Limit activity in groups to admin/mods only

    Hello everyone! 🙂

    I have a few groups where I would like for only admin/mods to be able to post new activity into groups. Users should be able to join the groups, but I don’t like them to be able to post in certain groups. I tried the following code I found, but didn’t work:

    add_action( 'wp_footer', 'restrict_activity_to_admin' );

function restrict_activity_to_admin() {

global $bp;

if( $bp->groups->current_group->id == 46 ){

if( ! is_super_admin() ) {

?>

<style>

.bpfb_form_container{display: none;}

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

jQuery(function() {

$('.bpfb_form_container').remove();

});

</script>

<?php

}

}

}

    Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? 🙂

    Thank you!

    Found plugin that does the job:

    BP Fan Page

    Unfortunately this plugin breaks the “groups” settings from backend and comes up with a critical error, so if anyone has a solution, please let me know. 🙂

    Found the solution with the following code:

    Restrict in single group

    function restrict_activity_posting_for_specific_group( $can_post, $user_id, $group_id ) {
    // The ID of the group you want to restrict posting in (replace with the actual group ID)
    $restricted_group_id = 123;  // Example group ID

    // Only apply the restriction to the specific group
    if ( $group_id == $restricted_group_id ) {
        // Check if the user is an admin or moderator
        if ( !bp_group_is_admin( $user_id, $group_id ) && !bp_group_is_mod( $user_id, $group_id ) ) {
            return false;  // Don't allow posting
        }
    }

    // If not the restricted group, or the user is admin/mod, allow posting
    return $can_post;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_can_post', 'restrict_activity_posting_for_specific_group', 10, 3 );

    Restrict in multiple groups

    function restrict_activity_posting_for_specific_groups( $can_post, $user_id, $group_id ) {
    // The IDs of the groups you want to restrict posting in (replace with actual group IDs)
    $restricted_group_ids = array( 123, 456, 789 );  // Example group IDs

    // Check if the group ID is in the restricted group IDs array
    if ( in_array( $group_id, $restricted_group_ids ) ) {
        // Only apply the restriction if the user is not an admin or moderator
        if ( !bp_group_is_admin( $user_id, $group_id ) && !bp_group_is_mod( $user_id, $group_id ) ) {
            return false;  // Don't allow posting
        }
    }

    // If not in the restricted groups or the user is an admin/mod, allow posting
    return $can_post;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_can_post', 'restrict_activity_posting_for_specific_groups', 10, 3 );
