BuddyPress.org

@obsidianmarketing 2 WP instances or 1 Multisite installation == it all depends on what kind of website you are running.

Example 1: I have 2 WP instances for an organization where the main site, http://www.example.com deals mostly with organization blog/news plus around 700 pages of general information. The subsite community.example.com is the private BP site on a second database.
Example 2: For another installation, it’s multisite and the information generated in the main site is from the user blogs.

== Since I already have WP installed on my sub-domain do I need to uninstall it on the sub-domain first? If so does that just mean that I will delete the folder that was created with the name of the sub-domain in the public_html folder? ==

Before you make any major changes to your installation, backup DB and server folders. If you believe that your organization will be better served with a multisite installation, then deactivate BuddyPress and create a network (make multisite) on example.com. Then you might want to import DB of subsite into DB of main site if you already have added a lot of information. In certain cases, you only need to import the XML export from your WP install in subsite.example.com

For more assistance should you go the multisite route, please go to https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Not possible out of the box. You’d have to write the functionality yourself, or hire someone to figure it out for you.

Reset his account password, log in with his account, go to private messages, and find/delete the one in question. It’s safer than fiddling in the database

Please share if you have achieved this.

See bp_has_message_threads() for type param. It defaults to ‘all’.

You don’t need to dirty hardcode anything – you just need (maybe) to write a custom query and call it from a theme file.
read/unread is stored in wp_bp_messages_recipients

Good luck

Did you look at the codex?
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-private-messages-loop-bp_has_message_threads/

Try this to start your loop
`

`

I’m not sure if ‘type=unread’ is valid.

bp_message_thread_has_unread() returns true or false
So you can use it in your loop to decide whether to proceed.

or [ php ] the code [ /php ]

Do you have plugins other than BuddyPress installed? If so then try disabling each one until you find the offender.

Simpler way is to install wordpress access control, this adds a option to every page to make it avalible to be viewable by only vistitors, logged in users and even has a age control on it, you can all set a redirect page incase somone types in the url as this will also remove any page which is hidden from the viewer type from the menu, check it out its awesome

Try my plugin here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-friendpress/ see this is what your after. After installation, and activation go to dashboard/settings/ bp friendpress and change the setting to current user / friends activity. Just be aware it also make buddypress specific pages private so only members can view them. make sure to read the readme.txt regarding group forums or sitewide forums and make changes appropriately. If you do not want the buddypress specific pages private you can go in the bp-friendpress.php file and comment out the part that says “The walled garden.” Hope this helps!
