    While using BuddyPress and testing it out I noticed something. Users that are not part of a group cannot comment on posts from said group. While I don’t want users to be able to make activity posts for groups that they are not apart of, I do want them to be able to comment on said groups posts even if they are not in this said group. So, is there a plugin or a simple fix within BuddyPress’s settings that I can do to make this happen? Thanks in advance for a response!

    Hi Avi,
    BuddyPress does limit it for group.

    You can override and remove any comment restrictions(for all activities) using the following code

    
add_filter( 'bp_activity_can_comment', '__return_true', 100 );

    Hi Brajesh, I greatly appreciate the response. If you could go a little bit more into depth and explain where I can input this code into my wordpress site that would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Avi,
    You can out it in your child theme’s functions.php or in a new file wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php
