    Hello BuddyDev Team

    Thank you for creating an amazing plugin. I would like to know if it’s possible to hide certain category and tag ID’s via php on my bp-custom.php file. I would like some categories to be for verified members that the admin selects (example: the medical category & tag for health practitioners only). I would like to hide which tags, categories are shown frontend to users.

    Thank You.

    Regards

    Hi PresPhuture,
    Thank you for posting.
    Yes, it is possible to control which category/tags are shown

    
    
    /**
     * Filter the BuddyBlog form settings and limit category/tag inclusion.
     *
     * @param array $settings settings array.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    function buddydev_filter_buddyblog_form_settings( $settings ) {
    
    	$tax                        = isset( $settings['tax'] ) ? $settings['tax'] : array();
    	$tax['category']['include'] = array( 1, 2, 3 );// category ids to include.
    	$tax['post_tag']['include'] = array( 5, 7, 9 );// tag ids to include.
    
    	$settings['tax'] = $tax;
    
    	return $settings;
    }
    
    add_filter( 'buddyblog_post_form_settings', 'buddydev_filter_buddyblog_form_settings' );
    
    

    Please change the ids with your own. It will only list the category tags with those ids. I hope you can modify it form there on.

    Hope that helps.

    Regards

    Hi Brajesh

    Unfortunately the code didn’t work. When I go to the frontend, all of the categories and post tags are there, not those I specifically chosen for the frontend or buddyblog.

    I will check it on a demo and let you know today. I am not sure what is wrong with the above code.

    Hi PresPhuture,

    I have tested the code on my local server and it is working fine. Are you dealing with normal WordPress post categories or other custom taxonomy categories?. Please let me know.

    Regards
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi

    I’m using the normal WordPress post categories and taxinomies.

    Hello PresPhuture,

    Thank you for the acknowledgement. Can you please provide me with the screenshot of the BuddyBlog settings screen. Also if you are modifying BuddyBlog settings programmatically post me the code too.

    Thank You

    Hi Ravi

    How do I send a screenshot on buddydev as there isn’t an upload image menu.

    Regards
