Does this Theme Component still work? https://github.com/discourse/discourse-groups-css-classes-in-body It didn’t seem to do anything for me despite lots of groups being set to be visible to ‘logged in users’. It could be very handy for several things!

As far as I know, Discourse adds the user groups to the body tag without any theme component :thinking: [Captura]

I just tried it, and it seems to work fine. Do you see any errors in the console? To be clear, that component only adds the current user’s groups as CSS classes on the tag.

Discourse only adds a single class for the current user’s primary group by default.

Nathan Kershaw: maybe it doesn’t work in login-only sites Just tested that, and it worked OK for me. As soon as the user is logged-in, the group classes get added to the tag. Nathan Kershaw: Or if group visibility is set below everyone I also tested that, and it seems to work without issue. I tried all five visibility options. Can you share a link to the site you’re seeing this issue on?

Actually, the problem was user stupidity! I was adding it to the default Theme. Unfortunately I forgot that I was using a dev Theme for my own account. Doh! Thanks for looking into it, and sorry to waste your time! It is a good TC - could do with some documentation, eh?
