BuddyPress.org

I use a WordPress theme I made to accomplish this. I’ve been asking on the forums if anyone wants me to release it for free but I’ve had no response/ interest from anyone yet. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/flat-portal-client-area-child-theme-of-twenty-thirteen/

It has all the functionality you want.

I made it so that only admin can see all…[Read more]

I made a video for the theme here: you tube flat portal WordPress theme.

The theme is now available as a digital download in my shop for $25.
Flat Portal WordPress Theme.

Thanks I have done-earlier today it occurred to me to do just that 🙂

My portal theme only lets admin / editor users view all members profiles or other users view other profiles if they are friends. If you want more info on how I did this let me know.

Thanks @shanebp 🙂

It basically works in this way- I have a header file with multiple headers for different page templates or conditions such as is_singular() or is_page.. e.g

if (is_front_page() || is_404() || is_page_template('public-subpages.php') || is_page_template('public.php') || is_page_template('public-full.php') ||…[Read more]

I think the Restrict Content plugin would do this.

Hi

Thanks @modemlooper I managed to figure it out after trying a few things and your conditional helped me deduce it.

if ( bp_is_current_component(‘activity’) && !bp_is_user_activity() ) {

worked for me.
(redirect if on main activity page but not own activity)

I just read the new Codex on child themes- so it should work with any theme- (answered my own question)

Thank you for putting up with another newbie guys 🙂

Best

Thanks for the feedback

I think I understand now- the profile page has activity on it so it’s not possible to do what that way, and it’s linked to the member page because that is showing profiles.

I could hide things from members with template overrides as you suggest- but I’m not sure if it will work with my theme being a child theme of Twenty…[Read more]

Hi @shanebp and @henrywright-1

Thanks for your help- I agree with Shanebp that his function does the same thing and is simpler, however I still have the same problem in that it stops access to the members PROFILE page.

I think this must be a problem with BuddyPress though- maybe it’s a bug?

Anyway thank you both for helping with the functions…[Read more]

Hi
Thanks for your help again
I tried your function
function bp_my_restrict() {
global $bp;
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

if ( ( $user->roles[0] != 'administrator' ) ) {
wp_redirect(…[Read more]

There is still a problem though in that if I do this it stops any member who is not an admin level user accessing their profile page. Not sure why it should affect that- tried with just the activity conditional and it stops profile page access as well.
elseif (bp_is_current_component( 'members' ) || bp_is_current_component( 'activity' ))…[Read more]

Thanks for your help Henry- I tried the is_page conditional but it does not work with the BuddyPress Pages.

So I tried bp_is_Page which worked, but was depecated.
Then I tried
bp_is_current_component( 'activity' ) || bp_is_current_component( 'members' )
and they work for what I want.

Thanks for your feedback it helped a lot 🙂
