BuddyPress Deactivate Account GPL v1.2.4

BuddyPress Deactivate Account GPL Overview

The BuddyPress Deactivate Account plugin allows users on BuddyPress-based social networks to deactivate or reactivate their accounts. This gives users the ability to temporarily remove themselves from the community without losing any data, offering flexibility and control over their presence on the site. Site admins also have the ability to deactivate, reactivate, or block users from logging in, providing a powerful tool for managing user accounts.

What It Does

This plugin allows users to deactivate their accounts, effectively making them invisible and inactive within the community, while preserving their data for future reactivation. Site admins can also deactivate accounts, block users from logging in, and manage account statuses, ensuring full control over user activity and visibility.

Key Features

1. User-Controlled Account Deactivation/Reactivate:
   • Users can deactivate their accounts whenever they wish and reactivate them later without losing any personal data or content.

   • Site admins can deactivate or reactivate user accounts from the admin panel, giving them control over user activity and participation in the community.
3. Block User Login:
   • Admins have the option to block deactivated users from logging in, preventing access to the site until the account is reactivated.
4. Automatic Logout on Deactivation:
   • When a user deactivates their account, they are automatically logged out from all devices and sessions, ensuring they cannot access their account until reactivated.
5. Automatic Account Activation on Login:
   • Admins can configure the plugin to automatically reactivate a user’s account upon login, allowing for a seamless re-entry into the community.

When an Account is Deactivated

• Limited User Activity: Deactivated users cannot perform any actions on the site, including posting updates, commenting, or interacting with other users.
• Hidden Profile: The deactivated user’s profile is hidden from all other users, ensuring their activity is not visible.
• No Social Interaction: Deactivated users cannot send or receive friendship requests or private messages.
• Login Restrictions: Deactivated users cannot log in to the site, if the admin has enabled this option.

Ideal Use Cases

• Temporary Absence: Perfect for users who want to take a break from the platform but may want to return later without losing their content or connections.
• User Management: Useful for admins who need to deactivate or block users for moderation purposes, while keeping the option for reactivation open.
