Member of A but not of C can be done like this:

[groups_member group="A"]
[groups_non_member group="C"]
You are a member of group A but you're not in group C.
[/groups_non_member]
[/groups_member]

Member of A and C cannot be expressed currently and nesting the same shortcode within itself unfortunately isn’t an option due to limitations of WordPress’ shortcode parser.

But a solution to the above would be to allow unary negation and binary conjunction of group names (disjunction is already implemented) within the shortcodes’ group attribute – if that were implemented, the shortcodes could be used interchangeably. I see the worth of it and am adding this as a feature request.

The code above won’t solve any problem but can show what the problem is. Did the file debug.log contain anything?

Would also be helpful: what other plugins are active on your site?

Please add the following lines to your wp-config.php:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);

below the comment that says “For developers: WordPress debugging mode.”

then try to add a user to a group again and post the contents of wp-content/debug.log (to pastebin.com if it’s big and place link).

This rather looks like the wpautop filter’s fiendish plot to me 😉

If you try this …

[groups_member group="Registered"]
<p>Example text viewable by "Registered" group members</p>
[/groups_member]
[groups_member group="Formview"]
<div style="background-color:#f00">
<strong>Private Form</strong>
<br />
<img src="http://www.website.com/images/image.jpg">
<br />
[gravityform id="1" name="Gravity Form" title="false" description="false" ajax="true"]
</div>
[/groups_member]
[groups_member group="Registered"]
<p>Example text viewable by "Registered" group members</p>
[/groups_member]

… you will see that the red area renders with additional breaks added for those that belong to the ‘Formview’ group.

For those who don’t, no red area is displayed. You should be able to eliminate the extra breaks be writing some things on one line, in any case, Groups doesn’t produce these. Another option is to disable the filter altogether, but then you don’t have it working when you want it to. Tricky sometimes, but I’ve usually come around it by adjusting the page and editing in HTML mode.

Release 2.1.5 fixes this.

Many thanks again lukewarmmizer for reporting this issue.

Thanks for the suggestion, this and the option to show or hide this for certain content types I’d like to see added myself. Duly noted and added to the list of feature requests.

Hey thanks for commenting on this, I’ll check that myself and get back on that.

Groups and BuddyPress are completely independent and groups defined in BuddyPress are not related. That can be a good thing or not, depending on what you want to handle of course, so it really depends on your use of groups within Groups and/or BuddyPress.

Anyhow, Groups with the WooCommerce extensions would not have any effect on the groups you define within BuddyPress – some interest has been shown in integrating that, but there’s no integration I currently know of that you could use.
