Hi @glyndavidson,

Please read this ticket hoping this can help you to understand more about bp_moderate capability.

hi @scimea,

Regards.

I use a WordPress theme I made to accomplish this. I’ve been asking on the forums if anyone wants me to release it for free but I’ve had no response/ interest from anyone yet. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/flat-portal-client-area-child-theme-of-twenty-thirteen/

It has all the functionality you want.

I made it so that only admin can see all the users and only friends can see each others profiles if not admin.

I have created the buddypress sidebar in the themes settings.

@queertownabbey per layout of all your BuddyPress pages, the default page.php layout is full-width. Since we don’t have access to the premium theme, will refer you to examples of we’ve added sidebars to pages which are full-width by default at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/ specifically with the Twenty Eleven theme

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

Hey @jetlej.

On WordPress multisite, Super Administrators can edit/see/delete anything they want to. It’s their site, after all, so they are free to police it.

On WordPress single site, all Administrators have the same privileges as above.

We have been slowly rolling in the concept of moderator capabilities into BuddyPress for the past few years, though it’s not quite in a place yet where it’s been fully audited and integrated to be able to add/remove explicit permissions.

It’s not ideal for everyone, but it works well for most. Can you explain more about your setup and how this is an issue?

It does, as do many other robust theme frameworks that bypass WordPress’s template loader with their own. I’m conflicted on how much we can realistically support themes that deviate so far from the norm.

Previous to 1.9 we were purposely doing it wrong for the sake of maximum compatibility. In 1.9, we fixed up a few things, that now uncover pretty fatal flaws in several themes. I’m torn, but I think it’s up to theme authors to decide their level of plugin compatibility, rather than the other way around where theme authors would expect every plugin to adapt to their proprietary output system.

:/

you can look here (not an endorsement):

If you say you tried Twenty Fourteen and BuddyPress 1.9 is not working, then it’s possible there is a plugin conflict somewhere.

This is probably related to this ticket:

Can you list the plugins you are using that affect page content? Anything that tries to inject or modify the page content.

Appears to be a problem with your host. Use another plugin to determine the real IP.

Although it’s old, try this:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-ip/

You can also search Google ‘wordpress real ip’ to find other solutions involving wp-config.php.

Thesis probably has an unusual method for displaying page content. Atahualpa, another theme, suffers from the same issue.

Since Thesis is a paid theme, I do not have access to see how their templates are set up.

@craftersuniversity

I completely deleted the whole database and FTP server space, and re-installed WordPress and BuddyPress, and then the problem was gone.

That indicates it is either your database or your FTP server space that is causing the problem. You’ll need to determine where exactly the problem is coming from by a process of elimination.

The next step I’d take is to use a brand new database with your FTP server space. If the problem persists then you’ll know the problem lies with your FTP server space. If the problem resolves then you’ll know it is your database causing the problem.

My guess is that it’ll be your files and not your database where the problem lies.

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.

They’ve made it more easy to use over the years.

If you look at where BuddyPress was years ago and where they are right now it’s a huge step forward to WordPress like coding.
Will they ever become as easy as WordPress, no I don’t think so, simply because there are only a few people looking after the code of BuddyPress and bbPress.

WordPress has become so easy because they have thousands of great developers looking after the code on a daily base. Those people push each other to the max, for example you have one guy who’s really good at programming new stuff and another girl who’s very good at understanding how a function should work for ‘less experienced’ computer users. Both can connect very well at the Make.wordpress pages and share ideas that become great code and working products in the end.

BuddyPress and bbPress only have a handful of developers who for the love of coding and this plugin put their time and knowledge into this. #respect!
I think they’re doing a great job and yes I also wished it would go faster 🙂
But hey, who am I to say anything, I don’t know anything and have tried to learn PHP a few times so I wish I could contribute more to those products but I failed to understand.

I do have to say if you know HTML + CSS you can do some stuff in altering the layouts which is great in my opinion.

Next up:
Some people are also living on the wrong foot, because they started with WordPress and it’s so easy to use they think WordPress has become some kinda magic power tool that can let everybody do anything online.
Wrong, it’s easy to use and you can do a lot because of all the free tutorials and code online but there are limits.

Some people have zero understanding of coding and want to become the next Facebook – that’s not gonna happen how easy the code ever will be.

hi @jnkfrancis1978mx,

I think Bowe Codes plugin can help you:
