BuddyPress.org

Add this to bp-custom.php https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/bp-custom-php/
and it will prevent non-logged in users from accessing BP pages.

@billgates82 you should always start a new post rather than tack onto an existing one that may seem to cover the same issue.

As in the post above yours consider looking at the S2 member plugin.

hi to everybody;

I have a BuddyPress Community that I’m building that’s based around a rather sensitive topic for my users and as such I need to make parts of the community totally private and not accessible by non logged in users.

I would like guests to be redirected to a page/message that requests login/sign-up before proceeding to the following parts of my community:

mysite.com/members
mysite.com/activity
mysite.com/groups/

However, I like guests to be able to freely view public blog and public content.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

I’ve also run into this… it’s not clear from the debugging page if a resolution has been found though?

>>users cannot communicate with, see each other, or even know other users exist). Only the admin will have the privilege of viewing profiles or commenting on users’ blog posts.

@bg01 As I see it, you don’t even need BuddyPress especially with the configuration you posted above.
– Just create a network (go multisite)
– allow students to create own blogs or create the blogs yourself and add student/user per blog
– make all sites private (Super Admin can see anything and everything)
– post comment on each student’s blog post.
If you have any issues with your multisite installation, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Alternatively, you can have one single WP site. Make it private, no feeds. Set access of all posts in front end and back end to Site Admin and respective post Author in custom WP theme. Only Site Admin can post comment in all posts.
If you have any issues, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

Hi

Can make a plugin for Buddypress so that the forum sends private messages to group users. This will then cause the notification system to pick up the message and show it in the grey WordPress/Buddypress notification bar. Your forum notification problem solved for only £15.

Let me know if you are interested and we will build it

I would say sure no prob unfortunately though the role I played was suggesting that when a new topic was posted a private message is sent to the members. The actual implementation was done by my developer…will see if I can get him to post a how to here.

We found a solution of a sort.

What you need to do is include an automatic private message send to all group members except the person posting the topic. This private message then gets hooked in to the notification system and lets the user know they have a new message.

Thanks, great job @dwenaus

For buddypress specific pages see this thread:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/private-community-with-public-wordpress/
For post and pages you could try this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-members/

This is a public help forum you shouldn’t really be soliciting private help, all help here is on a volunteer basis.

Have you actually bothered to contact Continuum author yet as has been suggested once or twice now? It has been strongly suggested that it is actually a theme issue so it is down to the theme author to try and help really.

We can try and help but frankly have probably exhausted the limits to which we can.

On the duplication issue, there was another thread in which this was happening so I suspect that there is a common cause involved that is being induced by some themes – an extremely long shot but there have been occasions where members loops duplicated odd members this nearly always resolved down to Caching plugins, you shouldn’t be running any until such time as thought necessary on a production site but in case you are deactivate them.

@modemlooper I have installed the Buddypress 1.7. Before I installed it, I was having problem with sending Private Message, so I was hoping it will be resolved. However, the problem still persist. When my users and I send a Private Message, it indicate message: No data received…..Unable to load the web page because the server sent no data. Yet the user receives it. I have deactivated all my plugins except buddypress still I encounter the same problem. I change my theme to bp-default theme, yet the problem still persist. I even uploaded a non-buddypress to take advantage of the 1.7 feature but the problem still persist.

I am at my wits’ end here. Please can you help or suggest an approach for me.

Shalom

Also, how can I hide the Activity pages etc. until the user loggs in?

Read my reply in the following thread to accomplish this.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/private-community-with-public-wordpress/

@bphelp I do believe I have it now. Yes, my butchered theme that I’m learning on was sending off errors. I enabled the BP-Default Theme and we’re good. I have the BP navigation tabs going to the Sample Page.

I knew you had it right, but I didn’t understand and I didn’t know my theme was causing errors. I use this site for practicing, then I implement the changes that work back to my new site: http://www.gumpolen.com

Thanks,

Kevin

That sounds more like your theme is shooting off errors. Try activating the bp-default theme and see what happens. also make sure there is no extra lines before or after the opening and closing php tags in the bp-custom.php

did you add the code to the bp-custom.php you create in yoursite/wp-content/plugins? did you remember to add the code between opening and closing php tags and save the file? I have it working flawless on wp 3.5.1 and bp 1.7 beta 1. for example this line:
wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/register’ );
redirects to register page
you could for example change it to something like this:
wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/sample-page’ );
that would redirect to the sample page.

@bphelp I missed my greater than sign in starting out the page. Now your code doesn’t show, but when I log out, i get an error across the top of the screen instead:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/*****/public_html/inlandcoder/wp-content/themes/frisco-for-buddypress/members/index.php:12) in /home/*****/public_html/inlandcoder/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876

@bphelp I tried this and when I refreshed my site, all of your code appears below the admin bar on my site — above my header.

I created a new page and named it “new page here.”

Here’s your code with my info:

function bp_guest_redirect() {

global $bp; if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() /*|| bbp_is_single_forum()*/ || bp_is_forums_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) { // enter the slug or component conditional here if(!is_user_logged_in()) { // not logged in user wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/new-page-here’ ); } // user will be redirect to any link to want } } add_filter(‘get_header’,’bp_guest_redirect’,1);

Am I to insert my URL as well? I tried with and without changing it and that didn’t work either.

Kevin
