@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?

Any one tried this one? http://www.envolve.com/plugins/buddypress-chat-plugin.html

Has both private and public chat. Looks like you need to pay if you want it to pick up buddypress usernames etc…

Hello,
Great Code, but it unfortunately doesn’t do exactly what I want to do just yet.
I am wondering if something is possible. I am trying to create a site that is private to all non-users and directs to a page stating it is Private only and asking them to contact me on directions to register (hopefully through facebook connect).

In my site, on the left sidebar are the login fields and a FB Connect button.
However, I also do not want anyone to be able to register (unchecked “anyone can register” in the wp admin settings). I basically want to approve the user as they try to fully register.
Is this possible?

I found, anytime I try using your code along with the register box unchecked, an infinite loop happens. I was also thinking, even if it did work, I’m still out of luck b/c I tried using the invitation code checker and that plugin doesn’t seem to work on the news BP and WP.

I also tried using the private BP plugin and that doesn’t seem to work with FB connect.
Any suggestions?
Thank You!
