The BuddyPress Group Moderation plugin streamlines the process of managing new group creation on your BuddyPress community. As an administrator, you have full control over which groups become active and visible to your members. Here’s how to manage pending groups:
What Happens When a New Group is Created?
Whenever a user creates a new group, you will receive a notification in your WordPress admin dashboard. If email notifications are enabled, you will also receive an email alerting you to the new pending group.
Reviewing and Moderating Pending Groups
-
Access Pending Groups:
-
In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to WordPress Dashboard >>Groups>> Pending Groups.

Here, you will see a list of all groups awaiting approval.

Approve or Reject Groups:

For each pending group, you have two options:
-
Approve:
-
Click the Approve button to activate the group.
-
The group will be assigned the visibility (public, private, or hidden) originally chosen by its creator.
-
The group creator will be notified that their group is now active.

-
Reject:

Click the Reject button to delete the group.

The group creator will be notified that their group was not approved.

Summary of the Approval Workflow
