Hi @mossyoak

I’ve run a few tests and made some slight changes to that code. Try this
function bp_my_restrict() {
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

if ( bp_is_current_component('members') || bp_is_current_component('activity') ) {…[Read more]

These components already have their own pages.

As examples, try visiting:

yourwebsite.com/activity
yourwebsite.com/members

Just read through your original question. The code snippet you’d want to add to your theme’s functions.php is something like this:
function bp_my_restrict() {
global $bp;
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

if ( bp_is_current_component('members') || bp_is_current_component('activity') ) {…[Read more]

Try this
<?php

?>

You could use the WordPress conditional is_page() to check if the user is on the activity or members page:
if ( is_page('members') || is_page('activity') ) {

}

Note: I’m assuming you haven’t changed the default slugs

It is easily done. You’d need to create a new page template:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates

You can then use a modified members loop inside the page template you create:

Members Loop

<?php
$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

if ( $user->roles[0] != 'editor' )
break;
?>

That’ll display only editors

<?php
$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

if ( $user->roles[0] == 'editor' )
break;
?>

If you add that code directly below while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); you’ll get a list of members who are not editors.

Not currently for hire due to a lack of time – that said, there are quite a few BP developers who will be able to help. Perhaps check who is available on the jobs board. @shanebp might be a good person to ask

Your theme’s functions.php file wouldn’t get overwritten with each update. The changes you make to this file will be safe going forward.

A great place to hire a BuddyPress developer would be the BP Jobs Board:

BP Jobs Board

If you use this code directly below while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); in the members loop, you’ll be able to see which members are editors.
<?php
$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

if ( $user->roles[0] == 'editor' ) {
echo 'this user is an editor';
} else {
echo 'this user is…[Read more]

You’re on the right track – although it isn’t your theme’s style.css that you’d want to add it to. You’d add it to your theme’s functions.php file.

The activation email body can be filtered using bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message

The subject line can also be changed bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_subject

For example: To change the subject line you would add this to functions.php

function activation_email_subject_filter( $subject, $user_id ) {
$subject = 'Hello New…[Read more]

Which premium plugin did you find?

To make uploading an avatar a requirement you’d have to have an upload form on the registration page. This used to happen in BuddyPress. Some discussion on it in this thread:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-avatar-upload-in-registration-form

Disabling usernames sitewide sounds like a huge task to me. BuddyPress needs a unique identifier to use in URLs. Have you thought about providing your members with the ability to change their username?

You’d just need to send a global message to all members letting them know how they can update…[Read more]

There was an alternative to BuddyPress Media (rtMedia) – I think it was called BP Media. I’m not sure if it is supported anymore or even in the WP plugin repository but it might be worth a try if you can get hold of it. That said, rtMedia is working very well for me on my test site. Will be putting it live in the next few weeks.

Hi @naijaping I tried that filter and it doesn’t work. Does it still work for you?

@shanebp – oops thanks for pointing that out. global $bp; can be removed

@shanebp good point about using the bp_send_private_message_link approach. Although you would avoid double buttons by using a translation file.
