Hi shanebp!

Thank you for prompt reply and the resource. I tried the code as it is to see if it will disable the “friends” component for Subscribers. Unfortunately, nothing happened. In fact, the first time I tried it, I got the white screen of death. This was I believe due to the fact that I have chanced “friends” to “matches” using the language files. I popped in “matches” instead and this time I was live, but no change as far as component being disabled is concerned.

Instead of a component, what would I need to change in the code to remove the entire activity component from say, Subscribers. I’m actually going to be applying this so a custom role.

function buddydev_conditionally_disable_components( $enabled, $component ) {
 
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() )  {
        return $enabled; // we do not disable component for the logged in user
    }
 
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
 
    $roles = $user->roles ;
    // $role check for 'subscriber', 'contributor',  'author', 'editor', 'administrator'
 
    if ( 'friends' == $component && in_array( 'subscriber', $roles ) ) {
        //disable friends for subscribers
        $enabled = false;
    }
 
    return $enabled;
}
add_filter( 'bp_is_active', 'buddydev_conditionally_disable_components', 10, 2 );

Thanks for all your help!
