BuddyPress.org

Please put this code in your bp-custom.php

function buddydev_hide_members_directory_from_all_except_admin() {

	if ( bp_is_members_directory() && ! is_super_admin() ) {
		//should we add a message too?
		//bp_core_add_message( 'Private page.', 'error' );
		bp_core_redirect( site_url('/') );
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_template_redirect', 'buddydev_hide_members_directory_from_all_except_admin' );

That should do it. Hoe it helps.

@fearthemoose, @rezbiz,

Here “the best guarded secret” finally revealed !
But it’s not a secret, is part of Codex and a multi handled topic subject on this forum.

What we want to do: remove access possibility.
Where: on BuddyBar navigation menu (the one below the profile header).
Specifics: make the activity and forum tabs only visible to the logged in user.

NOTE: The activity tab is shown by default when you visit a profile.

As we are going to hide/remove this tab to visitors, we need to define as first another default tab. If we won’t do that, the visitor will get a Page not found error. Which is not exactly the case here, the page exist but the visitor can’t access it.

Let’s define arbitrary Profile as the new default tab. You can of course define what ever other existing tab on your BuddyBar as default.

Add this line to bp-custom.php
define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT','profile' );

Now the mega “open secret” !

The folowing snippet contains almost any BP menu items you can have on a BuddyBar, and includes also the Forum item, in case you use bbPress.
You can remove or comment out those you don’t want to use.
Note also that it is only an example – you have to play with it to fit your need. But at least you have the right syntax to use.
Note also that some profile menu items are user only, such as message or notice. In other words, these are always private.

This function goes preferably to bp-custom.php

function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
global $bp;
	 /**
	 * class_exists() & bp_is_active are recommanded to avoid problems during updates 
	 * or when Component is deactivated
	 */

	if( class_exists( 'bbPress' ) || bp_is_active ( 'groups' ) ) :
        
        /** here we fix the conditions. 
        * Are we on a profile page ? | is user site admin ? | is user logged in ?
        */
	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() && !is_user_logged_in() ) {

        /* and here we remove our stuff ! */
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'activity' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' );
	}
	endif;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );

Some other hints for privacy
if you want to allow only the profile owner to view some tabs, replace
!is_user_logged_in by !bp_is_my_profile() – this scenario doesn’t need a check for logged in users as it is made by bp_is_my_profile.

If you want only to make a profile private, read here.

If you want to remove a sub-nav item (ie. View on Profile), you use something like:
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'profile', 'view' );

Many other possibilities for navigation are also available, including for groups. Several examples are given on Codex, here.

And if not enough, RTFM and search the forum ! 🙂

Have fun !

I’m unable to reproduce your issue on a single install with over 20 plugins active and plenty of custom functions active in bp-custom.php
I can upload medias without problem with different 3th party themes or Twenty’s

Try to upload a fresh copy of WordPress and BP and see if it makes a difference.

Now about the snippet.
It works more or less, no code error. You commented the action, so it is deactivated if someone copy/paste it without correcting this.

That said, what is the reason behind using a redirection to login if the site, or at least the buddyPress parts, should be private ?

Wouldn’t it be more logic to redirect visitors to an anonymous page with some important information, from which the first one could be Sorry, but this site is private ? Followed by some informations how to register or pay a fee or whatever the reason.

A private site has two type of visitors: those invited to join and the others. Don’t give the opportunity to those who are there by chance to enter the site so easily.

I let you think about this and eventually create an appropriate page and template.
Here a code example redirecting to a page called Intranet and the correct calls to slugs for all components (including bbPress).

function bpfr_guest_redirect() {
global $bp;
// enter the slug or component conditional here
	if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) || is_bbpress() ) {
	
// not logged in user are redirected to - comment/uncomment or add/remove to your need
		if( !is_user_logged_in() ) { 
			//wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') ); //back to homepage
			//wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/register' ); // back to register page	
			wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/intranet' ); // back to whatever page
		} 
	}
}
add_filter( 'get_header', 'bpfr_guest_redirect', 1 );

Add it to child-theme’s functions.php

Hi,

the logout link is redirected to the same page. If you’re on your profile notifications screen, which is only intended for you, it is normal that when you logout from there, you’re redirected to a page not found message. Notifications is even private and not public.

The solution is to redirect to an always public part of the site on logout.

Add this snippet to child-theme’s functions.php

//* Redirect WordPress Logout to Home Page
add_action( 'wp_logout', create_function( '', 'wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit();' ) );

Advice 1: use preferably the login widget, so the user stays on the same page where he attempt to login instead to be redirected to that boring wp-login page.

Advice 2: on the Home (which is the member directory), you have all BP pages listed at the bottom. Remove them ! You certainly don’t need to give access to account activation or register page to your visitors…

Hi,

you can try to remove the private message button from the template or hide it with CSS.
And add a custom one who leads to admin inbox.

The link should look like
http://your-site.com/members/YOU/messages/compose/?r=THE ADMIN&_wpnonce=an_alpha_numeric_value

See here how you may code this

Codex and Forum are your friends to search about template customization.

Hi !
How could this have happened ?
Are you sure you clicked on private message and not on public message ? Or have you checked the option
This is a notice to all users ?

But no worry ! To delete this notice, go to your profile, click on Messages > Notices and delete the message from the list.

According to your specifications:

1) We would like that user after purchase of one of those services could access to a private page where he can manage what he have purchased.

2) We would like to have freedom to put personalized content on user private pages.

3) We need in particular that a user could use a contact form tu send us extra information on services configuration.

Solution:
1) woocommerce + some page privacy settings
2) wordpress configuration
3) a contact form ?

I would say you don’t need BuddyPress for that. Confirmed by your statement:
We don’t need to have interaction between user, like a forum or a social network.

Read about BuddyPress.

You’re welcome. 😉
In case of, here’s another trick.

We’re cross-posting ! 🙂 Hope you can follow !

– As non logged visitor, when i’m on a user profile who hasn’t set anything i don’t see Private.
– If i’m on a profile having a friend privacy setting, i see it.
– If on a profile set for “only logged in users”, i’m redirected to register.

Is it appearing all the time for you?

Yes !

If i see a direct access to a functionality like Add as Friend on the profile header, why would i go to a tab labeled Private to do that ? That’s not very logic imo.

When i go to a profile, i see the header first and (depending whats used on the site) a more or less long buddynav menu. 😉

No worry about the notice. I don’t activate wp_debug on a production site.

hi @fencer04,

thank for sharing your work. Well done, but it needs some revision (sorry).
At his activation on 2 test sites (one with 4.5.3/bp 2.6.1, other 4.6/bp2.6.2) i got a notice.
Array to string conversion in buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-core-nav.php on line 279from

sbpp04_privacy_check( )	..\plugin.php:525
sbpp04_privacy_redirect( )	..\buddypress-profile-privacy.php:176
bp_core_remove_nav_item( )	..\buddypress-profile-privacy.php:184
BP_Core_Nav->delete_nav( )	..\bp-core-buddybar.php:798

Another point concerning UI/UX is the Private button appearing on buddybar.
On this tab, a default message says Friends Only.
USERNAME has chosen to limit profile access to friends only.
That’s wrong! Because this appear on each profile, even if the owner hasn’t setup anything about his profile privacy.

So far i understand its fonctionality, this plugin let each member decide to show or not his whole profile page to friends or members only or to everyone (bp default).

– imo this tab should show “This profile is private” to anybody who is concerned by a privacy setting and should not appear at all if “Everyone” is set.
– the original BP Add as friend button on profile header or members directory is still there. This means that there is no need to go on Private tab to ask forfriendship.
This is a little confusing !

If the plugin is to extend profile settings, it should appear in profile settings only. And as it doesn’t superseed BP, there is no real reason to give him an extra tab on buddybar outside of the settings scope. A template notice could be enough to tell visitors what’s going on on such a profile.

Just my 2 cents.

No that’s not possible.
Only Me is very private and visitors or logged in members can’t see the profile in this case.

Wich file format do you use for your list ? Where is this list taken from: wordpress, private list,… ?

Pehaps you could use this plugin if you used CSV ?

For more details, check on WP codex how to achieve this task. BP shares users with WP and is not concerned directly by your question.

Try this:

function mohammad_remove_private_message_button( $button ) {
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();

    if ( $user_id == '37' ) // the user ID
	$button = '';

     return $button;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button', 'mohammad_remove_private_message_button', 1 , 1 );
