Absolutely appreciate that feature. One important criteria in regard of UI/X is missing imho: instead of completely having buttons ”disappear“ I would recommend to leave them and grey them out as ”deactivated“. Otherwise it could be possible that some members are not even aware that they are ”missing“ features. It could be confusing in the awareness.
I agree. I plan to limit most access controls as paid features. Adding an option in the admin to substitute those features/buttons(when restricted) with a custom label and link or modal to upgrade their current plan- would greatly increase conversion rates.
By leaving the buttons greyed out you might also incentivize members to find out what they need to do in order to get access to the feature that is restricted or deactivated. But this is only the start! Awesome work BuddyBoss team. Keep up the great work!
@LaJuan Collins @@RichardScharfenberg both great points. Rather than having something not displaying at all, it should show something that a member is missing and wants to have. This could also be ”optional“ in the setup. So both scenarios would be possible then.

The different filters beyond memberships, and the additional media settings, make this a great added-benefit for Paid Membership Pro users already using the BuddyPress add-on and could possibly even replace it! I am currently developing a storage manager that tracks and limits the total amount of space allowed for media in the photo and document tabs of both the user profiles and groups that will compliment these features quite nicely as well! It's based on membership, but BB's use of additional filters is also very interesting...

Excellent solution to create diversified subscriptions (even using the Memberpress plugin things were very limited but so everything is more linear).

"Group Access" doesn't work for me. I created two profile types, and established that one of them can only create groups, and the other can only join them. But each of them can still create groups and join them. What could be wrong?
Am I right in thinking that you can only control access based on either gender globally? Is there no way to create a group or group type or even profile type based on gender - so you could have one group for males and a different group for females?
Hey Matt, looking at the details you mentioned, it will require customization as this will change the look and functional aspect of the product. I'm afraid this is something beyond the support service that we offer. We do not customize our products for your specific project requirements. Feel free to hire a personal developer for this purpose.
Great job !! just wanted to know, do we have option to grant access to perticular group/ groups at registration process only? I have free and paid memberships in my site, if paid member gets access for perticular groups and courses, what happens when that member fall back to free membership? I want to remove access to those groups ...coz, somehow having access to those groups gets them access to paid courses connected to those perticular group.
Sorry for the delayed reply, this type of functionality is generally handled by a Membership plugin, they should have a rule to remove content/group access after expiration.
Video Upload Option and message live loading? Are you going to launch it in 2022? They are only in roadmap since so many months , Please Give it most priority
To be honest, I was expecting a little bit more. I was hoping that we would be able to set specific member access controls for specific groups. This would make it very easy to give specific memberships access to exclusive groups! Is this something you're thinking about adding in the future?
We are going to add the ability to set things on a group type basis, so you can target group types and only allow people of specific memberships to join or create specific group types.
@@BuddybossWP When is this going to happen? It's been over a year since this comment and I don't see a way to do this unless I'm missing something. If I am, can you point out how to do this?
WPML is not yet fully tested with our theme and platform. We'll pass the suggestion to the product team. If we get enough requests for this feature, we'll consider building it into the product. :
Can I use this feature to make Learndash the "membership" plug-in to limit certain site features to people who purchase / belong to certain groups? ie Learndash group 1 has access to forums and messages, but Learndash group 2 has access to only courses?
Yes, you can limit certain social functionality feature by Membership. Here's a sample: prnt.sc/iuEgkYNLbKCQ But note that it is only applicable to BuddyBoss Platform functionality/features. If you want control in your courses, you can protect/control it using your Membership plugin.

Hello, unfortunately, BuddyBoss does not have such features to limit the number of posts a user can make per day. The Member Access Controls only have the option to control which members can interact with specific types of community content, based on membership level from supported plugins, profile type, WordPress role, and more. We highly suggest submitting this idea as a feature request on our roadmap (bit.ly/BBIdeas) for our Product Team to check. Thank you!
In your walkthrough where you discussed Group creation based on criterion selected, can only one be selected? Or can I allow Group creation for someone with a Gold membership or someone who holds a Profile Type of Teacher or whatever else is appropriate?
You can select which members should have access to create groups, based on the WordPress Role, Profile Type or Membership type. You can only select one. Go to your WP Dashboard > BuddyBoss > Settings > Groups. At the bottom, under group access, you can configure this setting.
@@BuddybossWP Thank you for your response. Attaching only one Profile Type to a member appears an outlier case. Most communities of any depth/breadth consists of members who wear multiple hats. For example, the case covered in the video defines two profile types: Teacher and Student. A school member could wear the hat of Student, Tutor, Custodial Engineer, Library Apprentice, etc. In my specific case, a member can be a Player, and a Coach, and a Volunteer, and a Referee, and a Tournament Organizer, and a Vendor, Gender, etc. In my targeted community, a member holding only ONE Profile Type IS the outlier. I imagine that is the same for most communities. Do you have plans to address this critical need; that is, multiple profile types per member? I would use BuddyDev’s BuddyPress Member Types Pro plugin since it is compatible with all BuddyPress themes; unfortunately however, not BuddyBoss.
Hey Mayaro, we really appreciate your feedback. The BuddyBoss Platform already has a functionality to create a profile type for each member though you can only select one. Having multiple profile types for each member is currently not available out of the box. On the other hand, this sounds like it might be a great idea for a feature request or enhancement. Make sure you've submitted your insight to our product board here so our product team can review it: bit.ly/BBIdeas
@@BuddybossWP Done. Idea submitted via your link: Multiple Profile Types per Community Member. Only in outlier cases does a community member finagle representation using only one Profile Type. Vibrant communities comprise members with diverse, well-earned personas where visibility to the entire community would be invaluable. No one-trick ponies. We each are better than that, aren't we?
Nice job! I have been facing one issue lately with emojis in the blog page of the buddyboss them, when ever a post with emojis is posted on the blog page it becomes very large in size when viewing the post, so is their any fix to this ? thank you

BuddyBoss Theme will add support for Tutor LMS, with a beautiful interface for courses and lesson content, support for Dark Mode, and support for popular Tutor LMS add-ons. We are aiming for Q1 2021. Check our roadmap here: www.buddyboss.com/roadmap/
Its great to limit which user roles can upload what content! (file size & amount in activity) I just wish in addition we could specify the number of videos/photos specific user roles can upload into their profile page. So, for example free users can upload only 2 images into profile and gold member as its paid, 10 images.
Thanks for the suggestion and feedback, @Page Crafterz You can submit your insight to our product board here so our product team can review it: bit.ly/BBIdeas
@@BuddybossWP Hi, I just did. Seems you have lots of work ahead of you and many very good features on your roadmap :) Dont know if its just me but somehow after I submitted a few ides/added to already existing ones their "count" did not go up by my comment. So, either the "count" does not work or I did something wrong - I wrote my comments/ideas, submitted them and was asked to confirm email, which I then did but every time I did it I saw the count number from before was still displayed - so it did not go up by 1 (my comment).
that's cool and all but what we really need is the ability to require approval before a group goes live. That's like WordPress 101. Anytime a front-end user can create content that shows up on your site you're going to want an admin to approve it first before it goes live. Crazy that this isn't already a feature
Hi James, We understand that the feature you are looking for might be necessary for you however, please note that there are a number of things we consider when deciding to build and prioritizing features. These include: -The value of the feature to customers -The number of use cases or how widely the feature applies to customers. -How the feature will affect the performance and security of our products -How the feature will affect how easy our products are to setup -If the feature helps to make other features easier to implement or build in the future. -If the feature fits in with our overall vision for BuddyBoss You can alwasy submit this idea as a feature enhancement request on our roadmap for our product team to check. www.buddyboss.com/roadmap/ Thank you!
Hey Sarosh, you can restrict who has access to posting on the Activity feed based on membership types. Member Access Control is focused around the BuddyBoss functionality - for example: groups, activity, messaging and media
hello, as long as you have the membership plugin activated it should be available in the selection, if it isn't, we highly suggest creating a support ticket so that our support team can check. Thank you!
Sorry for the delayed reply, the Member Access Control does not distinguish between app vs web. Currently we haven't got any option to restrict app logins based upon specific memberships. I'll add it to our suggested feedback though.
Try to clear your browser cookies and cache, and server cache first. It is possible that there is a conflicting plugin issue. Please deactivate all other plugins except for the BuddyBoss Platform and Platform Pro. If this solves the issue, activate them one by one to find out which one was creating a conflict. If that did not fix the problem, kindly submit us a support ticket here: my.buddyboss.com

Having multiple profile types for each member is currently not available out of the box. On the other hand, this sounds like it might be a great idea for a feature request or enhancement. Make sure you've submitted your insight to our product board here so our product team can review it: bit.ly/BBIdeas
@@BuddybossWP Done. Idea submitted via your link: Multiple Profile Types per Community Member. Only in outlier cases does a community member finagle representation using only one Profile Type. Vibrant communities comprise members with diverse, well-earned personas where visibility to the entire community would be invaluable. No one-trick ponies. We each are better than that, aren't we?
Awesome! We appreciate your feedback and suggestion, we will consider working on the improvement/feature request you have mentioned.
Nice job! I have been facing one issue lately with emojis in the blog page of the buddyboss them, when ever a post with emojis is posted on the blog page it becomes very large in size when viewing the post, so is their any fix to this ? thank you
Can you please submit a support ticket so we can test on your actual website. This is the type of issue that requires us to login and see if we can reproduce on your site. Thanks!
When will tuttor LMS Will be available for BuddyBoss?
BuddyBoss Theme will add support for Tutor LMS, with a beautiful interface for courses and lesson content, support for Dark Mode, and support for popular Tutor LMS add-ons. We are aiming for Q1 2021. Check our roadmap here: www.buddyboss.com/roadmap/
ah great i see wishlist on the list
Its great to limit which user roles can upload what content! (file size & amount in activity)
I just wish in addition we could specify the number of videos/photos specific user roles can upload into their profile page.
So, for example free users can upload only 2 images into profile and gold member as its paid, 10 images.

@@BuddybossWP Hi, I just did. Seems you have lots of work ahead of you and many very good features on your roadmap :)
Dont know if its just me but somehow after I submitted a few ides/added to already existing ones their "count" did not go up by my comment. So, either the "count" does not work or I did something wrong - I wrote my comments/ideas, submitted them and was asked to confirm email, which I then did but every time I did it I saw the count number from before was still displayed - so it did not go up by 1 (my comment).
We'll check it out. Thanks for making us aware.
that's cool and all but what we really need is the ability to require approval before a group goes live. That's like WordPress 101. Anytime a front-end user can create content that shows up on your site you're going to want an admin to approve it first before it goes live. Crazy that this isn't already a feature
Hi James, We understand that the feature you are looking for might be necessary for you however, please note that there are a number of things we consider when deciding to build and prioritizing features. These include:
-The value of the feature to customers
-The number of use cases or how widely the feature applies to customers.
-How the feature will affect the performance and security of our products
-How the feature will affect how easy our products are to setup
-If the feature helps to make other features easier to implement or build in the future.
-If the feature fits in with our overall vision for BuddyBoss
You can alwasy submit this idea as a feature enhancement request on our roadmap for our product team to check. www.buddyboss.com/roadmap/
Thank you!
Can I disable making comments for specific member types?
Hey Sarosh, you can restrict who has access to posting on the Activity feed based on membership types.
Member Access Control is focused around the BuddyBoss functionality - for example: groups, activity, messaging and media
How do I get the greyed out "Membership" option to show in the Group Access section?
hello, as long as you have the membership plugin activated it should be available in the selection, if it isn't, we highly suggest creating a support ticket so that our support team can check. Thank you!
@@BuddybossWP Why no support for ultimate member bro
Whaou, i'm even surprised
Cool! Thank you!
Will there be an access control for the app vs the website?
Yes, this feature also works in the BuddyBoss App.
@@BuddybossWP No I mean will you be able to say only certain memberships can have the App?
Sorry for the delayed reply, the Member Access Control does not distinguish between app vs web.
Currently we haven't got any option to restrict app logins based upon specific memberships. I'll add it to our suggested feedback though.
It does not cover Wp job manager ?
Hi Joblux, currently, it only applies based on WordPress roles, membership, profile types, Gamipress, and gender.
I don't have Group Access, and I have the updated platform and theme.
Try to clear your browser cookies and cache, and server cache first. It is possible that there is a conflicting plugin issue. Please deactivate all other plugins except for the BuddyBoss Platform and Platform Pro. If this solves the issue, activate them one by one to find out which one was creating a conflict. If that did not fix the problem, kindly submit us a support ticket here: my.buddyboss.com
@@BuddybossWP I found it. I thought I had the platform pro installed, but I didn't. Thanks for your reply!
Cool! Let us know if you need further assistance on this.
