\n\t This article will guide you through the process of setting up the Groups extension for UsersWP. <\/p>\n

Overview<\/h2>\n

\n\t The Groups extension lets you create and manage groups on your UsersWP-powered website, similar to the way you might manage groups on social networks such as Facebook. <\/p>\n

\n\t You need to have the Groups<\/a> extension for UsersWP installed and activated in order to access these options. <\/section>\n

\n\t Once installed and activated, there are no special settings to configure. However, you should consider specifying the templates for Create Group, Groups List <\/strong>and Groups Item <\/strong>pages. The extension will automatically do the needful, but you can manually edit the same by heading to UsersWP > General > Pages. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t \"\"<\/p>\n

\n\t To learn how to create a new group, read the Creating Groups<\/a> guide. <\/section>\n

Managing Groups<\/h2>\n

\n\t You can choose whether or not you want your group members to be able to invite other members to the groups. Furthermore, you can also make your groups Public, Private <\/strong>or Hidden. <\/strong>You can also decide whether posts should be auto-published or approved by a moderator first. <\/p>\n

Worth Noting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • The Groups List <\/strong>template lists all the groups on your site. Hidden Groups <\/strong>do not show up in the list. <\/li>\n
  • The Group Item <\/strong>template displays the group item in groups list page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
