Issue with Private Group Posts Displaying Incorrect Category

Adam C

I created a private group and specified a particular category ID to only show posts from that category. However, upon viewing the private group page, I noticed that posts from other categories, made by group members, were still visible. I am unsure if this is a bug or if there is something that I overlooked.

@Adam-C thanks for reporting, I will get this fixed since it's confusing. It will eventually fix itself when new posts are posted by members of that group and only posts in cid:6 will show up. But we can filter the list before displaying it.

Thanks @baris. I also figured out that the group member created the post before the particular category was set for this group. So the old posts in a different category still show. And as you said they will be gone after new posts are posted by members.
Another possible issue is that when the member left, his/her posts are still kept there. But it may be okay.
