That’s great, thinking about it this should go in your bp-custom.php, then you won’t need to remember to transfer it if you ever change your theme. Or as a rather nifty way of managing code snippets you could use:
I’ve had a look at the code, there’s three area’s that need to be changed the only issue is how to get the user roles in the context of the functions that they are sitting in, I might look at this tomorrow if I have time, I’m not expert though, it just seems like a useful exercise for someone of my skill.
But you need to map out your requirements in more detail. For example what other roles would your subscribers be able to message? admin of course? any others?
I’m not aware of a plugin that will do that. There is one that does something similar, in that it restricts who can send messages to others. That’s BP Friends Only:
Pretty sure that would serve as a sound basis for what you need to do, If you are able to fork it and carry out the required editing. You could then implement some checks for role relationships instead of checks for friend relationships.
I think the problem with BP Profile Search lies in the “is like” criteria, it never finds stuff that is even one letter out, so you have to wonder why have that optiion?
I think you probably need to take it back to basics and try deactivating all your plugins and see if it works. If it’s still a problem try a default theme like 2017. Hopefully it’s a plugin conflict that you can easily identify.
No the comments are WordPress Territory, not BuddyPress, BuddyPress is extremely light in it’s handling of posts and comments and it does not have any moderation, WordPress handles that for comments.
One way I can think of to do this would be to create some JavaScript that disables the submit button and instead runs a check for links in the text entry field, I’m not sure this would be a trivial task.
You should change that password now I’ve had access.
I can see what the problem is, your Base Profile field looks to be corrupt. It’s duplicated and does not have the required Name field. I added this field to one of the profile fields and it still did not show up.
So basically your profile field settings are corrupt in your database. As I see it there are two ways forward:
1. Delete wordpress entirely including the Database and start again.
2. Try to recover your Database by manually editing it.
Given it’s a test site and you are not experienced I suggest option 1 is the best way forward.
It would be good to know exactly what happened to get this error, technically it should not happen.
This is not a feature of core BuddyPress. There’s a plugin (pretty old though) called BuddyPress Moderation however this allows the post to be flagged for moderation after it has been posted, as opposed to holding posts in a moderation queue.
You could check the Register page is set correctly in Dashboard>>Settings>>BuddyPress>>Pages. There should be a dropdown there to select the register page you wish to use. It should be set automatically though.
The minimum version you should use is 5.4 I would say, anything earlier and you will start seeing issues with wp in general. Shortly WP is going to start sending warnings to those sites. BP does support 7.2 and 7+ I would say should be recommended as it has numerous speed and security patches over previous versions.
If I were you I’ve deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress to see if you still have the issue. I’ve got a test site running 2015 and bp and here it works so it seems that it’s something specific to your site.
