Is WordPress or the plugin sending the email?

Are you sure bp_core_add_message() is being executed?

Hi @snookerist

Can you report this issue on Trac?

A 403 response usually indicates the resource you requested is forbidden. Something like this could happen for various reasons. The first place to start is your .htaccess file; check there’s nothing crazy going on inside that. A basic WP .htaccess file with no customisation should look like this:

# BEGIN WordPress

An error occurred. Please try again later.

This is a pretty generic error message. Do you have anything in your error logs?

Do messages send with Wordfence disabled?

Try this:

add_action( 'user_register', function( $user_id ) {
$admin_id = 1;
$friendship_status = BP_Friends_Friendship::check_is_friend( $user_id, $admin_id );
if ( 'not_friends' === $friendship_status ) {
if ( ! friends_add_friend( $user_id, $admin_id ) ) {
// There was a problem submitting the friend request. Do…[Read more]

Being a premium theme the best thing to do is contact their support team. Unfortunately, because the SocialChef theme’s code is private there’s not much we can do here to help.

In that case there’s a few options. You could try to find a plugin. If a plugin isn’t available you could suggest the feature. Alternatively you could hire a developer.

Hope this helps!

Have you changed theme over the past week or installed new plugins?

Just disallowing file uploads probably won’t work because BuddyMedia is likely to have extra functionality that needs to be disabled (such as albums)

Try asking this same question on their support forum:

user can still create an album

You didn’t mention albums! Are you using a plugin?

I’ve used the Ban Hammer plugin successfully for this in the past.

You can filter using bp_after_has_members_parse_args. Take a look here for examples:

Can you show us the full path you have to your child theme’s member-header.php file?

It should be your-theme/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

I’m wondering if the remove_cap() method is what you need. Try adding this to functions.php. Feel free to remove it after you’ve visited the front end of your site, it just needs to be run once.

add_action( 'init', function() {
$role = get_role( 'subscriber' );
$role->remove_cap( 'upload_files' );
} );

You can do the same with the…[Read more]

These are fantastic, Slava, keep them coming!
