Hi, I have a wordpress installation with buddypress plugin installed. I also have other plugins like buddydrive, rtmedia etc. I have s2member pro installed and have configured 3 membership levels. I am trying to restrict access to pages and functionality using the URI restrictions eg /members/%%current_user_nicename%%/buddydrive.
I have tried this for all pages and URIs and it is not working at all. I can still get to the content on the pages even when i am not logged in at all. Please help!
You can’t use something like %%current_user_nicename%% for URI restrictions. That’s a variable, which is fine for PHP, but useless for HTML.
You need to use a fragment of an actual URL for URI restrictions to work. See the examples given at Restriction Options -> URI Restrictions -> Buddypress (and similar)
Thanks for the tip. I tried using /buddydrive/ and it still wouldnt work!
Maybe. But, since no-one here can see your site, we can have no idea whether /buddydrive/ should work.
If you want more help, you will need to provide a lot more detail about how you’ve organized your levels and what your URLs look like.
Thanks Tim. I have set up 3 levels of membership : 0, 1 and 2 level 0 being subscriber (free registration) level. buddydrive is a plugin that creates a navigation link in the members profile but i want to restrict access to it. I hope this gives you a bit of background. The url for the site is beta.pitchpan.com. Please let me know what/specific information you need. Thanks a million
I need to understand how the relevant URLs (the ones relating to buddypress (buddydrive?) are structured. In other words, what do they look like after the domain name?
