Title: Content type selection Last modified: November 20, 2017 --- # Content type selection * Resolved [Carsten Lund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsten-lund/) * (@carsten-lund) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/) * Hi, the content type selection drop down menu, and condition list seams more aimed for a forum based plugin like BBPress than for a social network plugin like BuddyPress. I really would like to see all BP components like private messaging, read and/or send as part of the restrictions. * Regards Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * Plugin Author [Joachim Jensen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/intoxstudio/) * (@intoxstudio) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-9704360) * The plugin supports restricting all custom post types, all custom taxonomies, and some plugin-specific content such as BuddyPress Profiles. It also supports all capabilities added by other plugins, and extending support for other plugins is definitely on the roadmap. * What plugin are you using for private messaging? If it adds any capabilities for WordPress, you should be able to permit/deny those for a given Access Level. * Thread Starter [Carsten Lund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsten-lund/) * (@carsten-lund) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-9704798) * Hi Joachim, I use the messaging system in BuddyPress, which are not restricted as I see it? * Plugin Author [Joachim Jensen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/intoxstudio/) * (@intoxstudio) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-9731143) * You’re right, my bad 🙂 * So you want to restrict sending/receiving messages, or do you want to restrict access to the Messages section of the User Profiles? * Thread Starter [Carsten Lund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsten-lund/) * (@carsten-lund) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-9731486) * Hi Joachim Preferably restricting sending and/or receiving messages but the possibility of restricting access to the Messages section in general, would also be useful. * Regards Carsten * Plugin Author [Joachim Jensen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/intoxstudio/) * (@intoxstudio) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-9758289) * I just tested this condition: * **BuddyPress Profiles: Messages** * This successfully restricts access to the Messages section, so that members without this level cannot access it. It will also redirect unauthorized users that click on the “Private Message” button. * However, it will not hide the “Messages” label from the profile. * Thread Starter [Carsten Lund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsten-lund/) * (@carsten-lund) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-9759932) * Hi Joachim, thanks for listening and for the effort of making the plugin even better, great work! I look forward testing the new condition in the next update. * Regards Carsten * Thread Starter [Carsten Lund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsten-lund/) * (@carsten-lund) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-9902331) * Hello Joachim, I was exited to see, if this new BuddyPress Profiles: Messages has been implemented in the newest update, but apparently not yet? * Would you please explain, once more, the “email” “read” and “unread” conditions under BuddyPress Profiles content? I do not know of any email in BP, but only messages, maybe my ignorance, but what does this condition restrict? * The same with “read” and “unread” if this is not concerning Messages? * Regards Carsten * Thread Starter [Carsten Lund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsten-lund/) * (@carsten-lund) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-9902425) * I found, what must be a small bug. In the Conditional logic section, the names of the added sections are all changed to [object Object] when updated. * Regards * Plugin Author [Joachim Jensen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/intoxstudio/) * (@intoxstudio) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-9907949) * Are you using any plugin that adds additional sections to the BP profiles? Could you try to clear your browser cache and try the conditions again? * The newest release made it easier to see hierarchical items in the conditions, but no change was made to BP restrictions. * If you select **“Messages”** as seen in this screenshot: [https://imgur.com/a/gYZwE](https://imgur.com/a/gYZwE) Then users that do not have that Level will not be able to access the **/members/** section of BP profiles. * Thread Starter [Carsten Lund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsten-lund/) * (@carsten-lund) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-10065038) * I do not have the “Messages” section in my BuddyPress content list as shown in the screenshot? * Regards Carsten * Thread Starter [Carsten Lund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsten-lund/) * (@carsten-lund) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-10065113) * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/a/DNm97) * Thread Starter [Carsten Lund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsten-lund/) * (@carsten-lund) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-10066291) * Hello again, you were right, two plugins were causing the problem. BP Messages Tool and BP Better Messages. Any chance Restrict User Access could be made compatible with these plugins? * Now the “Messages” is showing in the content list, that is so great! * One component I miss under “Messages” is the BP “Compose”component, which is restricting composing and sending messages. * Regards Carsten * Thread Starter [Carsten Lund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsten-lund/) * (@carsten-lund) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-10066338) * Hi again, one thing I do not understand is the “Messages” sub component “Inbox”, choosing “Inbox” also restrict access to the “Messages” in general, so “Messages” or “Inbox” makes same restrictions. What is the intention of this component? * A better solution for “Inbox” would be to show the inbox, but restrict access to open, view and thereby answer messages. * Regards Carsten Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) The topic ‘Content type selection’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/restrict-user-access/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1815922) * [Restrict User Access - Ultimate Membership & Content Protection](https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-user-access/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-user-access/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/restrict-user-access/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/restrict-user-access/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/restrict-user-access/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/restrict-user-access/reviews/) * 13 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Carsten Lund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsten-lund/) * Last activity: [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-type-selection/#post-10066338) * Status: resolved
