I cannot get to group settings on the admin side of things anymore? I have tried the
you.site/admin/groups/ and discourse oops not found
you.site/admin/groups/custom/ and it returns generic browser 404
you.site/admin/groups/custom/new and it returns generic browser 404
I am admin and moderator, as well as site initial setup account
Any more info I can provide?
It worked earlier, then it was updated and I believe it stopped working then?
It definitely worked earlier as I created groups and did some stuff with it.

This is by design … we moved all the functionality to /groups the old admin UI was one of our least favorite sections in the admin page.

Ah and I don’t have the public group directory enabled! so when I goto your.site/groups I get a Access Denied something went wrong.
Maybe this needs to be accessible to moderators and admins even with it disabled in site settings?

I see, @tgxworld will sort this out so you can unconditionally get to /groups and that we always show it in hamburger for staff!
