BuddyBoss Profile View Limiter

The bboss_track_profile_views() function is designed to limit the number of profile views a user can perform daily on a BuddyBoss-powered WordPress site, based on their user role. Once a user reaches their limit, they are redirected to an upsell page. This functionality helps in controlling the site's bandwidth usage and encourages users to upgrade their membership for increased access.

Features

  • Role-Based Limitation: Limits are applied based on WordPress user roles, allowing for flexible configuration.
  • Daily Reset: The view count is reset daily, ensuring users have consistent access based on their role.
  • Custom Redirect: Users who reach their view limit are redirected to a specified upsell page.

Requirements

  • WordPress 5.0 or higher
  • BuddyBoss Theme or Plugin

Installation

  1. Open your WordPress site's functions.php file or create a custom plugin.
  2. Copy and paste the provided bboss_track_profile_views() function into your functions.php file or your custom plugin file.
  3. Save the changes.

Configuration

  1. Set Role Limits: Modify the $role_view_limits array within the function to define view limits for each user role. For example:
$role_view_limits = [
    'basic' => 5,
    'contributor' => 10,
    // Add other roles and their limits here.
];

Customize Redirect URL: Change the URL in the wp_redirect(home_url('/silver/')); line to the desired upsell page.

Usage

Once installed, the function automatically tracks and limits profile views based on the user's role. Users attempting to view more profiles than allowed will be redirected to the configured upsell page.

Daily Reset

To reset the view counts daily, consider implementing a WordPress cron job that clears the view count meta fields. This is not included in the function and requires additional setup.

Customization

The function can be extended or modified to include additional checks, messages, or logging functionalities. Adjust the role limits and redirect URL as needed to fit the specific requirements of your site.
