    Hi Tosin,
    Thank you for reminding. Our priorities have changed and this addon for BuddyBlog is not in our priority list currently.

    We do plan to create it sometime sin the future.

    Regards

    I too would like an option to limit the number of posts a user can create per post type. Is this feature still coming?

    Hello,

    Please try the following code:

    
add_filter( 'bblpro_user_can_create_post', function ( $can, $user_id, $post_type ) {

	// Not his profile return.
	if ( ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {
		return $can;
	}

	if ( 'post' === $post_type ) {
		$posts_limit = 5;

		$args = array(
			'numberposts' => - 1,
			'post_type'   => $post_type,
			'fields'      => 'ids',
			'author'      => $user_id,
		);

		$posts_count = get_posts( $args );

		if ( ! empty( $posts_count ) && count( $posts_count ) >= $posts_limit ) {
			$can = false;
		}
	}

	return $can;
}, 15, 3 );

    It will limit the user based on post type. Please give it a try

    Regards
    Ravi

    Hello Ravi

    I would prefer to limit post creation to 10 per day for all users

    Maybe a buddyblog integration with this plugin can help https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-posts-limit/

    this is a rough work

    
 add_filter( 'bblpro_user_can_create_post', function ( $can, $user_id, $post_type ) {

    // Check if it's a post creation attempt and the user is logged in.
    if ( 'post' !== $post_type || ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
        return $can;
    }

    // Get the posts limit.
    $posts_limit = 1;

    // Get the last post creation timestamp for the user.
    $last_post_time = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'last_post_time', true );

    // If the last post time is not set or it's been more than 24 hours, reset the counter.
    if ( empty( $last_post_time ) || strtotime( $last_post_time ) < strtotime( '-1 day' ) ) {
        // Reset post count.
        update_user_meta( $user_id, 'post_count', 0 );
        update_user_meta( $user_id, 'last_post_time', current_time( 'mysql' ) );
    }

    // Get the current post count for the user.
    $post_count = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'post_count', true );

    if ( $post_count >= $posts_limit ) {
        $can = false; // User has exceeded the daily limit.
    } else {
        // Increment the post count and update the last post time.
        $post_count++;
        update_user_meta( $user_id, 'post_count', $post_count );
        update_user_meta( $user_id, 'last_post_time', current_time( 'mysql' ) );
    }

    return $can;
}, 15, 3 );

    The problem is how to not restrict old users who have already published old posts over the post limit. I would have preferred the limit to start afresh for old users

    Hello Ravi,

    I finally think this code work can you review it

     add_filter( 'bblpro_user_can_create_post', function ( $can, $user_id, $post_type ) {

    // Not user's profile, return without modification
    if ( ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {
        return $can;
    }

    if ( 'post' === $post_type ) {
        $posts_limit = 5; // Adjust the daily limit as needed

        $today = date( 'Y-m-d' ); // Get today's date

        $args = array(
            'numberposts' => -1,
            'post_type'   => $post_type,
            'fields'      => 'ids',
            'author'      => $user_id,
            'date_query'  => array(
                array(
                    'after'     => $today . ' 00:00:00',
                    'before'    => $today . ' 23:59:59',
                    'inclusive' => true,
                ),
            ),
        );

        $posts_count = get_posts( $args );

        if ( ! empty( $posts_count ) && count( $posts_count ) >= $posts_limit ) {
            $can = false; // User has reached the daily limit
        }
    }

    return $can;
}, 15, 3 );

    Hello Tosin,

    You can use this code although it is slow but it doesn’t have much effect on site performance.
