Hi Clyn,
Thank you for posting. It is not possible with MediaPress at the moment.

Having a different filter is a good idea and I will keep that on my list. The posting from URl is coming in mid September. I am sorry about this for now.

Hi Lee,
In case of BuddyPress, you will have to know a few functions. I will add a few example below

bp_is_user() -> is used to check if we are on a user page

bp_is_user_[component nanme]<- Replavce with actual component to check if we are on a user component. e.g. bp_is_user_activity() bp_is_user_groups() bp_is_user_messages() etc To get the id of the user whose profile we are viewing $user_id = bp_displayed_user_id(); We can also check which sub nav of the current component a user is viewing using bp_current_action() and bp_is_current_action() To redirect, you can use bp_core_redirect( $url ) Now, after looking at these functions, we can write the following code for your above need.

function buddydev_custom_redirect() {
	
	//step 1, check if we are on a page that needs the redirection
	//This can be handled in two ways, 
	////depending on how many redirect you want to add for various pages.
	//if the number of redirects are too many, 
	////It is helpful to use negative logic like
	//// if( not_my_page ) { return ;}
	
	//for this simpel case
	
	if ( bp_is_user_activity() && bp_is_current_action( 'mentions' ) ) {
		$redirect_to = bp_core_get_user_domain( bp_displayed_user_id() );//profile
		
		bp_core_redirect( $redirect_to );
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'buddydev_custom_redirect', 0 );

I hope it helps.

Hi,
Thank you for posting.

1. You don’t need the Non editable profile field plugin, just do not install/activate or use the Member type field (It is not required as a field if only admin can change it)

Here is the code you can put in your bp-custom.php to safely update the default member type when teh user account is activated.

function buddydev_set_member_type( $user_id ) {
	
	$member_type = 'student';//change with the unique slug of your member type
	bp_set_member_type( $user_id, $member_type );
	
}
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'buddydev_set_member_type', 0 );

Hope that helps.
