 * I’m seeing from the wp-admin backend that there is a taxonomy for “associated
   items” which is not visible when you do any front-end editing. I can assign it
   through the backend and view them as a group when permalinks is set to “plain”
   but if the permalink is set to “postname” or any other else than plain, I’m getting
   a “Friday Oops! That page can’t be found.” error
 * I have a few questions:
    1) How can I make that associated items appear when 
   I edit docs through the front-end? 2) How can I view all associated items when
   permalinks is set to “post name”

 * Hi @carl-alberto-
 * I recommend editing docs from the front end only–working from the back end can
   cause issues in some cases, because we do quite a bit of extra work when the 
   doc is saved on the front end to make sure that the user has access.
 * The “Associated items” taxonomy is also handled at save and is selected from 
   the “associated group” you select on the front-end edit screen. So it already
   appears.
 * Docs work fine when permalinks are set to post name (or any other setting) unless
   your theme or another plugin is interfering. You might try saving the setting
   again to make sure that the permalink structure is flushed. If you’ve manually
   tinkered with the “Associated item” settings from the backend, you could also
   be running into the doc protection scheme.
 * Best,

 * Hi David,
 * Thanks for the reply, Here is my WP setup:

   TwentySixteen latest -Plugins, BuddyPress, BuddyPress Docs & TinyMCE all in default
   settings, latest version and not modified

 * -It seems that is don’t have the “associated items” available in the front-end,
   I only have the title, permalink, content, attachments, access, tags and parent.
   Do I have to do any manual settings?
 * Thanks!

 * The “Associated Group” setting on the front sets the “associated items” taxonomy
   term.
 * If you do not have BP’s groups component enabled, you won’t see the “associated
   group” section.
 * Did you figure out your permalink structure problem?

 * Hi David,
 * I think the associated items taxonomy permalinks structure will not be relevant
   since it is not fully shown from the frontend.
 * For the “Associated Items”, I will just disregard it coz it cannot be set directly
   from the front. It seems there are a lot more options enabled when the “user 
   groups” component is enabled. Do you have a documentation for that? I think I
   contribute some documentation for that part
 * Thanks! Great plugin!
