BP Block Users allows BuddyPress site admin to block users from accessing the site, either temporarily or permanently.
After installing and activating the plugin adds a “Block this User” checkbox to the users WordPress profile (Accessible via Dashboard>>Users>>All Users) along with a field where the admin can set the time when the block will expire, this can either be indefinite or after a number of minute, hours, days etc.
Having been blocked, a user who is already logged in will be logged out, and attempts to login to the site will be treated as failed login attempts.
Overall I found this plugin simple and useful, though I feel that a blocked user should have an explanation text displayed telling them they have been blocked, and if an expiration has been set then that time should be displayed. I give this plugin 8 out of 10 due to the lack of this information.
I've been setting up and managing BuddyPress social networks for a few years. I moved from Ning and other platforms and have come to BuddyPress looking to make sites with similar features to them.
BP Post Status adds three new Post Status options; alongside the usual publishing options, the post publishing box now supports Members Only, Friends Only and Group Post statuses, with Group Post providing a drop-down of available groups to assign the post to. It also adds a group posts tab in each group and provides the option to set a post as the group homepage.
BuddyPress Follow allows members of a BuddyPress social network to follow each other, it places follow buttons on each members profile and in the members page and adds extra tab's in each members profile page, one showing who is following you and the other showing who you are following.
