Perhaps a simpler way, given that she wants to check for both admin and editor, is to test against a cap that both admin and editor have.

Something like: `function bp_my_restrict() {

if ( !current_user_can(‘edit_posts’) ) {

if ( bp_is_current_component(‘members’) || bp_is_current_component(‘activity’) ) {

bp_core_redirect( home_url() );

}
}
}
add_action(‘wp’,’bp_my_restrict’);`

Hi @mossyoak

I’ve run a few tests and made some slight changes to that code. Try this

function bp_my_restrict() {
   $user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id(); 
   $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
	
      

         if ( ( $user->roles[0] != 'administrator' ) ) {
		 
		 if ( bp_is_current_component('members') || bp_is_current_component('activity')  ) {
            wp_redirect( home_url() );
	    exit();
	 }
      }
}
add_action('wp','bp_my_restrict');

>Do you think that moving the templates to the main theme is wrong?

No, it’s what you should do when you want to customize templates.
I thought you did it solely as part of your attempt to get the new nav item working.

If you want, you can add new templates to that dir.
And call a template from your show_content function:

function show_content() { 
	locate_template( array( 'buddypress/members/single/my-trips.php' ), true );
}

Just read through your original question. The code snippet you’d want to add to your theme’s functions.php is something like this:

function bp_my_restrict() {
   global $bp;
   $user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id(); 
   $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
	
      if ( bp_is_current_component('members') || bp_is_current_component('activity') ) {

         if ( ( $user->roles[0] != 'administrator' ) ) {
            wp_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
	    exit();
	 }
      }
}
add_action('wp','bp_my_restrict');

Try this

<?php

   $user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id(); 
   $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
   
   if ( $user->roles[0] != 'administrator' ) {
     // your code
   }

?>

You could use the WordPress conditional is_page() to check if the user is on the activity or members page:

if ( is_page('members') || is_page('activity') ) {

} else {

}

Note: I’m assuming you haven’t changed the default slugs

It is easily done. You’d need to create a new page template:

You can then use a modified members loop inside the page template you create:

Members Loop

Your theme’s functions.php file wouldn’t get overwritten with each update. The changes you make to this file will be safe going forward.

A great place to hire a BuddyPress developer would be the BP Jobs Board:

BP Jobs Board

Please do not make duplicate topics that regards the same subject matter as it clutters the forum. @mercime and @modemlooper has already responded on the first topic here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/charge-a-fee-to-upload-media/
If their suggestions doesn’t work the only options you have is build this functionality yourself or hire a developer to do it for you. You may want to post on the jobs board:

Good luck!

I’m having the same issue.
Is there a solution yet ??

Thanks for the info. I will give it a try!

rtMedia is a huge, massive cluster of bugs. Awful. I have installed and uninstalled it at least 7 times in the last month, trying to give it just one more chance…. Every time I do, I discover a new bug.

Give BuddyDev’s Gallery plugin a shot. It’s premium ($30 for a 3-month “club” membership), but it’s got actual (if spotty) support – and without the attitude you get from rtMedia’s developers.

Also – and this is big for me – it includes the ability to embed media, rather than hosting. I really don’t want to be in the video hosting business at this point.

@bphelp,

Of course if your try the plugin in buddypress child theme other than the default will not work fine beceause the plugin use the default buddypress template !

the plugin work with all wordpress themes if the theme use legacy buddypress theme,
if it is child theme, in this case you must customize the plugin templates by modifying the template files. Just copy buddypress-wall\includes\templates\bp-default folder to your theme and edit the templates.

A lot of Buddypress plugins present a template and suggest a customisation if the theme is buddypress child themes.

@fungi-amoeba @nexus66
I tried the plugin but it didn’t seem to work on various themes. Also it seems some of the same functionality came from @brajesh ‘s post here:

Facebook Style Activity Commenting with BuddyPress

I would like to see this work though on all themes in the future.

Will give it try..

Which premium plugin did you find?

To make uploading an avatar a requirement you’d have to have an upload form on the registration page. This used to happen in BuddyPress. Some discussion on it in this thread:
