What are you using to create the form for submitting a review?
The review creation process should have a hook.

>would it work with BP’s fields

It should.
You can always hard code an ID to find out.

If you mean activity comments… $bp_location = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Location&user_id=' . bp_get_activity_comment_user_id() );
echo $bp_location;

If you mean post comments, I think you need to create a custom comment display.

Sometimes you want to echo the returned value.
Sometimes you just want the value.

Open the plugin file, find the text, replace the text

@henrywright-1
And how would you avoid double buttons due to this call in member-header.php?
do_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’ );

@tayenewm
Use the provided apply_filters: function tweak_button_label ( $args ) {
$args[link_text] = 'Something';
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button_args', 'tweak_button_label', 1, 1…

Don’t include the global if you aren’t going to use it.

Did you try switching to a theme like WP 2012?

Although that won’t explain why the same setup on a different domain works, still it would be a clue.

Use Dashboard > Users to see if their Role types are the same.

Maybe.
See: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/custom-members-directory-breaks-pagination/

You should be able to do a conditional based on the page slug, action or uri.
But the user query might fire before that check can be run.
Try a simple echo from a function on that hook, see where/when it appears.

You could manipulate the members loop (stuff into array & resort)
but that’s very inefficient unless you have less than 1000 users.…[Read more]

It would be best to filter this at the query level.

See do_action_ref_array( ‘bp_pre_user_query’, array( &$this ) );
In function prepare_user_ids_query()
In buddypressbp-corebp-core-classes.php

You could use Easy Digital Downloads or Woocommerce.
They both have premium extensions for front-end creation of ‘products’.

Both approaches will need customization to handle the credits.
There may be some extension available.

Or you’ll have write a full solution.

You’ll need to know the user_id for the teacher.

Then check the array for that id. If it’s found, remove it.

And tell the student why, something like:

bp_core_add_message( __( 'You cannot send a private message to the teacher.', 'buddypress' ), 'error' );

Do you know how to use filters?

Take a look at function send() in
buddypressbp-messagesbp-messages-classes.php

It has lots of filters.
I’d use the do_action_ref_array

@ishanna

There is a premium plugin that supports blocking on a per member basis:
BuddyBlock

Try these changes:
'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . '/',
'parent_slug' => $bp->profile->slug,

I’ve had great success using w3totalcache with most everything selected except page caching.

And I always use the memcached option – so you have to have memcache set up across all your servers.

Involves a lot of fiddling – but worth it for installs with tens of thousands of members.

> if I want to create a completely bespoke theme (not theme compat), how do I stop an instance of BP_Legacy being created and registering its actions?

Just guessing here, but perhaps by manipulating ‘register_theme_packages’ in bp-loader.php ?

If you get this working, any info / hints you can share would be appreciated.
