Display Status Only to group members in P2 theme in wordpress - wordpress

I've just started to work with WordPress and trying to create a Micro-Blogging Site like twitter. I've installed P2 theme. It's working fine.we can post our statuses like tweets and all.
Now the problem where I am stuck is that:-
As soon as any user logs into the site( I am running it on my localhost and had created users on my own from backend) he/she can see all the posts and tweets of all other users.
So I tried to make few groups and assign several users to each of the groups.
Since I am totally new to WP I searched for may plugins which can allow me to create group and assign members , So that the user from a particular group can see the posts and tweets of the users of that same group.
But I am unable to find out any such plugin(or it might be that I am unable to use the plugins which I found through googling around).
So please can anyone help me to get around this problem.
I would really appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks,

This site had a Buddypress theme that integrated with P2 so that you could use BP's group functionality with P2 but it seems to be down and the other mirrors to this project are also down.
However there are workarounds that couple BP's Groups functionality with plugins to clone Twitter with hashtags and followers and the private groups you desire. See this for an example which I think should work for you.
Remember NOT to disable groups, contrary to what the post suggests.

How to create a job post by email parsing in WordPress?

I want to develop a job board website. I want specific feature in that is job posts will be created automatically by email parsing.
I tried Zapier, but it creates only blog posts.
And tried postie plugin to, but Gmail didn't allow it.
Willing to use job monster / work scout/ superio any one of these themes. If you have any suggestions, please let me know about it.
Is there any way to parse the email data and create a new job post. Please help me to resolve this issue.
No paid task. Need help to learn the things
There is a lot to unpack here.
The main problem you are going to encounter is that the emails you are parsing may not all be formatted the same. To pull the info out of an email you will need to be able to generate some rules to extract it.
If however, the emails are formatted the same then you can use the "split" function in Zapier to pull out the various bits of data from the email. Once you have these you can create a new post with your Zap.
I would recommend looking for a Wordpress plugin that allows you to create lists with custom post types. WP-Bakery does this from memory. You can set up a custom feed based on that post type.
Hopefully this helps narrow down the process for you. Good Luck.

I need help understanding how to refresh cache for a place id

I have installed a Everest GPlaces Business Reviews and have found the place id that is required to be added. But it comes back Saying:
The provided Place ID is no longer valid. Please refresh cached Place IDs as per https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/place-id#save-id
I have read this but I have no idea where to add a field they talk about and am totally stuck. All the reviews plugins have this place id and I don't know what to do from here.
Hoping for some help with what to do. In basic language.
Thanks in advance
I'm no expert; I ran into this problem myself and to my knowledge it seems like reviews can't be pulled easily with most plugins, if the GMB is set up as anything other than a location with a physical address.
Instead of the Places API you'd want to use the My Business API... although if you are using a plugin (and don't want to add a physical location to your GMB) you're stuck.

MLS / IDX Data in the form of XML

I have an issue and I have been struggling with for weeks, almost a month, I am working on this website for a real estate agent in Toronto, Ontario and the last thing I have to do is get the listing on her website. We are using Wordpress wp-residence theme, this theme is compatible with iHomefinder, however the data I get from iHomefinder does not work with the themes features (maps, searches and even styles) I read somewhere that the only way to use these theme features is to add the listing manually. I found this plugin that will import all the listings
https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-residence-add-on-for-wp-all-import/
But now I need to get my listings in the form of XML, CSV or XLS. I have all my login info and url to get my listing, however in the instructions it says I need to connect via RETS Client, which I do not have...is there anyone out there who can point me in the right direction?
You'll need to use an IDX plugin.
I think you should also look over https://mlsimport.com .This plugin should help you import data from MLS. But is a paid version.

Wordpress form to add hotels

I am trying to create a webpage to add hotels (database for hotels) using wordpress. (name, address, pictures, reviews, ...). Ideas?
Another idea for categorizing hotels with cities?
Thanks.
You will probably need to further explain your question so that we can be more help to you. If your intention is to just add a list of hotel names to your website then I don't know of any WordPress plugins for that, but you might want to check out Expedia's EAN http://developer.ean.com/
You need to sign for their affiliate program, which is very easy. You get immediate access to their hotel databases plus you can make availability/booking requests with several response options, including JSON, which is more convenient and lightweight than the (unfortunately) more widespread XML. This is something you will need to hire a developer to do.
If you want to allow clients/visitors to be able to book and search for hotels by just installing a plugin try https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-auto-hotel-finder/.

Wordpress plugin for dependent drop down lists

Well, I know i'm going to be downvoted, but i think it's worth the shot.
I never worked with wordpress, and find it very displeasing to work with. A friend of mine asked me to implement a feature and i just don't have the time to understand it's inner works.
What i'm looking for is a plugin that let me have some sort of a tree, representing localization, kind of like:
Country
State
City
Person 1
Person 2
Person 3
and let me represent it with dependent select boxes that will list the people that belong to in the city, in the state, in the country i select?
Thanks for your help, and i'm sorry if this falls out the scope of SO
P.S.: yes, i have looked and looked in the wordpress plugin directory and haven't found anything.
Probably you will never find a plugin with such a feature.
This is a simple rule-based interface in a structure database.
I suggest you create a database structure parallel to wordpress with the characteristics necessary for the hierarchy shown in your example.
After this model database, you can use the the class wpdb() in wordpress to access this table and perform the query. In the link below there are instructions for this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb
If you want to use the structure of the actual wordpress users, there are some plugins for listing users:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-user-listing/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-list/
But user registration provided by wordpress can not provide detailed information about the user that you need.
Hope this helps.
