And so quick! 🙂

ps. I’ll still take a look at your more advanced restrictions plugin when you release it, but this has taken the edge off the urgency for the moment. Again, this was a very helpful solution and I really appreciate your helping me with this task, Brajesh. Thank you.

hi Brajesh,

that looks very helpful, I think my solution was a tad “naive”, yours looks much more complete (and functional…). I’ll look at it tomorrow and be sure to let you know how I get on.

Looking at this a bit more, I’m thinking I might need to remove and replace your can_post_update() function entirely (via remove_action) and replace it (via add_action) with my own capability logic. Hmmm.

hi Brajesh,

here’s my question… I currently have this boilerplate, but am unsure how it will mesh with your class. Possibly I need to initialize, or call a global instance, here.

// ignore the $user arg, just ask about the current user.
function my_restrict_post( $user ) {

        // use my capability to block based on the user role
        if ( current_user_can( 'not_post_freely' ) ) {
                return false; // block the post
        }

        return true; // let the user post

}
add_filter( 'can_post_update', array( 'BP_Rate_Limit_User_Activity_Helper', 'my_restrict_post' ) );

How does this look – advice always welcome…
