Hi Stijn,
Thank you

1. Please install and activate classic widget https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/
Then, Visit Dashboard->Appearance->Widgets and add some widget to “Left Panel” widget area.

That will remove the default widgets currently visible(archive and categories).

Hi,
Please try the following code.

// Disables activity post form on group pages for non-admins
/**
 * Checks if user can post activity
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function buddydev_user_can_post_activity() {

	if ( ! bp_is_group_activity() ) {
		return true;
	}

	// Replace ids by your allowed user ids.
	$allowed_user_ids = bp_group_admin_ids( groups_get_current_group(), 'array' );

	$can = false;
	if ( is_super_admin() || in_array( get_current_user_id(), $allowed_user_ids ) ) {
		$can = true;
	}

	return $can;
}

add_action( 'bp_before_activity_post_form', function() {

	if ( ! buddydev_user_can_post_activity() ) {
		ob_start();
	}

} );

add_action( 'bp_after_activity_post_form', function() {

	if ( ! buddydev_user_can_post_activity() ) {
		ob_get_clean();

		$css = '#buddypress form#whats-new-form {display: none};';

		wp_add_inline_style( 'bp-legacy-css', $css );
	}
} );

add_action( 'bp_enqueue_scripts', function () {
	if ( ! buddydev_user_can_post_activity() ) {
		$css = '#buddypress form#whats-new-form {display: none};';

		wp_add_inline_style( 'bp-parent-css', $css );
	}
}, 15 );

/**
 * Filter ajax post request
 */
function buddydev_restrict_post_update() {

	// Always allow site admin.
	if ( buddydev_user_can_post_activity() || function_exists( 'bp_nouveau' ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$object = empty( $_POST['object'] ) ? '' : sanitize_key( $_POST['object'] );

	if ( ! $object || 'user' == $object || bp_is_user_activity() ) {
		exit( '-1<div id="message" class="error bp-ajax-message"><p>' . __( 'You are not allowed to post activity.' ) . '</p></div>' );
	}
}

add_action( 'wp_ajax_post_update', 'buddydev_restrict_post_update', 9 );

It should only show the post form to the group admin.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for the post.

Please allow me to check it with the latest BuddyBoss version and get back to you within next 24 hours.

Hi Stephanie,

Hope you are doing well.
Thank you for your patience.

Please upgrade to 1.5.9.1. It accounts for the current file being uploaded in the allocated size.

PS:- It only accounts for uploading file. If you are using remote media download feature(adding from remote source), It will not account in that case as the size is not available.

Hi gavyn,
Welcome to BuddyDev support forums.
I am not familiar with the code of BuddyX theme.

Here is some code that doe sit (but in a reverse way, disables at other places except group).
https://buddydev.com/support/forums/topic/hiding-whats-new-form-in-member-activity-but-not-in-groups/page/2/#post-44896

If you are comfortable with code, Please customize it from your use case. If you are not comfortable with code customization, Please let me know. I will update it for default BuddyPress which you can check and see if that works for BuddyX.

Regards
Brajesh
