    The script will work fine for BuddyPress legacy Template pack. You are most probably not using it.

    Please visit Dashboard->Settings->BuddyPress->Options and look for the Template pack option.

    Let us know which template pack it is.

    Can you post a screenshot of where it should be? I can’t find it.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    The option to select “Template pack” is not there.

    Are you using BuddyPress or BuddyBoss Platform for your community?. Also, please post me the code you are using.

    Hello Yuriix,

    Thank you for sharing the details. It seems your theme hiding that setting. Please try the following code it will work with legacy template pack.

    
    /**
     * Filter ajax post request
     */
    function buddydev_restrict_post_update() {
    
    	// Always allow site admin.
    	if ( is_super_admin() || function_exists( 'bp_nouveau' ) ) {
    		return;
    	}
    
    	$object = empty( $_POST['object'] ) ? '' : sanitize_key( $_POST['object'] );
    
    	if ( ! $object || 'user' == $object || bp_is_user_activity() ) {
    		// Allowed user ids.
    		$allowed_user_ids = array( 10 );
    
    		if ( ! in_array( get_current_user_id(), $allowed_user_ids ) ) {
    			exit( '-1<div id="message" class="error bp-ajax-message"><p>' . __( 'You are not allowed to post activity.' ) . '</p></div>' );
    		}
    	}
    }
    
    add_action( 'wp_ajax_post_update', 'buddydev_restrict_post_update', 9 );
    
    

    You can assign comma(,) separated user_ids for allowed users.

    Please give it a try and let me know if it helps or not.

    Regards
    Ravi

    Hello,

    it works 🙂

    Would it be possible to hide the form for other users except (besides) admin? If not, still great and thanks.

    Hello, I suppose it’s probably not possible for only Admin to see the Add Activity field. It’s good that the user can’t post activities, but it’s confusing that it’s by see.

    Hello Yuriix,

    Please try the following code:

    
    /**
     * Check if user can post activity
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    function buddydev_user_can_post_activity() {
    
    	if ( bp_is_group_activity() ) {
    		return true;
    	}
    
    	// Replace ids by your allowed user ids.
    	$allowed_user_ids = array( 24, 2 );
    
    	$can = false;
    	if ( is_super_admin() || in_array( get_current_user_id(), $allowed_user_ids ) ) {
    		$can = true;
    	}
    
    	return $can;
    }
    
    add_action( 'bp_before_activity_post_form', function() {
    
    	if ( ! buddydev_user_can_post_activity() ) {
    		ob_start();
    	}
    
    } );
    
    add_action( 'bp_after_activity_post_form', function() {
    
    	if ( ! buddydev_user_can_post_activity() ) {
    		ob_get_clean();
    
    		$css = '#buddypress form#whats-new-form {display: none};';
    
    		wp_add_inline_style( 'bp-legacy-css', $css );
    	}
    } );
    
    add_action( 'bp_enqueue_scripts', function () {
    	if ( ! buddydev_user_can_post_activity() ) {
    		$css = '#buddypress form#whats-new-form {display: none};';
    
    		wp_add_inline_style( 'bp-parent-css', $css );
    	}
    }, 15 );
    
    /**
     * Filter ajax post request
     */
    function buddydev_restrict_post_update() {
    
    	// Always allow site admin.
    	if ( buddydev_user_can_post_activity() || function_exists( 'bp_nouveau' ) ) {
    		return;
    	}
    
    	$object = empty( $_POST['object'] ) ? '' : sanitize_key( $_POST['object'] );
    
    	if ( ! $object || 'user' == $object || bp_is_user_activity() ) {
    		exit( '-1<div id="message" class="error bp-ajax-message"><p>' . __( 'You are not allowed to post activity.' ) . '</p></div>' );
    	}
    }
    
    add_action( 'wp_ajax_post_update', 'buddydev_restrict_post_update', 9 );
    
    

    Please replace the old code with this and give it a try.

    Note: It will hide the posting form on the activity directory as well. But users can post group activity within the group.

    Regards
    Ravi
