BuddyPress.org

the “maintenance mode” plugin has always worked for me and definitely blocks all pages (bp included) for all non-admins given the correct settings

anyone tried the addthis social signin with buddypress yet? does FB Twitter and G+. i use their link sharing plugin and was planning to try out the new signin plugin asap:

please have a look on the link, i want to show u my problem, Thanks

As @sheffieldlad suggests, wp-fb-autoconnect delivers a good off the shelf solution, and provides some integration with BuddyPress profile fields

[ note: wp-fb-autoconnect is a facebook only solution, and everything is installed / controlled on your site; Pro version is a one off payment. Loginradius is a SaaS solution, with monthly payment plans to enable full features, remove labelling, etc. If you want a full SaaS solution, you should also look at Janrain, Gigya and Oneall. ]

Look through the BuddyPress code. The core components extend a class BP_Component. You extend this class to create your own components. In folder bp-groups you can see how the groups component is being created and use it as an example.

Further, just had a quick look at the db, seems visibility levels are saved in the wp_usermeta field bp_xprofile_visibility_levels. Buddypress reads this field and enforces the policy there, so even though you have changed the site wide policy it still enforces the per user settings (if that makes any sense). What you need to do is update each users policies each time the site wide is changed. The plugin was only ever supposed to be an example on how to do it so I don’t think it is robust enough for a live server.

Use the Groups extension api

Cool, thanks JJJ.

I’ve added an article to the codex:
`https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/`

Anyone, feel free to edit!

Another simpler approach would be to created a bp-custom.php and place it in the plugins directory and add the following code
`<?php
function bp_guest_redirect() {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() /*|| bbp_is_single_forum()*/ || bp_is_forums_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {
// enter the slug or component conditional here
if(!is_user_logged_in()) { // not logged in user
wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/register’ );
} // user will be redirect to any link to want
}
}
add_filter(‘get_header’,’bp_guest_redirect’,1);
?>`
This code will work to hide buddypress pages and group forums as is, if your using sitewide forums in line 4 remove the comments around:
|| bbp_is_single_forum()
Save and refresh. Works in current versions.

* Backup your database (you may need to restore if migration fails)
* Disable BuddyPress’s Forums component
* Tools > Forums > Import
* Choose bbPress1
* Run the converter
* Visit Tools > Forums
* Run all of the repair tools (most likely one at a time)
* Visit Settings > Forums
* Make sure “Enable Group Forums” is checked
* Make sure the BuddyPress root forum is correct
* Done

It should be possible with 1.6. You’ll need to remember to turn off the “Forums” component in BuddyPress (wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress). I am not totally sure of the steps to do the migration; I’ll ask JJJ if this has been documented.

You can choose the my friends option to at least block all fields to a users friends. You can also look over @boone code to add your own visibility options. https://github.com/boonebgorges/bbg-custom-bp-field-visibility

Hi,
I think that this link will help you. Have a look at this http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/

Hi Shane
If you ask my personal choice, I will go with subdirectory. But it does not make much difference.

Since you are just planning to install buddypress, you just need to follow the first 2 steps and not worry about the other steps in that guide.

I haven’t seen a better guide on thing thing though.

If the xprofile fields(custom profile fields) are not appearing, you may want to modify this in your code
`

`
to
`

`

That should make them appear.

Hi Shane,
You can install buddypress on secondary blog and use it as private network.

Here are some details on configuring BuddyPress on secondary network
https://codex.buddypress.org/users/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

and you can use any of the wordpress privacy plugin to make this network private.
Hope that helps.

Not aware of any tools to export BuddyPress data out of WordPress yet, unfortunately, other than a SQL export from the database.
