TastyKitchen is a highly customized site but you can achieve very satisfactory results for your business directory idea with the Buddypress Links plugin:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-links/Or you could dig in and learn about custom post types:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types
There’s also a pretty good plugin for creating custom post types. I’ve played with it (not extensively, mind you) and it works well:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/Add the following to your theme’s style.css (you’ll find the Repro theme designer was thoughtful enough to include a section for Buddypress at the bottom
)table.forum td img.avatar {display:none;}
Check out this page of the codex to learn how to change any and all messages/labels in BP so they stay changed, even when you update your install (which won’t happen if you simply edit the text in the templates):
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/@pinhit
Glad it finally worked out for ya!
Dirty hands are fun

Didn’t you already set member profiles to show only to logged-in users? The whole profile section (including the header) is being hidden whereas only the profile activity streams should be hidden. Check members/single/home.php for the code you added earlier, and comment it out or remove it temporarily to see if the display looks better.
You can achieve that with a membership plugin. A quick search of the WordPress repository will turn up several: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=membership
My personal favorite is s2member… it does everything, and then some!
:https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/You really are struggling with this one, aren’t you? One of the important things to look out for is being sure your “if” statements are properly nested.
To mimic the functionality of the site you linked to above, open activity/activity-loop.php and paste the first part of the conditional (the if, message & else) immediately AFTER the following line:
“Close the conditional (the endif part) immediately BEFORE the following line:
“This will display your not-logged-in message to visitors everywhere the activity stream is displayed: in the main stream, as well as in profiles and groups.
Those are valid points. I also tend to open off-site links in new tabs (especially when researching, scrounging or learning new code bits
), so I can jump between sites without losing track of previously visited stuff. But, as you say, members of older generations (like my step-mother), or those not-too-tech-savvy (like my employer) can get confused when windows open automatically and overlap each other.It’s also true that this should be left to the user to decide. I agree, if links are set to open in new windows/tabs, this MUST be indicated to the user with a text message or icon.
You’re welcome

Oops! You have a duplicate post that is answered here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-section-as-private-section-of-wordpress-site/The s2member plugin will do everything you want, and a whole LOT more too! Watch out though, you can easily get lost in all the features and options, so take it slow and follow the startup instructions closely. But everything is very well documented, and there’s a pretty good help forum available if you get stuck.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/There is also a new bridge plugin for s2member (or any other membership plugin) that enables you and your users to create private profiles that become visible to certain membership levels. It automatically inserts an “Upgrade” link in member profiles that displays to users who don’t yet have view permissions.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profiles-manager/Check out this thread. You can adapt the code provided for xprofile fields by simply replacing the ul class with `table.profile-fields`.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/make-drop-down-menu-links-open-in-new-page/There are also several plugins that might get the job done too, but you may have to fiddle with them. Search the wp repo for “Open external links in a new window” for a few examples.
Umm… this is your 3rd post asking pretty much the same question that was answered here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/members-privacy-how-can-i-hide-members-profiles/ Creating multiple posts on the same topic isn’t going to get you help any faster; it just tends to clutter up the forum.
The conditional code provided in the thread I linked to above will get you what you want. It’s now a matter of learning about Buddypress file/template structure, and educating yourself on how WordPress and Buddypress work to understand how and where to use the code snippet. To help in this regard, links were also provided to the main help sites (codex) for both WP and BP in one of your earlier posts, along with a suggestion by hnla for a site where you can get basic coding help.
Time to hunker down and get your hands a bit dirty! Besides, learning new stuff can be a lot of fun

Congratulations… it’s a beautiful theme! Sleek, fast and uncluttered. Love it

That depends what exactly you are trying to restrict. Do you want to restrict those funky View Permalink pages to logged-in users only? Or do you want to restrict the entire Activity Stream to logged-in only? If the latter, do you also want to restrict Group Activity… the list could get quite long

I replied to your identical query here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/members-privacy-how-can-i-hide-members-profiles/#post-102533BP & WP do not assume you are a computer wiz kid, but basic coding knowledge is a must if you”re developing a site.
For help learning html, css, php, etc, start here: http://www.w3schools.com/default.aspFor help with BP: https://codex.buddypress.org/home/
For help with WP: https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page@nuhammadrid
Try wrapping the code in the plugin’s main file with a conditional so it only executes on the main site.
“
Or you could do something similar to exclude selected sites. Check the codex for available tags: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/
The file you want to edit is members/single/home
Make sure you edit the file in your child-theme, not bp-default, or you will lose your changes when you update Buddypress.
Add the following just after the opening padder div tag (change the text to suit your site/users):`
`
Then add this to close the conditional just before the closing padder div tag:

Sometimes, you just have to get your hands dirty to get stuff done

@aljuk Same problem here, and your solution worked. Thanks

@kevbow If you’re running Firefox (and I hope you are
), go to Tools > Options and click Remove individual cookies. Scroll until you find your site name, open the folder and scroll again until you find bp-activity-oldestpage. Highlight it and click Remove cookie. Done.Before you can create blogs, you need to create a network on your WordPress install. Here’s how:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_NetworkThe plugin only styles the adminbar on the main site of the network. On all sub-sites or blogs, the default adminbar styles are inherited so it will look just like here on bp.org.
It would actually be very cool if users could have options to change background image or color, either just in their profile or, click, apply the change to the whole site.
This looks like it’s gonna be one of those oh-so-popular goodies by Brajesh!
