How do I create a Group?

Posted October 26, 2007, 2:39 pm

To create a group, follow these steps:

Go to the Groups Page. (There's a link on the top navigation bar on every page of the WPFT Community)
Click Create Group.
Enter a name for your group.
Describe your group. This is really important because this is how other members will decide whether to read your group posts and ultimately join. Make it as descriptive and interesting as you can.
Choose one of our main categories that best describes your group. Categorizing your group will help other members with similar interests find your group.
Decide how you want to restrict membership. Open means that anyone who clicks "join group" on your group page will automatically become a member. Invitation Only means that you must invite other WPFT.org members to join your group. You can do this by clicking on the "invite to group" link on his or her profile page. Approval Required means that you will have to approve every member who requests to join your group.
Click Submit
Congratulations! You've now created a group that has the power to unite people worldwide or just a few of your best friends. Please remember that until our moderation team has approved the group, members will not be able to see it. Once it's been approved, you'll be notified and can start finding new members!
