I have the same problem. I am very interested in options for how to address this issue. A related problem is that posts in private groups show up the activity streams for the person in question and are indexed for the entire web to see.

I don’t remember how I did it, but I had to edit out the entire activity stream section in profiles to avoid the problem. Unfortunately, it is not possible to disable the activity stream module, since it is used by notifications.

moved the code to functions.php and it worked

ah. I turned on the php error messages, and got this one when I tried to edit a profile (one of the things which gives the white screen of death after enabling the landing instructions).

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /customers/8/9/1/gamephilosophy.org/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:14) in /customers/8/9/1/gamephilosophy.org/httpd.www/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 896

Anyone that might know what this means?

I have tried to deavtivate all the plugins except Buddypress, but the problem still persists. I could really need some help with this, as I have put a lot of work into this site, and this issue is preventing from doing anything furher, and a deadline is looming.

I’m back to exploring Buddypress, and I am experimenting with an install. I’d like to have a linkable public profile for the members without all this sort of information:

But only select fields (description, publications etc). I see a lot of technical info about customizing files etc when I search for this, some of it rather old. Is there perhaps a plugin that allow me to remove all this (to me) irrelevant information for non-logged-in users? It may well be there for the users when they are logged in. Perhaps it might be easier to simply create ordinary text-files for each user presentation that they can edit themselves.
