BuddyPress.org

Maybe this is also covered by #1 but I think @shanebp ‘s blocking a member would be awesome as well as @r-a-y ‘s plugin to keep non-friends from sending private message’s, I also liked @modemloopers extended settings plugin when it was free. Overall I really would like to see privacy features taken to the next level. Me being a novice at coding though, all I can do is make suggestions and hope the real coders take the idea and make it a reality! Thanks!

@brashell61 as posted in WP Forums, You’d have to make the group private. Then you would need a custom plugin created for joining a group via password.

Good morning @bphelp,

thanks four your reply :). I checked if there is some white-space (you mean in the design.php am I right?). Here is the code of the design.php – I think the problem is, that the design.php starts with the following code:

<!doctype html>
<?php global $theLayout, $theHeader, $themePath, $theFooter, $body_color, $header_color, $footer_color;?>
<!–[if lt IE 7 ]> <html lang=”en” class=”no-js ie6″> <![endif]–>
<!–[if IE 7 ]>    <html lang=”en” class=”no-js ie7″> <![endif]–>
<!–[if IE 8 ]>    <html lang=”en” class=”no-js ie8″> <![endif]–>
<!–[if IE 9 ]>    <html lang=”en” class=”no-js ie9″> <![endif]–>
<!–[if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]><!–> <html class=”no-js” <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <!–<![endif]–>
<head>
<?php get_header(‘default’);?>
</head>

Do you think that’s the problem? If yes, do I have an chance to get a workaround with this?

Thank you

Hi @bphelp,

first I want to thank you for your plugin :).

I have one problem with it and I think it belongs to my theme and my not existing php-skills :). Perhaps you can help me? I was searching for a solution the last two days, but without success. So I will try my luck here.

I tried to activate the plugin over wordpress and in a second step I copied the needed code to my child themes functions.php, but I always get the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at …/wp-content/themes/theme/design.php:2) in …/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876

I found some solutions for such errors, but nothing works for me.

Many thanks in advance

Since your site was compromised, and you are the resident expert with your configuration, we rely on you to fill in any gaps that you can.

If you get to the point where you’ve identified a clear and repeatable security issue with WordPress, BuddyPress, bbPress, or any other plugin, let is know by checking out the following page:

https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Security

Thanks, and good luck.

As Boone told you already, there are no known security issues with BuddyPress.

@skibler Line 24 in private-community-for-bp.php shows all that gets blocked. I can’t replicate your issue in explorer, firefox, chrome, and safari. Do you have other plugins installed? What theme are you using?

Thanks, I have your plugin installed and activated. It is only blocking the “Members” page and not the “Activity” and “Groups” pages when logged out. Is there something else I need to modify in the PHP file to block those?

Thanks!

@ skibler I can’t replicate the issue. Try deleting the code used above and downloading the plugin zip here:
https://github.com/bphelp/private_community_for_bp
install like a plugin. Then change the line 27 in private-community-for-bp.php to where you wanna redirect too.

Thanks bphelp, I used the code and have success except for in IE 8 the “Groups” and “Members” tabs are not working correctly – they are defaulting to the page I have set up for the redirect.

This is only happening in IE. I have tested in Chrome, Firefox and Safari with success.

Please help!
