Hi Brendan,

Brajesh Sir is away so I am posting here. Please use the following code in your bp-custom.php file
and let me know if it works or not.

function buddydev_filter_buddyblog_settings( $settings ) {

    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
        return $settings;
    }

    // Get the current user in the admin
    $user = new WP_User( get_current_user_id() );

    // Get the user role
    $user_cap = $user->roles;

    // Get the user login name/ID
    if ( function_exists( 'get_users' ) )
        $user_login = $user->user_nicename;
    elseif ( function_exists( 'get_users_of_blog' ) )
        $user_login = $user->ID;

    $defaults = array( 'RestrictCategoriesDefault' );
    // Get selected categories for Roles
    $settings = get_option( 'RestrictCats_options' );

    // Get selected categories for Users
    $settings_user = get_option( 'RestrictCats_user_options' );

    $user_key = $user_login . '_user_cats';

    $term_ids = [];

    if ( is_array( $settings_user ) && array_key_exists( $user_key, $settings_user ) && count( $settings_user[ $user_key ] ) > 1 ) {

        $settings_user[ $user_key ] = array_values( array_diff( $settings_user[ $user_key ], $defaults ) );
        $user_terms = $settings_user[ $user_key ];

        foreach ( $user_terms as $term ) {
            $term_ids[] = get_term_by( 'slug', $term, 'category')->term_id;
        }

    } else{

        foreach ( $user_cap as $key ) {

            if ( is_array( $settings ) && !empty( $settings[ $key . '_cats' ] ) ) {

                $settings[ $key . '_cats' ] = array_values( array_diff( $settings[ $key . '_cats' ], $defaults ) );
                
                foreach ( $settings[ $key . '_cats' ] as $category ) {

                    $term_ids[] = get_term_by( 'slug', $category, 'category' )->term_id;

                }

            }

        }

    }

    $settings['tax'] =  array(
        'category' => array(
            'include' => array_unique( $term_ids ),
            'view_type' => 'checkbox'
        )
    );

    return $settings;
}
add_filter( 'buddyblog_post_form_settings', 'buddydev_filter_buddyblog_settings' );

Thank You
Ravi

Hi Leo,

You can try this code as this action provide user_id as parameter

function xprofile_bio_field_activity( $user_id ) {

    $bp = buddypress();

    if ( ! function_exists( 'bp_activity_add' ) ) {
        return false;
    }

    $userlink = bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id );

    bp_activity_add( array(
        'user_id'   => $user_id,
        'action'    => apply_filters( 'xprofile_bio_field_action', sprintf( __( '%s has just registered for this website', 'buddypress' ), $userlink ), $user_id ),
        'content'   => bp_member_profile_data('field=Bio'),
        'component' => 'profile',
        'type'      => 'new_user_bio'
    ) );

}
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'xprofile_bio_field_activity' );

Hi Phil,

If you disable the taxonomy. Post will be post to uncategorized category. But by doing custom code we can create post in any particular category.

Thank You
Ravi

Hi Phill,

Please follow the steps and let me how it goes

1. Configuring in Admin section. Please update Blog category for settings under setting menu.
2. Please find ‘Blog Categories’ menu under group’s manage tab from front-end and assign the category to that group.

Thank You
Ravi
