Membership – BuddyPress Question – Creating Groups

Membership:

Is it possible to use membership to limit users ability to create groups?

My goal is to charge users a premium to create and administer groups.

    Greetings ryangambrill,

    Thank you for this great question and a significant item to bring up.

    Is it possible to use membership to limit users ability to create groups?

    Anything is possible when one is a competent coder with a vision and the will to get it done – and I am not a coder.

    This is not an out of the box feature of Membership and therefore beyond the scope of the support we provide here. However, I would certainly help you if I had an idea of how to implement this regardless.

    From my understanding of the plugin and its intended use, it is certain that you can control access to the groups or not based on levels, but not how many each person can create without heavy duty custom coding.

    Cheers, Joe
