Apparently a 12.6.1 bugfix release is out now that fixes the issue so you should be safe upgrading to the latest now.

Also I meant reporting to Yoast, not BuddyPress, above!

This issue is caused by Yoast SEO update. Either disable Yoast SEO or downgrade it to v12.5.1 and the site should work again.

I have reported this issue to buddypress on the Yoast WordPress support forum.

Thanks for the reply, I actually found that the following worked, very similar solution to yours:

remove_filter( 'bbp_make_clickable', 'bbp_make_mentions_clickable', 8 );

anyone?

I’m still trying to find a solution for this, can anyone help?

Now running buddypress 4.4.0.

Ah yes, messaging is not active on the site. That fixed it anyway – looks to work perfectly at the back end. Pretty much all of the front-end BP functionality is disabled so I can’t test that. Thank you!

Still get the same error I’m afraid. Can see that it points to /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bp-devolved-authority-settings now. I couldn’t see any link directly from the settings menu.

Single site, although it is a heavily customised BP install with some legacy code that I’m yet to fully un-pick. That said there’s nothing that I’ve seen that should affect permissions.

I just checked the administrator role, which does have every cap granted.

Settings pages for all other plugins on the site work fine.

@venutius, wow – you really have been busy!

I get a ‘not allowed to access this page’ error when I try to visit the plugin settings at

/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-devolved-authority-settings

Logged in as administrator.

Thanks, that’s super helpful – some very useful stuff in that article.

Thanks for your help anyway. Sounds like the ‘edit_users’ fix is straight-forward enough so hopefully that will mean it appears a not-too-distant release.

Any finer-grained control over capabilities that avoids having to grant manage_options is a plus in my book. Helps a lot in locking down site security.

Thanks, will keep an eye on the tickets and hope the changes come in a future release.

Just trying to lock the site down a bit more so that we have fewer users with the more powerful priviledges.

Great, many thanks!

Thanks for you help with this @venutius, appreciated 🙂

I’m guessing there’s not much more that can be done for now.

I tried both of those (editing the typo in core file & add_cap) but neither worked unfortunately.

On checking through Members I can see that the Editor role has been granted bp_moderate, which leads me to think that this role alone is not sufficient to grant access to the extended profile page.

Do you think I should raise this as a ticket? I’m…[Read more]

That didn’t work either I’m afraid. Opening the extended profile returns “You cannot edit the requested user.”

Is there a way of granting just bp_moderate, without manage_options? I couldn’t see that listed as a cap (as viewed through the ‘Members’ plugin).

Yeah, that doesn’t give access to the extended profile unfortunately, only the ‘standard’ profile, or whatever you call it.
