Description
BuddyPress introduced functionality in v4.0.0 to allow users to export their WordPress data.
If you navigate to "My Settings > Export Data", you should see a page that resembles this:
https://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/1/2018/11/data-export.png
However, it's currently blank as our bp-nelo theme uses an older BuddyPress format. I'll add support for bp-nelo, but do we want to disable this functionality on the Commons?
Marking for 1.14.6 so I can add this functionality to bp-nelo, but we can bump to 1.14.7 if we need to disable this.
- Status changed from New to Staged for Production Release
I've added support for the "My Settings : Export Data" page here - https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/7585f063146210ccd2cbdad2d4f0c733bb503ec7
One thing I didn't think about is the WordPress export data functionality only supports one site at a time.
Since BuddyPress piggybacks off of WordPress, BuddyPress only handles the main, root site for WordPress content like posts and comments. If a user is expecting that the data export includes all of their WordPress blog content from all their sites, this currently is not possible.
Good catch, Ray!
I wouldn't worry too much about the all-content-from-all-sites bit right now, though it's a good feature for WordPress itself to implement :-D
- Status changed from Staged for Production Release to Resolved
Wow, Ray. I'm excited to learn about this functionality. It seems pretty big, both for user requests that come in but also for potential GDPR compliance.
