Buddypress Members Only Free Plugin 3.3.3 Released

Hi Dear buddypress members only free plugin users, hope this message find you are doing well and have happy days with your family πŸ™‚

Sorry for the delay of the update work, we got COVID-19 and then we got many troubles in last months, we just released buddyrepss memebrs only free plugin for our users πŸ™‚

In buddypress members only free plugin 3.3.3, we added a new option: “Enable WordPress RSS Restricts” in buddypress members only RSS restricts option panel, it looks like this:

Buddypress Members Only WordPress RSS Restricts Settings

Buddypress Members Only WordPress RSS Restricts Settings

If you enabled the option “Enable WordPress RSS Restricts” in buddypress members only RSS restricts option panel, buddypress members only plugin will restricts wordpress RSS feeds too πŸ™‚

Why Buddypress members only pro admin need an option t disable the rss feed of wordpress?

In general, offer a RSS feed for wordpress users is a good idea, but for a members only site, disabling the RSS feed can help to increase the site’s security and private. By restricting access to a site’s content through the RSS feed, it can be more difficult for unauthorized users to access and distribute that content.

Additionally, if the site is subscription-based and requires users to pay for access, disabling the RSS feed can help to ensure that only paying members are able to access the site’s content. This can prevent non-memebrs from accessing the site’s content without permission, which can help to protect the site’s revenue stream.

Finally, disabling the RSS feed can help to control the distribution of copyrighted content. If the site’s content is protected by copyright, disabling the RSS feed can help to prevent unauthorized copying and distribution of that content, which can help to protect the site’s intellectual property rights.

Overall, disabling the RSS feed on a members-only site can help to improve the site’s security and privacy, protect the site’s revenue stream, and control the distribution of copyrighted content. πŸ™‚

 

We are start to develop new buddypress plugin now, for example, one of buddypress plugin we are developing is ban spam and bad users from buddypress social network, admin can select how many days to ban the user publish buddypress activity, you will see the new version in next week πŸ™‚

In last 10 years, buddypress members only is driven by buddypress users, the reason to add this rss restrictions module is because a user told us he is find a way to restrict the distribution of wordpress content and keep it within the boundaries of the original site,Β  if you have any more feature request or question, please don’t hesitate to contact us πŸ™‚

Thanks, have a good weekend with your family πŸ™‚

Best Regards,
