BuddyPress Deactivate Account 1.2.6
Description
BuddyPress Deactivate Account is a WordPress plugin for BuddyPress-powered social networks that lets members temporarily deactivate their profiles. It solves the common privacy need of giving users a way to step back from social activity without permanently losing their information. When an account is deactivated, the user’s activity and visibility are hidden so others can’t see their presence. Reactivation returns the profile to the network when the user is ready again. This lightweight approach helps keep your community experience clear, respectful, and user-controlled.
Designed specifically for BuddyPress, the plugin fits into existing community workflows and focuses on a simple, user-friendly deactivation/reactivation control. That makes it easier for users to manage their participation while preserving their profile data for later use.
