BuddyPress.org

I’d like to limit the ability of WordPress users with the “Subscriber” role to interact with the BuddyPress functionality of my website. Is there any way to remove permissions for posting activity updates, commenting on them, etc? Basically I want one set of members to be able to post activity stream updates, and the other set to just spectate with the ability to comment on the site’s blog posts, and not much else (like the regular subscriber role w/o buddypress access).

I know BP doesn’t really work the same way with roles/capabilities as wordpress… My only ideas off the top of my head are to nest the relevant BP template bits in tags that hide them based on role, but that seems… not pretty.

Thanks for any pointers!

Hello,

After clicking the activation link in the “Activate your account” email, you are taken to the activation key page, you then have to press the “Activate” button, then click log in, then sign in manually. Doesn’t seem like a good user experience to me.

Is it possible to have the user redirected to the home page and be automatically signed in after clicking the “Activate” button? Or better yet, do this right from the email link?

Many sites just take you to their site and have you auto signed in after clicking the activate link in the first email.

Is it possible to make these changes to Buddypress?

Thank you,

I actually thought this was a part of WordPress but I’ve been searching docs and googling and haven’t found anything specifically.

The site is for a physical membership site and only members in good standing will be allowed to register for an account and therefore able to use BuddyPress.

So the potential new user would fill out the registration form, submit, verify there email and wait for approval from the officers. The BuddyPress registration form will have an extra field to identify the member by their membership number.

The key is that only accounts that have been approved can see any of the BuddyPress features like member profiles, directory etc. non-logged in users shouldn’t see anything from BuddyPress except the login and registration pages.

I’m hoping this is easier than it looks so far.

Hello,

Our members are experiencing issues with our ‘Groups’ on our website. I’m not an expert on BuddyPress or WordPress, so I’m not sure where this issue is stemming from. The top of our ‘Ticket Exchange Group’ shows the following error. Also, new users can not even get access to the group, even though they are supposed to be added automatically. It will not allow us to add any members manually, either. Along with this, the members that can actually enter the group cannot get past the first page of postings, and are not receiving email notifications. Please help!

First, I’m not a developer.
I am attempting to add a private login to our existing WP site for use by staff and board members to access policy documents, etc.
BuddyPress was recommended. I’ve added the plugin and successfully added the login to our menu.
This is where I’m stuck.
Is there a way to set this up so that once a registered user logs in, he/she is directed to a private page on the WP site that shows links to the documents available to view?
