Yeah, I don’t even need to look, and I already know what’s happening.
The problem is that you’re catching the form submit too late – the page has already started loading, and your settings have already been cached by WP. You can work around it by doing a bp_core_redirect() after you have run your save routine – that is, save the submitted settings, and instead of letting the page load, bp_core_redirect() back to your settings page.
It’s weird, I have something similar for a twitter plugin but it’s using a template file instead of plugins.php and this doesn’t happen.
Hm. I’d have to see the code to see why it’s causing a problem. I don’t see why using plugins.php would make a difference, unless you’re catching the $_POST submit inside of the bp_template_content function.
I’m going re do same code using a template file and see if problem solves but it would be better to use plugins.php
code: http://pastebin.com/fxAt7gNq
No, don’t use a template file. plugins.php is not the issue.
Move your `if ( isset( $_POST ))` stuff up into `bp_privacy_screen_settings_menu()`. Then change it to
`if ( isset( $_POST ) {
if (isset($_POST)) {
update_user_meta($bp->loggedin_user->id, ‘bp-profile-privacy’, ‘1’);
} else {
update_user_meta($bp->loggedin_user->id, ‘bp-profile-privacy’, ‘0’);
}
bp_core_add_message( ‘Settings updated!’ );
bp_core_redirect( bp_displayed_user_domain() . $bp->settings->slug . ‘/privacy’ );
}`
Ok, working 
the arrangement of code was key. I had tried your suggestion before and did not work because I had the isset checks after the bp_core_load_template.
Hi chaps, can this plugin work out of the box yet, this code edit to get it to work is giving me grief 
should I de-activate it and wait for an update?
It works you have to edit code no way around that
The code to edit the default profile.php is in the plugin right?
so If I’m having trouble copying the plugins profile.php to bp-defaults members/single/
I basically copy the plugins code and paste it into the existing profile.php file then?
I tried doing this and it overlapped the existing code so didn’t wanna screw things up
Am I doing something wrong?
I just updated plugin and the code edit required has changed. you need to edit home.php instead of profile.php.
cpanel blows for editing files you need to use an FTP program.
oh right, I already have a home.php in my child theme!
it’s currently using an edit to restrict non logged in members from viewing profiles from the outside..will this clash with the updated plugin at all..?
It could, my plugin allows uses to decide if profiles are open
I got it to work but when logged in as admin it’s okay as in viewing a non-friend member
However, if I log in as a member, I cannot view the activity, profile, friends, groups etc of another members profile even when we are friends..?
strange – I tried deleting then re-installing but still the same problem occurs.
If it’s any consolation I have a few ‘walled garden style’ code edits on members profiles, groups, forum directories so maybe theres a clash perhaps..?
** update **
tried deleting the walled garden edit (for profile viewing) and running the plugin – no change I’m afraid
Bumping this sorry but this Privacy plugin is way up there on the priority plugin must-haves
and my site members profiles are open and vulnerable without this functioning
I refer to the earlier post:
” I got it to work but when logged in as admin it’s okay as in viewing a non-friend member

Thanks in advance
No way to tell since you edited default pages. Try reverting members/single files to default.
okay reverted back to the default and still the same issue
If I sign in as Admin and view a non-friend profile that has checked the privacy settings I get the message ‘you must be friends with this user to view their profile’ all is good, but..
If I sign in as a member and go to a friends profile – again that has their privacy settings checked I cannot see any of their profile fields – plus there is nothing on display in terms of the above notice – you must be friends blah blah
I got rid of ALL walled-garden edits and still the issue persists dude
The trouble is in total I’m running 10 plugins
I’ve stripped my plugins down to the bone and even sacrificed a couple that I ‘want’ more than ‘need’ if you know what I mean, so can’t afford to lose anymore or major functions on the site will be sorely missed.
Is it at all possible that this issue with the privacy plugin is ringing any other ‘alarm bells’ apart from plugin conflict..?
Is profile.php default? I had moved code edits to home.php
yes it is
I didn’t go for the first update with the profile.php
I waited for the most recent home.php update
I over-wrote the home.php with the plugins in both Bp-default and my child theme.
Might be worth noting too that when I tried over-writing my child-theme’s home.php the settings privacy component didn’t show on the profiles – so tried bp-default’s and the settings showed..strange ?
I’m a pain in the ass I know but I appreciate your work so far man, just wish this would work then I can probably put editing to bed for a while as ALL my main tweaks are 99% done !
The minor alterations I can live with for a while lol
It could be a child theme problem, try deleting home.php in your child theme and just edit the one in the BuddyPress plugin folder
I deleted the child theme home.php, still the same problem..should I try deleting and re-installing the plugin perhaps..?
should I keep the home.php in the plugin itself intact ?
or should I delete after copying it’s contents into bp-default home.php ?
Those files in the privacy plugin folder are not referenced
okay so not a problem then!
I deleted the child theme home.php as suggested, but still the same problem..should I try deleting and re-installing the plugin perhaps..?
You can, like is said before, once you start changing things from default it could be any issue that could make plugins non functional. I have the plugin installed on a default bp install dev.buddiphone.com and it works perfect.
