BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress has a API that you can use: https://codex.buddypress.org/component/private-messages/

You can hook at the WooCommerce actions when sending the emails and send your private messages.

Hope that helps! 🙂

Have you tried: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-simple-private/ ?

You can also get it from PhiloPress.

There is a plugin called BP Simple Private that allows you to restrict access to all Buddypress pages to logged in users only. Then, if people try to visit Buddypress pages after you install the plugin, they will get redirected to the home page.

But if I’m understanding you wrong – and you want to have a separate site just for your buddypress groups, then I will recommend setting up WordPress Multisite.

And if I’m understanding you right – which bells and whistles do you want to disable? I’ve disabled a few things with CSS & PHP hacks – but like what do you want to see gone?

BP Simple Private

Have you tried: BP Simple Private ?

To prevent non-members from viewing the members directory you can use this plugin:
BP Simple Private

You could probably run a cronjob to remove various activity items and private message threads if they’re older than a certain interval.

Of course, this would need to be custom-developed.

Private messaging in BuddyPress is persistent (saved to the db). There is also “flash” messages but these are stored as a cookie and are removed after the page request.

The widget’s ajax call does not check to see who is viewing it.
So only public groups will appear; hidden & private groups will not appear even though you are a member.
You could write your own widget that uses the logged-in member’s id.
Use the group widget code as a reference:
buddypress\bp-groups\bp-groups-widgets.php

Hi @arbolife any chance you even vaguely remember what you did to get new user activation email being sent out when using WPML + BuddyPress? Like you, everything works 100% correctly on the ‘English’ side when new users register, requests membership for a private BP group, logs-in, etc – BUT if a user registers on the french registration page (fr/register/) they never get any emails (I they are foever listed as “pending” in the user area). I’ve also noticed that no emails (outgoing) get triggered if an existing user switches to the /fr/ side & tries to join a private BuddyPress group. Trying to access the /fr/wp-login.php page (or the password reset) from the /fr/ side will also trigger a 404 page. So, like you mentioned, it’s a setting “somewhere” in WPML to resolve these (many) anomalies, but for whatever reason, I can’t see to find the resolution!

My test setup:

WP: 3.7.4
BP: 2.8.2
WPML: 3.7.0
BuddyPress WPML Plugin: 1.5.5.1

Being a premium theme the best thing to do is contact their support team. Unfortunately, because the SocialChef theme’s code is private there’s not much we can do here to help.

you can hide Rss feed link from public to private.

There is nothing like this. Would make a great plugin. BuddyPress allows people to request group membership for private groups. Change a group to private and the “join” group button becomes “request membership”

auto join plugin based on role https://www.buddyboss.com/purchase/buddypress-auto-group-join/

The easiest way to do that would be to set up Private Groups, then manually control the membership list of those groups. The main activity feed becomes the public space, and the groups unlock more content.

A more extensive answer is a plugin like https://s2member.com/ which integrates with BP and adds more of what you are looking for.

pretty sure the first three things you mention could be done with bp – depending on how you want the ‘private content only available certain users’ – may be easy (profile field marked as ‘friends only can view’ – however if you mean private content like pics or something… I believe it gets much more complicated, and if you want to restrict by different roles other than friends or public..

you might want to experiment with wp and “s2 member”.. “press permit core” or the wpmudev membership plugin or some of the others.

the ‘automatic sending of emails when profile field changes’ – no idea how that would work with any of those systems – although someone that knows php and wp could probably whip up something custom for that with wp or bp – I am not aware of anything like that happening out of the box with bp… and I have not searched to see if there are any bp plugins that get into that..

of course bp is free to play with so it wouldn’t hurt to put it on a new site and experiment – but I would bet the amount of time you spend trying to make it do what you want it do is not trivial.

others may have different thoughts on all that.. I’ve just a user not a bp dev.
