BuddyPress Member Blocker v1.2.0 – User Control & Safety

Is your BuddyPress community facing difficult interactions? Give your members the power to curate their experience with BuddyPress Block Users!

The “BuddyPress Block Users” plugin (GPL v1.2.0) is an essential tool for any WordPress site administrator fostering a safe, respectful, and user-centric BuddyPress environment. This powerful plugin introduces a highly requested social feature, allowing your members to easily block other users they prefer not to interact with. Say goodbye to unwanted friction and hello to a more peaceful, empowering community experience.

Empower Users with Direct Blocking Capabilities: This plugin integrates a straightforward “Block” option directly into user profiles. With a single click, a user can prevent another member from:

• Sending them private messages.
• Viewing their activity stream or profile content.
• Sending them friend requests.
• Seeing their presence in groups (configurable). This direct control empowers users to manage their interactions, reducing negative experiences.

Significantly Enhance User Safety and Comfort: Protecting users from harassment or unwanted attention is paramount. By providing a self-service blocking mechanism, you significantly enhance member safety and comfort. It offers an immediate solution for personal boundaries, reducing the burden on admins for common interpersonal issues.

Seamless BuddyPress Integration: Developed with BuddyPress at its core, “BuddyPress Block Users” integrates flawlessly with your existing social network. The blocking functionality appears naturally within user profiles, messages, and activity streams, providing a native experience. It works harmoniously with BuddyPress’s core functionalities without conflicts or performance issues.

Improve Community Moderation and Reduce Admin Load: While empowering users, this plugin also aids administrators. By enabling users to handle minor conflicts through blocking, you reduce direct moderation requests. Admins can also view block lists and use blocking as part of a broader moderation strategy for persistent issues.

Flexible Admin Customization: You, as the administrator, retain control. The plugin provides instinctive admin settings allowing you to:

• Enable or disable the blocking feature.
• Define specific user roles that can use the blocking feature.
• Control the scope of blocking (e.g., messages only, or full profile invisibility). This flexibility ensures the feature aligns perfectly with your community’s unique guidelines.

GPL Licensing: Freedom and Transparency: As a GPL licensed product (v1.2.0), “BuddyPress Block Users” offers you the freedom to use, modify, and distribute the plugin under the GNU General Public License. This commitment to open source ensures transparency and provides complete control over your software.
