 * I’m having difficulty configuring user groups on my WordPress site using your
   plugin. I’ve followed the documentation instructions, but the groups aren’t functioning
   as expected. How can I properly set up and manage user groups with your plugin?

 * Hi there,
 * Can you please share some more details regarding the functionality inconsistencies
   you noticed?
 * In general, the concept behind Groups plugin is the following:
    1. Once the group(s) are created – [https://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups/setup/groups/](https://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups/setup/groups/)
    2. You can add your user(s) to them – [https://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups/memberships/](https://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups/memberships/)
    3. Then you should specify which post-types should be available to Groups for applying
       restrictions – [https://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups/setup/options/](https://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups/setup/options/)
    4. Afterwards you can restrict each of your posts or post-types to one or more 
       of these groups – [https://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups/access-control/](https://docs.itthinx.com/document/groups/access-control/)
 * The restricted posts or post-types will be accessible only by the members of 
   the groups used to restrict these posts.
 * Kind regards,
 * George
