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!

[John]

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.

[John]

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 );

[John]

anyone?

[John]

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

Now running buddypress 4.4.0.

[John]

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!

[John]

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.

[John]

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.

I could only find the settings link on the plugins page, it doesn’t appear elsewhere does it?

[John]

@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.

[John]

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

[John]

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.

[John]

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.

[John]

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.

[John]

Great, many thanks!

[John]

Thanks for you help with this @venutius, appreciated 🙂

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

[John]

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 not sure if it would be considered a bug or ‘feature’.

[John]

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

[John]

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).

[John]

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

[John]

Hi Prashant,

That didn’t quite work but it did get me thinking along the right lines and I’ve come up with a solution:

add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'add_edit_member_menu' );

function add_edit_member_menu() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;
	$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
	if ( ! empty( $user_id ) ) {
		$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( 'user-admin' );
		$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
			'id'    => 'edit-member',
			'title' => 'Edit Member',
			'href'  => admin_url( 'user-edit.php?user_id=' . $user_id ),
			'meta'  => array(
				'title' => __( 'Edit Member' ),
			),
		) );
	}
}

[John]

Ah, I had it in functions.php just moved it into bp-custom.php and it worked!

Still getting used to remembering to put buddypress stuff in bp-custom.php rather than functions.php.

Thanks 🙂

John

[John]

Thanks for the reply Brajesh.

Unfortunately that didn’t work. It’s pretty much what I had already tried, except with a differing priority.

Seems that CSS does not want to dequeue!

[John]

ok, will do. Just thought it might be a common issue experienced in the wider BP community.

[John]

Yes, the site I’m working on has loads of legacy code and is on 2.9.4. I have the fear over upgrading to 3.2.0!

Thanks for the answer, worked perfectly. Starting to get to grips with the BP template structure now. 🙂

cheers
John

[John]

It is possible that a 3rd party plugin is doing that – there’s certainly a lot on the site!

Now if only I could work out which one and make proper use of it that would be great…
