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

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.

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

Now running buddypress 4.4.0.

add_filter( 'bbp_find_mentions', '__return_false' );

and

add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );

but it’s not working. Has this changed in v2.6?

Running bbPress v2.6-rc-7 and buddypress 4.3.0

I want to turn it off as it’s not required by the site, but mainly that it breaks…[Read more]

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!

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.

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

Helps a lot in locking down site security.

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

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

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]

Opening the extended profile returns “You cannot edit the requested user.”

I couldn’t see that listed as a cap (as viewed through the ‘Members’ plugin).

The only way I can see to do this is with the manage_options cap, which obviously is not the sort of cap you want to give to an editor.

Is there a way of just giving access to edit extended profiles without using the manage_options cap?
