Group Forum with bbp private groups

Hi,

We use bbpress, buddypress, and bbp-private-groups in a WordPress installation.
Thank you for the great plugins!

In the Buddypress Group Settings, the group administrator can also create a forum.
How can I add a specific group from bbp-private-groups to a group forum when creating the group forum?
I couldn’t find an option for this in the backend settings.
Is there a suitable hook? I don’t know the forum ID yet for “groups_group_after_save”.
I would add the group with add_post_meta( $forum_id, ‘_private_group’, ‘group1’, false );.

Thanks for any tips!

I’m pretty sure that the buddypress function hooks to the new_forum_handler in bbpress, so this should work
```
add_action( 'bbp_new_forum_post_extras', 'rew_add_pg', 10 , 1) ;

function rew_add_pg ($forum_id ) {
	 add_post_meta( $forum_id, '_private_group', 'group1', false );
}
```
Let me know of not.

Thank you for your prompt response.
The hook bbp_new_forum_post_extras is not being called.

I have now tried the hook bbp_insert_forum. It is being called. To ensure that it is a group forum, I then ran the following query:
$group_ids = get_post_meta( $forum_id, ‘_bbp_group_ids’, false );

$group_ids does not yet exist at this point. I only want to call add_post_meta( $forum_id, ‘_private_group’, ‘group1’, false ); if it is a group forum.

Best regards
