BuddyPress.org

Hi moefahmy
Can you please provide me the way to hide what’s new textbox if not an admin.
I need to restrict users other than admin to post update.

Here is a profile redirect script:

function bpfr_hide_admins_profile() {
global $bp;
if(bp_is_profile && $bp->displayed_user->id == 1 && $bp->loggedin_user->id != 1) :
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit;
endif;
}
add_action( 'wp', 'bpfr_hide_admins_profile', 1 );

This one redirects for user_id == 1, you could replace this with a function that checks the profile completeness.

1. To hide admin bar to non-logged in user, you can use a plugin name Remove Dashboard Access.

2. There is no direct method to make BuddyPress profile page full-width. You can achieve this by editing Buddypress templates. To do this
Create a child theme
Put Buddypress folder in your child theme and edit the profile template. To do we should understand the templating system of Buddypress. Here is a tutorial for that.

3. You can use a plugin by Buddydev which lets you write posts from front end and add blog tab under user’s profile menu.

Hope this help you.

Just a follow up. I got the method from this link to work and it hides the “whats new” form from non-admins on the group page.

However, now I notice that users still get the group in their “Post in:” list on their personal activity page and can circumvent. So, trying to figure this part out next.

Anyone know how to restrict that dropdown?

There’s a number of plugins that will allow you to remove the wp-admin top bar, just search the plugin directory.

Hide Admin Bar

Yep that’s the WordPress Admin Bar. The only BP setting that affects this is that you can hide the entire bar for non logged in users via Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options.

As I said there’s a lot of plugins that will help you style this bar, just search WP Plugins for admin bar and you will find them.

Update – the following works:

function venutius_hide_tab() {
	if ( !is_super_admin() ) {
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'settings', 'general' ); 
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'venutius_hide_tab', 15 );

However it causes a page not found error when you click on Settings, this is due to the removed nav item being the default tab for the settings link. I’m currently trying to find the right code to reset this default.

So you could add something like the following to your functions or bp-custom.php:

function venutius_hide_tab() {
	if ( !is_super_admin() && !bp_is_my_profile() ) {
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'settings', 'general' ); 
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'venutius_hide_tab', 15 );

What plugin did you use to add the option to only display a menu item to logged in users? Seems like that is what is not functioning. hiding the activity link by hiding the menu item does not hide the activity page from non logged in users, if they know the url they will still be able to view it, to prevent that you should explore the security options available to you. There a number of privacy plugins for bp with a range of features, is it only the Activity page you want to hide?

BuddyPress uses the default WordPress login page, there’s a number of customisers for this, for example: https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-custom-login/

You could use the overload method.
imo, using hooks is easier.

For example, to hide admin users from the members loop, you could put this into bp-custom.php… untested…

function grw_members_loop_ghosts( $retval ) {

    if ( bp_is_members_directory() ) {

        $admins = get_users( array(
				'fields' => 'ID',
				'role'   => 'administrator',
			      ));
        
        $admins = implode(',', $admins );

        $retval['exclude'] = $admins;
    }

    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_has_members_parse_args', 'grw_members_loop_ghosts' );

this code works perfectly to block the admin

// deny access to admins profile. User is redirected to the homepage
function bpfr_hide_admins_profile() {
global $bp;
if(bp_is_profile && $bp->displayed_user->id == 1 && $bp->loggedin_user->id != 1) :
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit;
endif;
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bpfr_hide_admins_profile’, 1 );

can’t we just change

if(bp_is_profile && $bp->displayed_user->id == 1 && $bp->loggedin_user->id != 1) :
wp_redirect( home_url() );

and make it subscribers in stead of id and loggedin d?

Just to be sure of what your asking, Are you trying to hide these from everyone including the person who owns the profile?

Just in case you dont want to hide them from the profile owner, you should know that any links that are edit, upload rtmedia links only display for the profile owner and no one else and most other things like this are hidden by default from users and friends anyways. Only a profile owner can upload and make changes to his profile or post activity on their profiles.

Also, each member has privacy options in their profile settings. You can set defaults in the dashboard for this as well.

If this is not the case, could you clarify what you hope to achieve?

If you simply wish to remove links for everyone in your site including the profile owner, just use something like this in bp-custom.php file

Hi moefahmy,

That’s actually a clever solution to address this issue. The difference with me is that my customer needs a few specific groups to be restricted to only let himself post in it. But since only administrators like my customer needs to post I can target only the administrator role to view the post-an-update form, and hide them for every other user role. I can code something to make this only happen on the groups I want it to.

Thanks for activating the bulb inside my brain haha, I really appreciate this solution. Well done!!
