Install
No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/lhero-org/lh-buddypress-group-taxonomies/archive/refs/heads/main.zipUses WordPress built-in taxonomies to add tag-style classification to BuddyPress groups. Site-specific by design — each site on a Multisite network keeps its own taxonomy vocabulary, with no root-blog forcing or network-wide sharing.
Forked from "BP Groups Taxo" by imath, which is unmaintained upstream.
Installation
- Upload/install the plugin as
lh-buddypress-group-taxonomies. - Activate on the site(s) where you want group taxonomies — no network activation is required or assumed.
- Register a taxonomy (object type
bp_group) and hook it into thelh_bp_group_taxonomies_taxonomiesfilter, typically from a companion plugin or theme. - Visit Settings → Permalinks → Save Changes on that site to flush rewrite rules if your taxonomy uses directory-style URLs.
