Hi I was just wondering to know how can I make a front page in buddypress which will disable anymounous to see other users stuff?

also I installed the default theme of buddypress but 1.) I was wondering to know how to add a sidebar on the left side of it and also how to shrink the header box.

at last just to let you all know i tested the theme in several browsers and it looks a little different I wonder if any one has a solution to that?

You can do a user check in the template file if you want using this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in

Maybe that would be a good starting point for you?

Adding a sidebar would require you to change the width of the content div and then also add in another get_sidebar call. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/buddypress-default-theme-12-add-more-sidebar-column/ is a good starting point.

As for changing the header – do you just want to change the header or the entire content area as it’s set to the full width of the site?

okay buddy for the first step as for disabling non-users to see other contents what I meant was something exactly like facebook like how if I am not your friend on facebook I won’t be able to see your photoes, comments or whatever, so basically I want to leave it up to my users to allow or disallow public to see their stuff but as of right now when I go to my website even if I am not logged in if I go to the pages I have created I can see all comments and so on. so I don’t know how to make this to the point that for example I just would have a login page and everyone would have to login into their own account to see the navigation bar.
