Restrict access to BuddyPress group postings?

You can restrict any pages you want with s2member. I’m not super proficient with the buddy press side of things but have done several integrations. What exactly are you trying to protect? Just specific pages?

Thanks for the fast response! I’d like anyone to view the groups page (https://www.mutlikeme.com/groups/) but not be able to view the specific group posts (https://www.mutlikeme.com/groups/alignment-get-a-mental-tune-up/) unless they are a paid member.

You aren’t going to be able to achieve that without manually adding the post to be protected each time it’s created, or tweaking something.

URI Protections are what are normally used here, but that would mean using /groups/ as the URI fragment, which would protect the groups page too. Wildcards don’t work with URI Restrictions, so that’s not an option either.

I don’t use BuddyPress, so I’m not familiar with how it works, but if you could create a sort of sub-category for all the posts, like /groups/posts/, then you could use that as the URI to protect, and it would leave /groups/ unprotected.

HI, Okay let me explain it to you in detail. My website is a free membership website (no form of payment, just a free membership site where my colleagues can register and chat in groups for free).

I have s2member Pro, buddypress and bbpress installed.

S2member Pro= handles registration form. there is a restricition in the forum page which redirects you to either register or login before you can access the forums and its working fine( I HAVE DONE THAT ALREADY). During member registration, theres a field i created for year of graduation. lets say for a example you choose 1991 as your year of graduation, then you finish your registration and logged in.

Buddypress= BP handles my group forums and i have groups forums 91, 92,93 and so on. I want only users that graduated in 1991 to have access to only group 91. Users that graduated in 1992 to have access to group 92 only. users that graduated in 1991 should not be able to access 92 groups and vice versa.

BBPress: My bb press handles sitewide forums and general chats which is already accessible to every logged in member.

Please how can I tweak both or either s2member pro and/or buddypress to achieve this results?
