Hi Beuza,
Welcome to BuddyDev.

I am sorry to hear that you were unable to find a solution. I will help as much as possible.

First, I assume you already have the member types registered. Still, here is the code that I am using for registering member type for this example.

/**
 * Register member types.
 */
function buddydev_register_member_types() {
	bp_register_member_type( 'player', array(
		'labels'        => array(
			'name'          => 'Players',
			'singular_name' => 'Player',
		),
		'has_directory' => true,
	) );

	bp_register_member_type( 'agent', array(
		'labels'        => array(
			'name'          => 'Agents',
			'singular_name' => 'Agent',
		),
		'has_directory' => true,
	) );

	bp_register_member_type( 'scout', array(
		'labels'        => array(
			'name'          => 'Scouts',
			'singular_name' => 'Scout',
		),
		'has_directory' => true,
	) );
}
add_action( 'bp_register_member_types', 'buddydev_register_member_types' );

That registers member types. The important things to note is “agent”, “player” and “scout” is the actual name of member type(unique identifier) in this case. rest of the code will use them.

Step 1:- Remove the groups form all user’s profile who don’t have the member type as ‘agent’

/**
 * Remove groups from user profile based on member type.
 */
function buddydev_remove_group_based_on_member_types() {
	if ( ! bp_is_user() ) {
		return;
	}

	$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();

	if ( ! bp_has_member_type( $user_id, 'agent' ) ) {
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
	}

}

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'buddydev_remove_group_based_on_member_types', 1001 );

And it will only show the “Groups” nav on the user who have agent member type.

We still have an issue. The adminbar for all users show “groups” and leads to page not found. let us fix that.

Step 2:-

/**
 * Remove groups from adminbar based on member type.
 *
 * @param array $nav nav items.
 *
 * @return array
 */
function buddydev_filter_show_hide_groups_in_adminbar( $nav ) {
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return $nav;
	}

	if ( ! bp_has_member_type( bp_loggedin_user_id(), 'agent' ) ) {
		$nav = array();
	}

	return $nav;
}

add_filter( 'bp_groups_admin_nav', 'buddydev_filter_show_hide_groups_in_adminbar' );

That’s all.

Please put the code in your bp-custom.php and It will work.

Hope you have a great time working with BuddyPress 🙂

Hi Beuza,
May I see how have you registered the member types? You need to use the same type.
I have tested the code and it works with my example above, so I am guessing the issue is with name.

Can you please post the code that you are using for registering member type?

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi Laurent,
Thank you.
It was a kind gesture by you but not required.

I am going to install and use the other plugin and check the code. I will get back to you within an hour with the details.

Thank you
Brajesh
