Hello Amanda,

Try the following code:

/**
 * Check weather user is restricted from commenting.
 *
 * @param int $user_id User id.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function buddydev_is_restricted_commenter( $user_id ) {

	// Never restrict super admin from commenting or no user found.
	if ( is_super_admin( $user_id ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	$user = get_user_by( 'id', $user_id );

	// Roles those will be restricted.
	$restricted_roles = array( 'contributor', 'subscriber' );

	// Restrict only if the user has restricted roles.
	if ( $user && array_intersect( $user->roles, $restricted_roles ) ) {
		return true;
	}

	return false;
}

/**
 * Check user can comment or not.
 *
 * @param bool $can Bool.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function buddydev_user_can_comment( $can ) {
	$activity = new BP_Activity_Activity( bp_get_activity_id() );

	$user_id = get_current_user_id();

	// Do not restrict for its own activity.
	if ( $activity->user_id == $user_id ) {
		return $can;
	}

	if ( buddydev_is_restricted_commenter( $user_id ) ) {
		$can = false;
	}

	return $can;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_can_comment', 'buddydev_user_can_comment' );
add_filter( 'bp_activity_can_comment_reply', 'buddydev_user_can_comment' );

Please give it a try.

Ravo

Hello Amanda,

Welcome to the BuddyDev forums. You can replace the following function

bp_has_member_type( get_current_user_id(), 'student' );

with

// Replace the capability with role's capability you want to restrict
current_user_can( 'edit_posts' );

For role-based capability check the following URL.

Hello Laurent,

Sorry for the inconvenience. Please let me know which template pack and theme you are using?.

Ravi

Hello Lisa,

Thank you for posting. Branded Login plugin does not deal with the registration. BuddyPress does offer Policy acceptance with Nouveau template pack. Please let me know which template pack you are using. Please navigate to Dashboard > Settings > BuddyPress > Options > Main settings > Template pack.

Ravi
