Sorry for the confusion. In testing, I reverted back to the stock, default theme to make sure there wasn’t anything else at issue. That worked, so I then made the update to functions.php and header.php in the Cosmic Buddy directory, and it now works properly. Fortunately, I’m doing all this on a test install, so it’s some good lessons learned!

Thanks for your help!

Ok, I got it to work. I added this…

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )
return;
if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .’/’. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( ‘walled_garden’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );

…into /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php

and added…

…into the top of /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php

So far, so good!

As far as I recall, everything is “stock” except for me inserting the above function code into the end of the /wp-content/themes/cosmicbuddy/functions.php file.

Should I be adding the function code to the functions.php file in the /wp-content/themes// directory?

[jbarr]

Just to clarify, the function code above is added to the functions.php in the theme’s directory (for example, /wp-content/themes/cosmicbuddy/) and NOT in the /wp-includes/ directory, correct?

The added function is at the bottom.

I am using the CosmicBuddy BP theme.

[jbarr]

when I add the function to functions.php in my theme directory, when i navigate to any page of my site, it just comes up blank. Suggestion?

It looks like you have a solution, so for those of us who need some additional coaching, can you please explain how to implement it?

I just love what BuddyPress has to offer, however for privacy reasons, on the site I’m developing I need to hide several components like “Activity” and “Members” when a visitor is not logged in.

Thanks!
