“Edited comment”

Hello and thanks for great effort being done by you.

I added it to bp-cutom.php, unfortunately it did not work and the script appeared as text on top of site header.

Then cleared bp-cutom.php and tried to add it as snippet it worked well and happy for result.

i have a extra question, is there a way to strict the excluded roles from activity, posting and having BuddyPress profiles ?

I understand surely your are busy and appreciating your response.

Hello Mohammed,

Hope you are doing great.

For the bp custom.php make sure to add at the beginning of the file this line below, but if you wanna try this solution make sure to disable the snippet you created first as duplicated code will result in site going down.

<?php
For Restricting Pages and posting and other Youzify features by role, I recommend using our addon Membership Restrictions:

For disabling profiles by the role you can use this:

Hope this helps.

Best Regards, Youssef.

Hello,

Is it possible to hide more than one role with this snippet? I tried to hide 'administrator' and 'customer'. it hides the admins but not the customer. Did i something wrong?

$role = 'administrator';'customer';// change to the role to be excluded.
$user_ids = get_users( array( 'role' => $role, 'fields' => 'ID' ) );

Than you for your help!

best regards Jurek
