Disable user without erasing profile data

Hello,

I need to be able to disable users ocasionaly and re-enable them later on, but i’ve noticed that BuddyPress now erases all the profile data associated with a disabled user, except for his name and e-mail. This is actually a very cool upgrade for public buddypress sites that were getting severely spammed, so i’m happy this upgrade exists.

However for my particular case, its a private site and I really need to keep the user data intact when disabling.

Could anyone help me out with this?

Thank you,

C.

More and more people are using BuddyPress as a private community for co-workers etc… So when a co-worker leaves the organization and comes back a few months later, it would be nice to be able to re-instate their account without loosing everything they contributed to the platform.

I think I understand there is a new action, taking place right before the user is actually disabled, that clears all of the user data. I’m guessing the “unset” strategy might help here but i’m really at a loss when it comes to the actual syntax.

Please help me 🙂

@mistercyril, There is no such function by default, what you can do is hire a developer to create a plugin which does that for you.

@mistercyril, after a quick search, I found – https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-control/ you can have a look if you can use is for buddypress.

Note: I have not tested this plugin

@naijaping, thanks for your input but unfortunately it doesn’t work with BuddyPress…
So the problem still stands.
