For each _BuddyPress_ Group, the plugin will automatically create two _CiviCRM_ Groups: * A “Member Group” (of type “Mailing List”) containing a Contact record for each corresponding _BuddyPress_ Group Member. This Group is assigned the same name as the linked _BuddyPress_ Group. * An “ACL Group” (of type “Access Control”) containing the Contact records of the Administrators of the corresponding _BuddyPress_ Group. This gives _BuddyPress_ Group Administrators the ability to view and edit their Group Members in _CiviCRM_. When a new Member is added to (or joins) a _BuddyPress_ Group, they are automatically added to the corresponding _CiviCRM_ Group. Likewise, when a Contact is added to the _CiviCRM_ “Member Group”, they will be added as a Member to the corresponding _BuddyPress_ Group. If a Contact is added to the _CiviCRM_ “ACL Group”, they will be added to the _BuddyPress_ Group as an Administrator. This plugin works in a similar way to the [Drupal _Organic Groups CiviCRM_ module](https://civicrm.org/blog/lobo/civicrm-and-og-organic-groups). Existing Groups in _CiviCRM_ that were generated by the Drupal _Organic Groups CiviCRM_ module can be migrated to become _BuddyPress_-compatible _CiviCRM_ Groups. ### Requirements This plugin requires a minimum of _WordPress 4.9_, _BuddyPress 2.3_ and _CiviCRM 5.19_. Having the latest version of each plugin active is, of course, highly recommended. ### Plugin Development This plugin is in active development.
