[Arantor]

Yes, don't do it.

Yes. There will be issues.

Delete one of them

I have deleted Starter group. Now newbie group shows only one member. How to fix?

[Arantor]

Run the file attached to this post: https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?msg=3633527

fix_pgrp.php is a script I wrote to force all post count group members to be re-evaluated.

yes it fixed the issue. Now should I delete fix_pgrp.php from my server? Will it cause any security issue?

[Arantor]

You should delete it.

[sirfpsycho]

You should delete it.

Thank you for your help.
Now I want to set if users have below 5 posts then their posts will go to pending approval. I have already created a group which require 5 posts. but I don't know how to turn ON the permission that requires approval for post for below 5 posts?

Go back to my guide, that was written for 2.0 but the only difference is how to ensure post moderation is actually turned on, which if I remember rightly is from the Permissions > Post Moderation page in 2.1 (rather than Core Features in 2.0)

I can not find where should I put 5 post limit?

You don't specify a limit, you use the post count group permissions and the post count limits in those groups define when permissions change.

Unless using deny -permissions, if you want to deny a permission from a user you need to make sure they don't belong to any group allowing that permission, and every user always belongs to at least 2 groups. For a new member, those are the lowest post count group and the regular members group.

So don't allow posting without approval for either of those, and to make sure others don't need approval you would then allow posting without approval for all other post count groups, which would cover the rest of the userbase.

Please read my notes again.

You create a new post count group, at 5 posts, and give them different permissions. That way, people in the 0+ post count group only get "post with approval" and people in the 5+ group only get "post without approval".

The trick is ensuring that there isn't some accidental overlap where "regular members" or some other group *also* gives out the "post without approval" permission.

If you want a different number to 5, create the new post count group with a different number of posts as its minimum.

Thank you I got it.
