Hi Nik,
Thank you for the feedback.

My changes are limited to Group Blog and have no affect on how BuddyBlog Pro works.
I haven’t updated BuddyBlog and the last changes were limited to Group posts only.

1. Admin notifications.
Sorry the line should have been this

if ( get_current_user_id() == $post->post_author && is_super_admin() ) {
			return;
		}

not

		if ( get_current_user_id() == $post->post_author ) {
			return;
		}

An update will be available today for this.

2. Group admins still receive the author notification:- That is correct. We do’t have UI to disable and I can’t disable it for specific use case as there is a possibility group admins might not have the ability to publish for some of the setup.
I put a filter there yesterday ‘bblpro_groups_post_submission_notify_author’

You can use it like.

// disables author notification for group admin.
add_filter( 'bblpro_groups_post_submission_notify_author', function ( $notify, $author, $post, $group_id, $form_id ) {
	if ( groups_is_user_admin( $author->ID, $group_id ) ) {
		$notify = false;
	}

	return $notify;
}, 10, 5 );

3. Can you please help me understand this

 Those posting in group with admin or editor permissions are handled in the same way as “regular” group members (ie. non group admins)

Should we treat them differently?
I am not using roles as I the purpose of BuddyBlog pro/Group blog is for community posts and not editorial content of the site.

Hi Nik,
Thank you for the reply.
Please upgrade to 1.0.0-rc7.

This update will disable self notification to group admin/site admin for post approval, rejection, submission.

If in a group, there are 4 group admins and one of them submits the post, the other 3 will still get a submission notification.

Do you want to disable that too?

PS:- The code from Ravi is no longer needed for site admin/group admin notification prevention.

Hi Nik,

Thank you for the reply 😀

You can allow group admins to approve/reject and then 2 links with approve/reject will appear on the posts list in group when a group admin or site admin is viewing the posts list.

Hope that helps.

Hi Maurice,
Thank you.
We will be testing it again this week. We have tested in past and did not see any such issue. I will have at least 2 different people test it this week to see if they can replicate.
If it is a replicable bug, we will fix it.

Hi Nik,
We are reviewing your previous reply and the issue with self notification. I am expecting a final publish next week.

The reason we haven’t published BuddyBlog group yet is the complexity. With too many options, there comes huge complexity and that has been one of the reason to hold back.
We are still not sure how we handle this as we do need settings at admin level as well as group level.

We will be auditing BuddyBlog groups this week and I will push the update by early next week.

Thank you
Brajesh
