OK, I think I fixed the code. Seems to work for me. Can anyone test and confirm?

<?php

global $bp;

$potential_friend_id = $bp->displayed_user->id;

$friend_requester_id = $bp->loggedin_user->id;

$friend_status = BP_Friends_Friendship::check_is_friend( $friend_requester_id, $potential_friend_id );

if ( $friend_status != 'is_friend' && $potential_friend_id !=  $friend_requester_id) {

echo '<br><br>Oops! You must be friends with <div style="font-weight:bold; display:inline">' . $bp->bp_options_title . '</div> to view this profile.<br>Click the "Add Friend" button above to request friendship.' . bp_add_friend_button();

} else { ?>

… do stuff …

<?php } ?>

actually, there is something wrong with this code I posted.

Will need to check and get back to you

dumb question, but isn’t that what the wire does already?

When i placed your code,it shows this error message

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/username/public_html/sitename/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/friends/index.php on line 13

If you update your code thusly, it should work:

<?php



global $bp, $wpmu;

$potential_friend_id = $bp->displayed_user;

$friend_status = BP_Friends_Friendship::check_is_friend( $bp->loggedin_user, $potential_friend_id );

if ( $friend_status != 'is_friend' && $potential_friend_id !=  $bp->loggedin_user) {

echo "You must be friends to view this profile.".bp_add_friend_button();

} else { ?>

And of course add the

<?php } ?>

at the end.

I cast another “yes” vote for moving privacy controls ahead of version 1.2. Even if the first version of privacy controls is super simple. Thanks!

THANKS Burt for the elegant hack!!

Should be part of the core BP option set…!
