Restrict Buddypress forums

[mariamar]

Hi,
I need to associate certain Buddypress forums with the different categories I've established for membership levels, so that only members in that category will be able to participate in these forums.

Is it possible in a SIMPLE way?

I'm not a developer and feel overwhelmed with so many variables. I really need to place my attention in content and marketing. Geeez.

Thanks so much!
MM

I believe it's possible with simple tags but only Cristián can tell you exactly.

Thanks, Where's Christiaaaaaan?

I looked into it (seeing how Cristián has gone missing) and it's really simple, you must set level restrictions for tags on Restriction options -> Tag access restrictions -> Tags and then apply those tags to the posts or pages that you want to protect and that's it.

Hope this helps .

I haven't gone missing. I'm around daily, just not all day.

Category restriction applies to WordPress posts categories, not BuddyPress.

For BuddyPress you may find the URI restriction helpful. See if those categories have something in their URLs that you can use identify them. WP Admin -> s2Member -> Restriction Options -> URI

If that isn't enough, you may need to customize BuddyPress categories to check for the user's s2Member access (i.e. level or custom capability) before displaying the posts.

I hope that helps.
