If you create a hidden group, only group admin and invited members of the group can access these pages.

I mistakenly posted above, we are using “database” caching. Object caching did not work for us and caused many problems with others seeing other users names appear when viewing private messages as well as other object cache related issues.

I just changed a group from “private” to “public” and all the posts went away. I went back to “Private”, and they came back.
Hmm…

I tested this on my site.

I have a private group with all the activity stream posts, so I set it to “Public” and they all did indeed disappear.

Private Community plugin forum.

There are many different privacy and/or membership plugins for single or multisite installation. Just search for them in WP repo under privacy or membership

I have the same situation. I think I am going to solve mine by using private groups for each set. I haven’t actually gotten there yet, so not sure how well it will work.

W3 Total Cache is developed with Dedicate hosting or VPS hosting on mind.

That is not true. W3 Total Cache said, “Compatible with shared hosting, virtual private / dedicated servers and dedicated servers / clusters.”

With a Shared hosting, most of the advantage of W3 Total Cache are missed out.

Can you elaborate what are missed out?

But since my site is under developing

You don’t have much traffic that is what shared hosting is for. Do you know how to pilot? There is a learning curve to optimizing your site.

@Travel-Junkie Thanks for the code. I know it will help me achieve what I want.

But my challenge is that I know nothing about coding. I have succeeded in locating the functions.php and have opened it in order to edit it. My question is where in the whole code will I place the code you wrote. Is it at the beginning or end of the code.

I am planning to use this code below

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )
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’ );

Please, I will appreciate you help. I am a complete WYSIWYG person but I can follow simple instructions as regards code.

Thank you in anticipation.

Lumenbeing, the answer is yes, in my experience. I am testing WordPress MultiSite with BuddyPress on a Dreamhost setup. I did install by uploading via FTP, not via the one click, but for whatever reason, none of the BB Press tables were created in my database. I tried applying the patch in Paul’s post above, but that wasn’t enough and uninstalling and re-installing the forums via the Web still didn’t help.

I went through the MySQL statements in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-admin/includes/defaults.bb-schema.php and was able to create the tables manually in the SQL dialog box in phpMyAdmin. You do need to make sure you fill in the database names for the variable $bbdb in each statement
ie: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `$bbdb->forums
needed to become
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tablename_bb_forums`
But I am now able to use the forums for public/private/hidden groups as I expected they would work.
I do suspect this is a server issue and perhaps a MySQL version issue as well. I can’t imagine why none of the tables would be created, otherwise.
Hope this helps further the conversation.

got the same problem with you jordynn, private messaging, profile and friend connection sends me to full list of members directory. using also yahoo web hosting.

Various people have experienced problems with Yahoo Hosting:

Closing thread.

No plugin really at the moment.

I would sent it out as a Private message, or Notice to all users.

Are they enabled in the buddypress Admin Section?
