I also use BWP-recaptcha for my other blogs on the network, so I can access the pub and priv keys from there, like so:
global $bwp_capt;
$publickey = $bwp_capt->options;
and
global $bwp_capt;
$private_key = $bwp_capt->options;
That way the keys are kept in one place.
The only problem I have with this is in Firefox I need to add css to put the div in the right place:
#recaptcha_widget_div {
clear:both;
}
does the trick.
@pinhit Kenny this is what I mentioned on your other thread and is now an example of where there are too many posts revolving around the same question 
. This solution (read the whole thread linked to above for full understanding) will work to limit access to directories or in the version above it permits access to specific pages and if not in that list of allowed directs to the signup page. I think this is your best solution rather than to try and restrict drilled down aspects of pages.
I’ll close the other thread as it is redundant now.

Derived from the above link, I use the following in a bp-custom.php file to exclude users that are not logged in from seeing the activity or members areas.
function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) )
return;
if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .'/'. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( 'get_header', 'sh_walled_garden' );
In bp-custom.php the above needs to be placed in a plain text file with “ at the end of the file….
Yep, was a disaster. I cannot understand whats happening with buddypress at all. Tried updating and didnt change a thing. Now at least the site is active again. Im getting globalgold to run a backup restore to the 28th. Hopefully I can work from there.
@pinhit the expresion ‘lever advise’ is not a good choice of terms nor is ‘misguided ‘ the support forum is voluntary; people help out where they can, there is no SLa that advise is correct it’s the best that a member might be able to offer.
If you have found your own solutions to problems then that is great and you are on the road to learning – keep it up.
As for the question I’m afraid it is pretty much a repeat it’s in essence the same question as follows: “how can I restrict views of a particular page/element/component”. The code was provided that enables this , there are many conditional template tags that allow for simple logic queries such as “is the user logged in? then allow else send them elsewhre or post a message” you will use the same process for different situations.
However you may benefit from simply blocking logged out users using a small snippet of code that I think was named ‘Walled garden’ or something similar.
@hkcharlie bp-social theme is a premium theme and we’re not privy to the template intracacies of that theme without purchasing one. You should be able to get free support for the paid theme.
@mercime it wasn’t installed at all… now thats confused me!
Go to Admin Dashboard menu Plugins > plugins and you’ll the list of plugins and descriptions. Go to Buddypress and note the version number stated in description.
@pinhit
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
what about https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-activate-users/ WP Activate… i feel its slightly buggy with buddypress, but it does the job… problem is sometimes… if the refresh button is pressed multiple times on the user account confirmation screen… then the user gets created multiple times … but if u approve him once in wp activate.. the user doesnt go away… he still remains.. check it out though.
HI @mercime
I can’t seem to find it. Which plugin would it be displayed on? The updates screen says that all plugins, themes and wordpress is up to date?
Thanks for the response!
many thanks @hnla
your a star 
sorted !!
Welcome Pack should do this (default friend, I think it’s called). I am aware I have been negligent with regards to updating Welcome Pack, and I will be doing so once BuddyPress 1.3 goes beta (couple of weeks or so, max).
@javhy
Congratulations… it’s a beautiful theme! Sleek, fast and uncluttered. Love it
@kelky7 go to your plugins page e.g. http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php and the version number will show up there. It does look like you’re using the old version of BP. Recommend that you back up your DB and server files then upgrade to 1.1, then to 1.2, 1.2.5, then to latest BP 1.2.8 version.
That’s changed today. Not sure why to be honest, trying trial and error….the destinations have been confused somewhere. Could be janrain…thanks for letting me know though.
I’ve tried the bp template pack process but it doesnt seem to work. I installed the plug-in however it did not bring up the appearance options…so I moved the files manually and it hasn’t worked.
Sorry its not an easy solution! Thank you for your help so far though. Im running a standard wp theme. How would I find out what the BuddyPress version is? Im pretty sure it is 1.0-RC1.
Sorry, Im all new at this!
