BuddyPress.org

i believe the blog posts are actually handled by wordpress (usually by re-assigning or deleting post by your choice). everything else besides private messages i believe get erased along with the user.

@ubernaut The problem is internal broken links – the activity stream might have items in it that aren’t removed that point to a user’s profile. Then there are manual links user’s have posted themselves – @-mentions in activity updates, in activity comments, in blog comments, in blog posts, and inside private messaging threads. The list is quite endless. To my knowledge, there’s no set way of dealing with these remains after an account has been deleted.

I opened a thread a few days ago in an attempt to perform some housekeeping after a user deletes their account. Didn’t get any responses so I put the idea on hold temporarily.

Hi @johnjamesjacoby

http://www.helpmemove.ca/wordpress/

That is the website I am developing. It is a WordPress single site. Basically I need admin to be able to see conversations between members in the activity stream or see the private messages between members.

Using the BP Activity Privacy plugin I can set the activity stream option to “admin only” as a member, but this stops the member I mention from seeing the message!

I need the admin to see conversation between a “member1” and “member2” whether it be via activity stream or private messages, but other members should not be able to see it.

Basically only admin, member1, member2 need to be able to see a conversation. Wondering if there is any way to do this!

Thanks,
Adam

Hi @meginfo,

I tried adding that to my functions.php but it doesn’t show the messages. I am also using activity stream privacy but here is my situation:

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to set the privacy level to allow mentions to be seen only by the people involved in the conversation and the admin.

For example, while testing the plug-in I set the privacy level to “admin only” and as the admin I sent a message to a subscriber level member.

However, the person gets a notification they were mentioned, but can’t see the message itself.

Is it possible there is a setting or way to have it so only the people mentioned and the admin see the message?

So if member1 mentions member2 I require both members AND the admin to be able to see that message, but no one else, whether it be from activity stream or private messages.

Thanks very much for your time and help,
Adam

I need this functionality on my website. How does admin see the private messages in BuddyPress?

Well there is nothing much to it.

If you understand what BuddyPress is, you know it needs to active a few components – you can decide what components you want to activate when you activate the BuddyPress plugin.

Let say if you don’t want private messages then don’t activate it. If you like your member to message each other you should activate.
Only if you activate components you need to create WordPress pages to show those components – simple right?
BuddyPress plugin helps you do that and creates those pages for you, you can save those default pages or change them to other pages.
Lets say you want your Groups not to show up on the example.com/groups/ page but at the example.com/community/ page then you can do so by just changing the name of that groups page.

Normally every WordPress theme should be able to handle the BuddyPress plugin just fine because BuddyPress uses the default WordPress templates to show all the BuddyPress pages.
But if you have an older WP theme or a very complicated WordPress theme you can get into some troubles of course.
There are some WordPress themes that are made for specific fields like photographers or portfolio websites those themes are often made just to target those fields of work and don’t need social media integrations.

It sounds like you’re heading in the direction of a private community. Keep in mind that if it’s private, then search engines can’t index your content. Which may be good or bad, depending on your goals.

You’ll find a lot of info by searching this support forum or the web for “buddyPress private community”

For instance:
https://buddypress.org/support/tag/private-community/

Only members of a private group can see the content

Hi BuddyPress support,

I am having exactly the same problem. My website is http://plantswap.com.au – buddypress 1.9 with WordPress 3.8 install.

All Private Messages sent twice.

I am not using any other chat or PM plugins.

Cheers,
Henry
