    Hi there

    Is there any way of preventing users (other than admin) from deleting their own activity eg. I don’t want them to be able to delete entries such as “User x updated their profile”.

    I’ve successfully prevented commenting on certain activities using bp_activity_can_comment and I’m thinking maybe I can use bp_activity_user_can_delete in a similar way, but can’t seem to make that work.

    Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

    With many thanks in advance.

    PS. I know I can hide “Delete” with CSS but would really prefer to use a filter instead.

    Hi NikB,

    Please add the following code to your bp-custom.php

    
/**
 * Disable BuddyPress activity delete by the user.
 *
 * @param bool $can_delete flag.
 * @param BP_Activity_Activity $activity Activity object.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function buddydev_disable_activity_delete( $can_delete, $activity ) {
	if ( ! is_super_admin() ) {
		$can_delete = false;
	}

	return $can_delete;
}

add_filter( 'bp_activity_user_can_delete', 'buddydev_disable_activity_delete', 10, 2 );

    Regards
    Ravi
