BuddyPress.org

Never mind. Fixed it by going to the database and changed the Hide Sitewide value from 1 to 0 in all the activity posts.

Maybe @mercime can be of help? You’ve been grea with other issues…. Thank you!

I’ll check bp_get_current_signup_step(),

and putting the code on the registration page seems to be a simple and good idea,

Hi

Thanks @modemlooper I managed to figure it out after trying a few things and your conditional helped me deduce it.

if ( bp_is_current_component(‘activity’) && !bp_is_user_activity() ) {

worked for me.
(redirect if on main activity page but not own activity)

I did something similar,

I created a db table with the members’ names and numbers,

and a php form with to field to check the input data with the db table,
if it’s correct the user is redirected to the registration page,

but I was lookin for something to integrate between this page and the registration page, like a way to encrypt the link or deal with it as a registration step, you know what I mean? 🙂

Thanks for your contribution @Xevo

all users are already redirected to the login page if not logged in,

but I want to allow only the users with the correct name and membership number to access the registration page

Update: bbPress 2.4 does not fix the bug!

@henrywright-1, @shanebp

Thank you very much. The code worked nicely, removing both the button and the functionality.

rt.

I just read the new Codex on child themes- so it should work with any theme- (answered my own question)

Thank you for putting up with another newbie guys 🙂

Best

Bump.

Anyone?

Thanks for the feedback

I think I understand now- the profile page has activity on it so it’s not possible to do what that way, and it’s linked to the member page because that is showing profiles.

I could hide things from members with template overrides as you suggest- but I’m not sure if it will work with my theme being a child theme of Twenty Thirteen. If I put the BuddyPress override template files in my child theme will it work?

Thanks

Hi @shanebp and @henrywright-1

Thanks for your help- I agree with Shanebp that his function does the same thing and is simpler, however I still have the same problem in that it stops access to the members PROFILE page.

I think this must be a problem with BuddyPress though- maybe it’s a bug?

Anyway thank you both for helping with the functions I think it will be handy for other things until I sort that problem out.

Hi
Thanks for your help again
I tried your function

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');

But it gave a redirect loop error- I think it is because these conditionals are stopping the profile page being accessed for users lower than admin so trying to redirect to it is just looping.

I changed the redirect to the home page which stopped the constant loop- but users who are not admin can still not access the profile page- these conditionals are stopping that which is a bit odd.

// BuddyPress restrict activity and members page
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( home_url() ); exit;
}
}
}
add_action('wp','bp_my_restrict');

Thank you for your help.
