BuddyPress.org

Hi @djpaul
Sorry, I forgot to mention this is not a multisite install. Just a single site, so no network to worry about. I’m tempted to download the old version 2.3 of bbPress and test that out tonight / tomorrow morning.

An aside – it may or may not be relevant to tweaking your plugin

I had previously experimented with other plugins

pagerestrict at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pagerestrict/ is effective BUT has no effect on /forums/ !!!!!

while

path access at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/path-access/ is effective but just goes to a page not found -it lacks the elegant redirect!!

1. Which version of WordPress are you running? latest

2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install? directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? root

4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version? been upgrading to latest

5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. wordpress works fine

6. Which version of BP are you running? latest

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? been upgrading to latest

Line 1455

14. Which company provides your hosting? godaddy

15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? lamp

Without removal of comments (as per readme file ) —– no change for either of my pages 1) /forum-topics/ and 2) /forums/forum/group-forums/

When comments removed /forums/forum/group-forums/ is now protected and redirected (great! )

but the page /forum-topics/ (a page with [bbp-topic-index] in it ) is still available tonon-logged in users but all links on the page lead to the redirect (great! )

and

while the page /forums/ is also available to non-logged in users all links on the page lead to the redirect (great! )

so, while its not 110% lock-down essentially, as far as I am concerned, you have done it. Thanks!

ditto for https://github.com/bphelp/private_community_for_bp by @bphelp

@chouf1 Thanks for your support!

So an update. When I set the affected User to ‘Subscriber’, they appear in the BuddyPress ‘Members’ widget with a ‘last_activity’ value appearing in the dbase (wp_usermeta table). However, changing them (back) to ‘Administrator’ they drop off the radar again.

We have 2 others with Admin role who are not affected in the same way.

So, anyone-else experienced anything like this?

Oh and @chouf1: WP3.5.1, BP 1.7.1, bbPress 2.3.1, BuddyPress Group-O-Matic Pro, 1.0.3 – 39 plugins in total, I’m not listing them all here.

I spent a few hours creating a development version and testing, but I still can’t get it to hide private discussions from the activity stream.

Here is what I tried so far:
– Deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress, to see whether it is a conflicting plugin issue
– Reverted back to default BuddyPress theme
– Set the group to public, then back to private again

The only strange thing I’ve found so far is when I go into the database. Inside the bp_activity table, the discussions from private groups all have “hide_sitewide” = 0. If I set hide_sitewide for these discussions to 1, the topic no longer appears in activity stream. But where does hide_sitewide originally get set?

Thanks Hugo, I tested it with all plugins deactivated except for BuddyPress and bbPress, and the problem persists. I’ll need to test it with the default theme as well, and possibly revert back to BuddyPress 1.6 to see if it still happens.

The only change I made recently was update to BuddyPress 1.7 and change from sitewide forums to group forms.

I’ll have another test and see what I can find. Thanks for putting me on the right path

thanks for the reply @chouf1!

this error is a virgin, last default wordpress/buddypress/bbpress installation there.

go through with the description, thank you.

No – there’s no forum, but i’m using bbpress (which it recommended)

loads of 404s – I have no forum option so installed bbpress (currently deactivated)
I’m not sure what’s meant to be in there – but it looks like I have bits missing !

@mercime

Not sure what you mean. First of all, you wouldn’t have been able to select Group Forums page as the parent for all group forums if you didn’t create the page.

No, no… not ‘group-forums’ as a page. I have forum (type: category) named ‘group-forums’ and it is pointed to be the parental forum for all my group forums. I have a page with the same slug but I don’t know for what to use it. Think it is even meaningless…

The good news is that I resolved the problem with the installation of my group forums. It seems that my settings were good ones, but simply they didn’t work… I just did deactivate bbPress plugin and delete it. Then I did upload and install again and everything is just fine at now. I already have my forums in my groups. But this is a bit of strange, because I didn’t set anything new. It worked by itself. 😀

@aces : Thank you for your help but it don’t work. I recevied fatal error message

@hnla : i am sorry, buddypress 1.7 wordpress 3.5.1 bbpress 2.3.1 Browser : Chrome last version.

thank you
