Hi Alex,
Thank you for the question.

the plugin is not aimed at changing user nice names. It allows changing the username(the name used to login).

Please see the name of the plugin. It specifically says that “Username” not anything else. I can add a hook for the same but BuddyBoss nick names need to be unique(and unless you want the username to be nickname), It is going to be a problem.

Please let me know if you still need the hook? I will add.

Hi Nik,

Thank you for the details.
We have missed to add a permanent redirect as the second url should redirect to group post or do a 404.
I will update the plugin in next couple of days.

Hi Daniel,
Please share the details.

I don’t remember the changes but looking at the activity page will certainly help me to see the reason.

Please share the details and I will assist.

Hi Nik,
WordPress provides us with a filter to customize the args Recent posts widget passes to WP_Query.

We can use code like below

add_filter( 'widget_posts_args', function ( $args ) {

	$args['meta_key']     = '_bblgroups_group_id';
	$args['meta_compare'] = 'NOT EXISTS';

	//or
	/*
	$args['meta_query'] = array(
		array(
			'key'     => '_bblgroups_group_id',
			'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS'
		)
	);*/

	return $args;
} );

to exclude it.

You can either use the meta_key, meta_compare approach or the meta_query approach if you are doing multiple meta query. only one of these conditions are required.

Please let me know if it works or not?

Hi Nik,
Thank you for the question.

For group posts we are adding a meta key ‘_bblgroups_group_id’.

You can use it to exclude posts by filtering on pre_get_posts or any other way.

If it is the core WordPress recent posts widget, please let me know. I can look into it and add the support for exuding there.
