 * Got this from Learndash:
 * It sounds like they BuddyBoss needs to update something in their plugin to be
   compatible with v2.2.1.1 of LearnDash since our latest release had updates to
   how users were enrolled to courses and LearnDash groups. I would pass this along
   to BuddyBoss and hopefully they will be able to update the plugin to resolve 
   this issue.

 * I did this, but when someone is added to the course, it doesn’t add them to the
   group. When someone registered and was automatically added to the now public 
   group, it shows them as having 1 group, but in the list, nothing shows up.
 * And when they go to that group it says “join group,” so they’re not actually 
   in it.

 * I guess I could have sent this all as one message. But it’s probably more readable
   this way.
 * THE SAGA CONTINUES!
 * I renamed the newly created clone achievement “Courses” which was what the original
   funky achievement type was named. (This achievement is for a learndash course.)
 * So I guess it’s an issue with the name “courses.” Interesting thought that even
   changing the name doesn’t fix it.
 * When I first created the the achievement / achievement type, it was taking the
   same url/slug as the actual course, so when people went to the course they just
   saw the badgeos page rather than the course.
 * So that seems to be the issue.
 * Not sure if this better for you or for buddyboss who created the badgeos for 
   learndash plugin (right?).

 * I tried changing the page slug and the achievement slug, but neither worked.
 * I tried changing the required steps, but that didn’t work either.
 * I tried creating another badge for the same achievement type, and that one also
   404ed.
 * But when I created a badge for a different achievement type, it was fine.
 * So I think it has something to do with the achievement type. I tried unchecking
   all the boxes on the achievement type settings. (They were all checked). But 
   it still 404s. So not sure what else to do. So weird.

 * I did this after I created the group though. Does it only apply when you create
   a group?

 * Right, but what about people who want to be in the group but don’t want to take
   the course?
 * For my setup, the course is an extra/bonus for the group, not the group being
   a extra/bonus for the course. I want anybody to be able to join the group, and
   take the course if they choose to.
 * So making the group automatically private means that I can’t really use this 
   plugin which is too bad.

 * Hey, thanks for the quick response.
 * I think upgrading to the new version is actually what created the problem. It
   was working fine before.
 * I’m not a developer so I’m not really sure what you mean about the custom label.

 * Thanks for the quick response 🙂
 * It is problematic for my setup. For me, the course is an add-on / extra for the
   group, rather than the group being an add-on / extra for the course.
 * So there will be people in the group who don’t want to take the course.
 * And they’ll sign up for the group first without even knowing there is a course
   at first. But if the group is automatically set to private, they can’t join the
   group to even know there is a course.
