Thank you for that, Venutius. After a good night’s sleep and some more playing around, it dawned on me that I don’t have to put all of the BuddyPress links in the main menu, especially since they are linked to from profiles. However, all those links I mentioned are still visible by logged out viewers, ie, .com/members/ .com/activity/ etc. Is there a way to block these pages from public view?
@shanebp: I don’t understand. Why are all the BP pages listed as options for only logged in users in the Menu widget except for the Members page (and Register and Log in, ofcourse)? I only want logged in members to see the member directory, for the sake of the privacy of my members. I can add the page via the regular pages menu, but then it is visible in the menu to everyone even if they are logged out. Or if I go to http://www.site.com/members/ when not logged in, the page with the list of members is visible. I would like the members directory to be private. I don’t understand why BP left this out of the menu for logged in users only. If this is not possible, is there a way to block the /members/ page from the public that won’t mess anything up?
In fact, I just checked all the logged-in links in a different browser that I’m not logged in to, and the members, activities, groups, friends and profile pages are ALL visible! Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of having a membership community that requires registration????? At least messages, notifications, and settings are locked. Am I missing something?
