    Greetings… I’m looking for a way to require admin approval prior to creation of a group.

    I note there was a post about this a couple of years ago (see https://buddydev.com/support/forums/topic/plugin-that-moderates-group-creation/) but can’t see any follow up.

    Just wondering if there have been any further developments on this or whether you have any suggestions with regard to how to approach.

    With many thanks in advance.
    Nik

    Hi Nik,
    Thank you for the question.

    We did not find it aligned with our goal and could not work on it.

    If you want to achieve it, you may want to set the group hidden by default, disable the Group Management screen for creators, disable joining/request and then add a filter for filtering these in the admin.

    Regards

    Hi Brajesh

    Thank you so much for your helpful reply.

    I follow your suggestion with regard to disabling certain aspects, not quite so sure I can visualise how “a filter for filtering these in admin” would be created or how it would work but will definitely give it some more thought.

    Warm regards
    Nik

    Hi Nik,
    You are welcome.

    oops, I mean, you add a flag(meta key) and use that to filter the list of groups.
