( is_admin() || ! function_exists( 'bcg_get_post_type' ) ) {
		return;
	}

	// Not our post type or inside the group.
	if ( bcg_get_post_type() != $query->get( 'post_type' ) || bp_is_group() ) {
		return;
	}

	$args = $query->query_args;

	if ( isset( $args['meta_query'] ) ) {
		$meta_query = $args['meta_query'];
	} else {
		$meta_query = array();
	}

	// now, we add our own condition.
	$meta_query[] = array(
		'key'     => '_is_bcg_post',
		'value'   => '1', // not needed.
		'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
	);

	$query->set( 'meta_query', $meta_query );
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'buddydev_filter_out_bcg_posts' );

Please do note that it does not check for categories. Instead, It checks if the post was created from group interface and does the needed.

Hi Hugo,
That’s correct.

You can make any post invisible from stream by adding the meta key

_is_bcg_post

But in order to properly redirect(If a post is accessed directly), we need the associated group too.

That should be stored as the numeric value in another meta

_bcg_group_id

So, if you are importing, please make sure to have these two values.

Hi Hugo,
The above steps is only needed if you are importing posts. Posts created with BCG don’t need it.

In order to add it, you will need to know the group id.

Hoe are you importing the post?
