You should make a child of bp-default and backup files and db just in case…

You don’t add or remove any pages from the code. The point is that it works from the built in wordpress default menu system. ( https://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus )

To get the second menu to appear – In your child theme’s functions.php file add:
`function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus( array(
‘primary’ => __( ‘Header Navigation’ ),
‘secondary-menu’ => __( ‘Alternative Menu’ ),
‘another-menu’ => __( ‘Another Menu’ )
) );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_my_menus’ );
`

You shouldn’t touch wp or bp core files.

What theme are you using?

In your child theme’s header.php file you replace the `wp_nav_menu` section with either of the above ( not both ).

Then you can define two menus on appearance > menus ( primary and secondary-menu on the above example ) Set one for logged in users and one for everyone else.

One way of doing that is by serving different menus depending whether someone is logged in or not such as
`
<?php
// https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_current_user
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if ( 0 == $current_user->ID ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘secondary-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
// Not logged in.
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
// Logged in.
}
?>
`
or another approach:
`
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘secondary-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
}
?>
`
replacing the `wp_nav_menu` bit in the ( child ) theme’s header.php file. It may need adapting depending on theme etc. Remember to make backups before editing!

Then use the walled garden or similar techniques to redirect users if they try to reach the page directly…

I’m really sorry for dragging up an old thread but I just cannot get this to work! I also want to hide the home tab and make the forum tab default in the group pages.

I’m running WP 3.3.1 and BuddyPress 1.5.4 and have tried every code on here to no avail! Any help would be huuuugely appreciated!!

Thank you very much!

A child theme uses as it’s core the parent theme, it references any template pages you copy over from parent theme to child theme. The child theme files are used in preference to the same named file in parent theme likewise any functions files are read in order of child theme first then parent theme. All you need for a child theme to work is the style.css file with appropriate header block.

I would follow mercims advise to copy over header.php and simply remove the physical markup or enclose it in php comments, display: none simply hides the visual display but doesn’t remove markup so technically it’s still there.

On Buddypress > Settings select No for Hide admin bar for logged out users?

There’s also a year-old solution which you might want to check out https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-buddypress#post-1796598

I added a custom menu (from WordPress) and select only the pages I wanted to be there. This is a quick fix but I think if somebody knows the URL it would still be accesible. I’d like to see a plugin or something to hide the members page from anyone.

Cheers !

@modemlooper, maybe it’s there as a placeholder for future functionality? IMHO at the moment, providing a “template” option across all Pages (incl. Component pages), is somewhat misleading.

So given your last post, are you saying that I could hide the sidebar through code in my child’s style.css? If so, how would I do that? If not, which files and how should I do it? I can figure out how to change the width on the “content”, so that shouldn’t be an issue. Sorry about asking so many questions. I am still pretty new to this. Thanks.

FYI: I’m running BP 1.5 Beta 3

Actually, component pages use their own template so won’t work. Without editing templates you can hide sidebar and change page width with CSS

@christophg Sorry for the delay in getting the registration/profile idea to you. Here is what I do:

I use S2member to keep my customers and brands separate. I then created a new profile group called “Company Profile”. I made this the last profile group. I then added the following code to the file:
members/single/profile/edit.php

`
<?php if (S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL

ul.menu li:last-child{display:none;}
.company-profile{display:none;}

`

The above code hides the profile group on the edit menu from users below level 2, my brand level. And it also hides the profile group edit fields from anyone below level two. In case the menu item shows for some reason. And, unfortunately, this will not hide the menu item from users in IE 8 and below. But it WILL hide the profile group from them.

I tried using jquery to affect last-child in IE. Although I can get the jq to work on a test page on IE, it won’t work on the menu item… not sure why.

Next, my brands all belong to a private group, and I use a group conditional script to show the brands profile info front and center on their profile page with custom styling. This allows the brand members only to have a slick looking page that is different from regular consumer pages.

`

`

Let me know if you need anything else. Or if something doesn’t make sense.

In case it helps there are options to the above you could try; you can add:

bp_is_directory() to allow access to all the main BP dir pages ‘Activity’, ‘Members’, ‘Blogs’, ‘Groups’ but trying to drill down any further on links in those pages would result in redirecting to register page:

`if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_directory() )`

@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.

Okay, I gotcha. In order to place pages before the default buddypress menu tabs, you need to modify your theme’s header.php file. Look for some code that looks like this and paste it just after code that looks something like this <div id="header"><h1 id="logo"><a href=&quot;" title=""></a></h1>

Now your pages will appear before your buddypress menu items. If there something specific you want, you can just hard code in the header.php file with good ole fashioned html.

Oh, and that Exclude Page plugin will allow you to easily hide pages you create from being added to the menu.

I know I`m tooting my own horn here , but my BuddyBuilder theme enables you to allow user access to individual BP components and WP pages/posts depending on logged-in/logged-out status. It also provides an optional Site Lockdown feature with/without a Splashpage on the frontpage, and an optional custom redirect page if Site Lockdown is enabled. See the bottom of the right-hand column on this page for all the Privacy features available: http://buddylite.com/buddybuilder-options/
