Have you tried the WP members only plugin?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/

This will restrict your whole website also to members only.
If you want to just restrict one part of the website, I can help you build a simple function to do this.

What does the link look like
http://www.example.com/groups/blah blah blah ??
Is that what you are trying to block non mebers access to?

If you’re using BP 2.2 +, you should use this approach instead:

Post Types Activities

My cpts appear.
However, comments on them do not appear in the activity stream.

Perhaps because I didn’t create a component for those cpts – I hope that is not the case.
Hopefully this ticket will provide an answer.

Hi @gidantrip

Please see 6107

This might help you, dont know myself but looks like it is adjustable to do what you need.

Xprofile search

Thanks for the info, I am actually new to WordPress and have not looked through all the functions. I have only built custom queries on custom tables on my own website that I am currently developing.
I have tried wordpress in the past but then switched to other platforms as they was more adequate for my goals.

But right now I am sticking with wordpress and building a new website :),
I’m more use to sources and templates, scripting from scratch.

Out of curiosity, which one is better on performance? A straight up query OR the function above.
If there is security concerns with using a query, apart from sanitisation which I know and use on every custom table, then that info would be good to know also.

Thanks.

Edit, I would like to report a bug in your software, even though you posted this reply I got a notification for a reply in the first topic I made. I had no idea you replied to this other than looking through the latest list of topics.

^+1 wow, i totally need this too… DESPERATELY.

if i had realized just how difficult this was going to be to accomplish,i never would have started this project with buddypress. what is the point of xprofile fields if they are not easily searchable?

there are so many GREAT things about buddypress, it’s super frustrating that this thing which seems to straightforward is so challenging.

i have been searching … the “buddypress profile search” plugin is not the answer… it isn’t user friendly enough. I just want one search box – “find a teacher in your city” that will search 4 xprofile fields of all our teachers… ONLY THOSE FOUR FIELDS… and return the results.

i’ve tried a google site-search tool, too…
the trouble is that our teachers have bios, and in those bios they often include cities where they have trained, or toured, and we do NOT want those included in the “Find a teacher” results.

i have Base City, and 3 “additional teaching locations” fields… those, and NAME, are the ONLY fields i want searchable.

i can pay for help.
but i figured this would be something simple i could do myself!

Hi,

The pro version of this plugin works with BuddyPress:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/sp-client-document-manager/

Hi,

The button is in /bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/index.php:19

Make a copy of that file to your child-theme. (child-theme/buddypress/groups/index.php)

Than you can remove the code or add a condition. For example, only the site admin will see All Groups.

<?php if ( is_site_admin() ): ?>
   <li class="selected" id="groups-all"><a href="<?php bp_groups_directory_permalink(); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'All Groups <span>%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_total_group_count() ); ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

WP provides a function for getting users. No need for custom sql.

@xidea
Have you tried
bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&type=newest' )

Members Loop

Hi @landwire

This isn’t possible right now, but it’s a great idea. You should open a feature request on Trac to see what the core developers think.

Hi @joenyland

You will need to use validation. Validation is a way of checking what information is received from the user before it’s saved to the database. This can be achieved via a filter such as bp_signup_validate.

For more info on filter hooks in WordPress and BuddyPress, check out this article:

@ayushpratap,

try this:

Allow activity authors to delete activity comments by other users on your BuddyPress based social network

@danbp True indeed, but with my previous setup with BuddyPress 1.9.2 I was able to control the spam registrations since they were never activated (I used BuddyPress Pending Activations to manually activate new users) and therefore they could never log in. They were not seen in the activity stream either.

This is my setup: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/create-private-membership-site-with-buddypress/

I’ve now upgraded s2Member which had no effect, and also deactivated the BuddyPress Automatic Friends plugin which didn’t have any effect either. The new user shows up as pending in the Users screen for about 1 minute after registration, but is then automatically activated.

Spam is an endless plague… and there is no radical solution, but only a set of combination for minimizing it, or at least to slow down that phenomenon..

For example, changing the default wp_ table prefix is a good practice which i would recommand to any site owner touched (or not yet) by spammers.

Even if you already use another prefix, but spammers found your site, you have to modify it again. Sounds a bit stupid, but the gain will be effective for a while.

Other tips are avaible on WP Codex.

In some case, you would prefer to use a plugin. See BuddyPress Registration Option.

But in any case, you have to found your own combination.

Hi,

searching the forum before asking is sometimes more efficient. 😉

Hi!

I recently upgraded my site with a new theme (BuddyBoss Boss. theme) and am running WP 4.1.1 and upgraded from BuddyPress 1.9.2 to 2.2.1.

I have a setup where I redirect the activation e-mail to the site admin to be able to manually control new members and verify their information before activating them and letting them log in. This is a cruical function for my site since it’s a private network.

After the upgrade I noticed that some spam users were automatically activated and able to log in without my manual activation. The users are automatically activated, the same issue as @RussAdams is experiencing. I’ve tried deactivating a few plugins (BuddyPress Pending Activations, BuddyPress Auto Group Join) but this issue persists. In BuddyPress 1.9.2, everything was working as expected.

Browser sessions doesn’t seem to be the issue since clearly people on other computers have been able to create accounts which were automatically activated as well.

This is a very serious issue for my site since I no longer have the control over new users and spam users can log in after activating. Did you get this sorted out?

@ratethetrainers Go to wp-admin menu Settings > BuddyPress > Settings and uncheck “Toolbar – Show the toolbar for logged out users”

Hi @aljo1985

@saish_neugi the Plugin Private Buddypress works well also. It isn’t being updated anymore, but I’ve tested it and still works without errors.
