Thank you all for the help!
Okay, here’s the bizarre thing — I created a new user account and logged out to test its functionality. After I did this, I got the new_member redirect page exactly ONE TIME for every single BP page. So one time, it would prevent non-logged-in me from accessing Recent Activity, but if I tried again, it would work from here on out. I think there must be something going on with respect to how often the function is being called, and perhaps how my server is cacheing sites. Should I try placing a function call somewhere else, like in the theme or somewhere that is likely to be checked every refresh? Thank you!
