No change in behavior at all. 1. If the forum is set to **public**, open, restricted to group 1, all logged in users can see the listing and access the group 2. If the forum is set to **private**, open, restricted to group 1, all logged in users can see the listing, but returns “not found” page for users that don’t belong to group 1. 3. If the forum is set to **hidden**, open, restricted to group 1, only wordpress administrators can see the listing, and ONLY administrators that belong to group 1 can access it * **Desired behavior**: Users not in group 1 see NO listing of the forum and are denied access, while logged in users in group 1 are able to see the listing for the forum and access it accordingly. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Private groups] Private forums not being displayed or hidden correctly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/) * Thread Starter [tknew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tknew/) * (@tknew) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/#post-5561894) * I’m out for the weekend, I may remote in and see if I can test on it, but otherwise, I will not be able to investigate this further until next week. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Private groups] Private forums not being displayed or hidden correctly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/) * Thread Starter [tknew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tknew/) * (@tknew) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/#post-5561797) * I will replicate the site to a test environment and do as you ask. I’m worried that turning off the Active Directory Integration will break authentication on my wp site * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Private groups] Private forums not being displayed or hidden correctly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/) * Thread Starter [tknew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tknew/) * (@tknew) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/#post-5561795) * the only plugin I have turned on that affects users is Active Directory Integration. This is affecting both the forums list AND the widget. I’m inclined to believe there is some kind of logic error with either `forum-filters.php` or with `user- view-post.php` I know that it is able to properly identify if a user belongs to the group, because it DOES block access if the user doesn’t belong, but the forum-filters might be returning some incorrect values * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Private groups] Private forums not being displayed or hidden correctly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/) * Thread Starter [tknew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tknew/) * (@tknew) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/#post-5561790) * the help page says this: * > Only logged in users see group forums, and even then only ones that they have > access to. > DESCRIPTION: the default view. Allows unlimited groups with unique combination > of access to forums, but they only see those they have access to. > TO SET : Do not set the visibility. * This is the expected behaviour, but not what is happening. My logged in users can see forums that they do not have access too. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Private groups] Private forums not being displayed or hidden correctly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/) * Thread Starter [tknew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tknew/) * (@tknew) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/#post-5561789) * If I make public, but click the “restrict content to group” flag on the forum properties, non-group members seem to have full unadulterated access to the forum. If I make it “private,” the forum is blocked, but it is still listed. I don’t want it listed at all unless the logged in user belongs to that forum’s group. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Private groups] Private forums not being displayed or hidden correctly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/) * Thread Starter [tknew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tknew/) * (@tknew) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forums-not-being-displayed-or-hidden-correctly/#post-5561788) * Is there a way, then, to make forums only get listed and visible when the logged on member is a member of that forum? I can’t figure out how to make that work. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Private groups] Private Forum not visible/accessible by member of group](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forum-not-visibleaccessible-by-member-of-group/) * [tknew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tknew/) * (@tknew) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/private-forum-not-visibleaccessible-by-member-of-group/#post-5386660) * I am having the same issue with the widget. Private forums will not show up for logged in users that are members of the groups that the forums belong to. Have played with almost every setting I can find. * Widget **(Private Groups) Forums List: Forums** have tried Parent Forum ID values:“ 0” and “any” but neither have made a difference. * **Forum** - Setting the forum type to “Private” makes the forum visible to everybody, but only members can access it - Setting it to Hidden, anyone who is a site admin can see forum, but only group members can access it. The forum is NOT visible to any non-site-admins, regardless of group membership. - Setting it to Public, makes visible and accessible to anyone, regardless of“ Forum Groups’ setting * **Private Group Settings** - Forum Visibility: inactive - Freshness Message: inactive * Even after changing the forum role to participant in User Management, the user still cannot see the forums in the widget. If I go to the “Forums” page, I get“ Oh Bother! No forums were found here” * There may be some error in the logic that determines what forums should be displayed with regard to group membership. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Recurring by day of month (e.g. fourth Sunday) NOT working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recurring-by-day-of-month-eg-fourth-sunday-not-working/) * [tknew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tknew/) * (@tknew) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recurring-by-day-of-month-eg-fourth-sunday-not-working/#post-4392696) * My question is, if there is no support for every #num months by day of week, when why is it an option in the menu? * I want to add a holiday like Thanksgiving or Memorial day, which occur on the 4th Thursday or the last Monday in November and May respectively. The plugin will not allow me to set repeat X times, every **#num** past 9, when I should be able to put up to 12 here, and also, according to this post, it doesn’t work anyway? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Remove Dashboard Access] updated plugin to work with WP 4.0 and now my admin account is locked out](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin-to-work-with-wp-40-and-now-my-admin-account-is-locked-out/) * [tknew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tknew/) * (@tknew) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin-to-work-with-wp-40-and-now-my-admin-account-is-locked-out/#post-5424169) * I also had a problem with being locked out of the dashboard after upgrading this plugin to 1.1.1 on wordpress 4.0. I am extremely thankful that I’m running in a VM and took a snapshot prior to updating then plugin.

It seems my php mail function isn’t working properly from wordpress. It is important to note that this plugin does not send notifications through osticket, but through wordpress itself. I hope this helps others in my situation. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[osTicket WP Bridge] Login required to submit ticket? (OST 1.8.1)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-required-to-submit-ticket-ost-181/) * [tknew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tknew/) * (@tknew) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-required-to-submit-ticket-ost-181/#post-4676527) * the only users who sign in to osticket are your staff members. They will still have to sign into the /scp on osTicket to respond to support requests. All this plugin does is allow a logged WordPress user to submit a ticket through wordpress instead of having to go to another web page. * I am using this in tandem with an active directory integration plugin, so my users authenticate through wordpress against my domain controller, and when they click to open a ticket, their name and email are prefilled from the wordpress account. I cannot see that the SCP for osticket has reverse authentication against AD or wordpress, and if it does, it would probably be beyond the scope of this plugin.
