BuddyPress.org

Ohhh, GOT IT!!

looks like this code is exactly what is needed….i pasted it into a custom plugin and wa-la…credit goes to the fabulous @prashantvatsh! he replied in the support forum on his plugin (the ‘BP Custom Functionalities’ plugin)…like super quick, with the correct solution to me needing to restrict access to a user’s OWN profile. brilliant!

here’s that support thread:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restrict-access-to-users-own-profile/

and here’s the code from prashant that i wound up putting into a custom plugin file and uploading to my site:

add_action( 'wp', 'bp_own_profile_member_redirect' );
function bp_own_profile_member_redirect(){
	if(bp_is_user()){
	    global $bp;
	    $current_user_id = (int) trim($bp->loggedin_user->id);
	    $member_id  = (int) trim($bp->displayed_user->id);
	    if (!current_user_can('manage_options') && $current_user_id == $member_id)
	    {
                //Only admins can view their own profile
	        wp_redirect(site_url()); //you can set any URL here
	        exit;
	    }
	}
}

thanks again for all your help, @venutius — your help was fundamental to me figuring out the next steps (how the BuddyPress avatars exist and how to get those avatars to show what i wanted without messing with bbPress code)…i am truly grateful for all your assistance!

@venutius oh thanks for the suggestions, appreciate the plugin links…but they don’t accomplish what i need to do

i need specific avatars for classes of users, ones that correspond to the styling and hierarchy of my site

so identicons being ‘fun’…? sadly i don’t need fun, lol….i need a streamlined business look and fun with random identicons won’t work

and creating local gravatar avatars for users that ‘don’t have one’ is also random — not corresponding with my site; if i wanted to have default gravatar avatars populate i’d just choose the options that come with WordPress by default — that already is an option

and gravatar is incredibly cumbersome with its pinging to the servers where the gravatars are stored….it may seem minor to many, but it does burden a site

plus, gravatars have weak coding that allow the email address of the user to be ‘scraped’ by bots

so to protect my users from future spam and to keep my site as speedy as possible AND to have my site avatars correspond to the styling of my site i need gravatars to never ever ever be used, and nothing random either

This was already including my childtheme & custom functions.php.
Literally everything slightly related to wordpress was checked.

Best regards,

Anyone have an update on this? I’ve resorted to changing the active components manually since I can’t get them to keep their state when I login to WordPress after

I have all plugins except for BuddyPress disabled and also have switched out to a basic WordPress theme again but still am not getting any sort of confirmation messages/notices when I save a new password change. I’ve checked in my BuddyPress files as well (am running the Nouveau template but have tried switching between that and Legacy to see if it would fix anything) and both have the proper code you specified in it, but nothing’s showing up.

I have tried changing a test account’s password. I changed to a basic WordPress theme and it didn’t have that message at all. Any idea where that’s located?

Hi !

Prashant,

Thanks again.

Sorry for delay in reply because I want experiments on your above article.

I read the whole third part of your above link. But it’s for making a plugin. I tried direct the changes to a demo wordpress installation php files but it’s not works for me. I mashed up because I haven’t core developer.

Can any other things or plugin solve my problem ?

I found on net about the same problem’s solution. I got the plugin pie for the same.

In this plugin I am able to add forgot password page template. Just go to pie register-> Notification -> Select tab User notification-> select template from dropdown “Password reset request”.

But after user fill password reset form when they click …
1) User got a link with token. I don’t want this ? I send just only token without link like otp.
2) After clicking user must redirect to page where they can paste the key which they received.
3) After pasting the key I have two options…
A) Either user redirect to create a new password and confirm password page.
B) OR user got a new password via mail which auto generated by site to their registered mail id.

Thanks and Regards

OK, it looks like I was wrong. If “manage_network_users” is enabled, the administrator can edit the WordPress user profile but NOT the BuddyPress extended profile. So, the question is: how can this be enabled in BuddyPress?

According to this link, it seems like this is part of WordPress core. Surely there must be some way to enable user management by admin without making them a super admin.
