@ryanjhale,

wp roles and bp capacities are two diffrent things.
bp_moderate has a specific usage applied to the site admin only. If you read what is written in bp-core-caps.php, you’ll see this comment at line 200

 * Temporary implementation of 'bp_moderate' cap.
 *
 * In BuddyPress 1.6, the 'bp_moderate' cap was introduced. In order to
 * enforce that bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) always returns true for
 * Administrators, we must manually add the 'bp_moderate' cap to the list of
 * user caps for Admins.
 *
 * Note that this level of enforcement is only necessary in the case of
 * non-Multisite. This is because WordPress automatically assigns every
 * capability - and thus 'bp_moderate' - to Super Admins on a Multisite
 * installation. See {@link WP_User::has_cap()}.
 *
 * This implementation of 'bp_moderate' is temporary, until BuddyPress properly
 * matches caps to roles and stores them in the database. Plugin authors: Do
 * not use this function.

BuddyPress groups moderators are not authorized to enter the admin dashboard or the group admin on frontend. Group moderators can only delete, move and spam group activities or topics. If the group has a forum, they wil have the same capacities.

If you want a user to be able to access the admin dashboard, you can give him an editor role (which is a wp role).

If you want to allow him access to the group admin on the front-end, you promote him to group admin. This setting doesn’t allow that user to enter the site admin. He’s only a group admin (with a wp role of subscriber, by default) and not a site admin (admin or super-admin (MS) ).

@tomlandon_author,

@namrons – If you are using the older bp-default theme or a deriviative of the bp-default theme on your other sites, you’ll need to patch bp-default as well.

I’ve added the fix for the bp-default theme here:
https://github.com/buddypress/BP-Default/commit/4a06b494195c681252d27ded0c23ba8296322ec0

Are you already in a reflection stage or already confronted to “a problem” ?

If you have a template you can display content, with conditionnals.
Read here to see what it is on hand for template files:

Template Tag Reference

The patch has not much to do with wp.
Depending of the BP version you use on the old sites, you can use the fix !
Compare the buddypress-functions.php and if you find a line similar to the one alreadyfixed, you can try to use the patch.

Aside it could not work, there is nothing to loose to try!

Hi @lunaya,

activate debug mode in wp-config to get some internal information

Have you setup a page for groups ?
Have you changed the permalinks ?

Configure BuddyPress

A 404 error ? If you copy/paste a wrong url this can happen !

When you create a new page in wordpress, a permalink is automatically created under the title box.
You copy that whole permalink, including http, into the snippet
'link' => 'your permlink', do not remove the coma ! And be carefull when editing code. Use a text editor, not Word !

The snippet give you the possibility to add a page to a profile, and this page use his own template file, as also described.

Don’t copy/paste when you don’t know how to use it and how things are working.
For that you have the codex, where you can learn a bit on how BP is working.
Here about theming.

hi @aghajoon,
don’t jump into old post please !

Much more convenient, would be to use the buddypress notification manager plugin !

Works with 4.0 and bp 2.02

this code work for me but java script not work and when user favorite comment user can’t remove notification help me

@cartographer,
nobody forces the admin to read private messages, except, depending the country, some laws or other regulations. Any other reason to read is a personnal option.

And it is anyway possible by reading the message table in the db.

To disambiguate any further question around this, read the answer of @johnjamesjacoby
