[Resolved] Hiding Groups, Activity & Members List to Non Members

I love buddypress. I love it so much that i want to take it behind my school and make it pregnant. But i have an issue now.

I want to find a way which I can hide the groups, activity and members list page from all non members by redirecting them to another page.

I used to use member-access for all my other sites but this time, I cant seem to get that plugin to work with buddypress. It just does not work at all.

Can someone help me in laymans terms find a solution to this?

PS: I have other pages on this site that I do not want to hide from non members. I have also tried that restrict pages plugin and that does not work either.

OK. So i found a partial solution.

I tried adding the below pasted snippet to my bp-custom.php file inside my plugin folder and it worked for the activity page. I dont want to sound like a complete noob but can someone tell me how do i replicate this for the members and group page?

I tried variations of the code to support _groups_component and _members_component but that didnt work.

/* Prevent logged out users from accessing bp activity page */
function nonreg_visitor_redirect() {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_activity_component() ) {
if(!is_user_logged_in()) { //just a visitor and not logged in
wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/wp-login.php’ );
}
}
}
add_filter(‘get_header’,’nonreg_visitor_redirect’,1);

So you tried: bp_is_groups_component() and bp_is_members_component() ?

Use pastebin to post the code you tried.

Untested!
```
/* Prevent logged out users from accessing bp activity page */
function nonreg_visitor_redirect() {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() || bp_is_group_forum() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {
if(!is_user_logged_in()) { //just a visitor and not logged in
wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php' );
}
}
}
add_filter('get_header','nonreg_visitor_redirect',1);
```

Negative on the love making but you could donate a beer or two! Or a McDouble even!

This has been very helpful and I was able to use it to restrict access to member info but the forum stuff is still visible.

I have a site that has some non-BP pages – just generic stuff – that I’d like to leave public but want to redirect non members to the registration page when they try to access the forums.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just to clarify…

I would like all the “regular” pages visible to the public.

All my BP stuff that resides in mysite.com/forums would redirect for anyone not logged in.

I hope this makes sense.

Untested, also if you are using sitewide forums remove the comments from:
/*|| bbp_is_single_forum() || bbp_is_single_topic()*/
If you are just using group forums leave the below code as is:
```
/* Prevent logged out users from accessing bp activity page */
function nonreg_visitor_redirect() {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() || bp_is_group_forum() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) || bp_is_profile_component() || bp_is_forums_component()/*|| bbp_is_single_forum() || bbp_is_single_topic()*/{
if(!is_user_logged_in()) { //just a visitor and not logged in
wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/register' );
}
}
}
add_filter('get_header','nonreg_visitor_redirect',1);
```

Thanks so much for your help! This is closer.

How do I keep non members from seeing the list of forums?

(And for my own education…how can I find a list of “components” to include/exclude”? I looked in the bp-core-templates.php file but couldn’t get the code to work.)

Hi I’m wanting to just hide member profile pages, but keep all other BuddyPress pages public. I tried this code in my bp-custom.php, but it doesn’t work. Any ideas?
```
/* Prevent logged out users from accessing bp profile pages */
function nonreg_visitor_redirect() {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_profile_component() {
if(!is_user_logged_in()) { //just a visitor and not logged in
wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/register' );
}
}
}
add_filter('get_header','nonreg_visitor_redirect',1);
```
