bp_group_is_visible( BP_Groups_Group|null $group = null )

Is the group accessible to the currently logged-in user? Despite the name of the function, it has historically checked whether a user has access to a group.

Description

In BP 2.9, a property was added to the BP_Groups_Group class, is_visible, that describes whether a user can know the group exists. If you wish to check that property, use the check: bp_current_user_can( ‘groups_see_group’ ).

Parameters

$group

(BP_Groups_Group|null) (Optional) Group object. Default: current group in loop.

Default value: null

Return

(bool)
