@mercime THanks ive turned off the Private Feature – that should open up the site 
@hnla Thanks for the tip – will do 
Any thoughts on this? anyone?
Please
Please share if you have achieved this.
regards
@shanebp, you are awesome : )
I just jumped into my ftp, located the function bp_has_message_threads() and trully there is a type param. And… the code you posted on top works like a dream : )
Thanks again.
See bp_has_message_threads() for type param. It defaults to ‘all’.
You don’t need to dirty hardcode anything – you just need (maybe) to write a custom query and call it from a theme file.
read/unread is stored in wp_bp_messages_recipients
Good luck
And did YOU look at the codex?
Ofcourse, it was the first thing I did when I discovered the problem. I’ve been heavy googling for one hour after I made this question. At the codex there is info that the olny accepted parameters are:
{user_id, box, per_page, max}. Perhaps “box=notices” would be some point of interest (can’t check now as I’m away from working env) but obviusly there’s nothing like type
And about: bp_message_thread_has_unread()
I don’t want to check if the message I get is unread or not, but I need to make this filter on the level of query ( not display ), so I am getting only unread messages, not ‘n’ number of messages from which I am displaying only those that are unread because either way I will not display all of them or I will have to query very big amount.
I see the great power of BuddyPress, but I’m pretty new in this system (it’s my second day ) and I’m jumping through files and functions looking for some clue. I could optionaly make it dirty hardcode, but then everyone in my team would push me to the pit of inferno
//EDIT
Anyway: Thanks for interest
Did you look at the codex?
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-private-messages-loop-bp_has_message_threads/
Try this to start your loop
`
`
I’m not sure if ‘type=unread’ is valid.
bp_message_thread_has_unread() returns true or false
So you can use it in your loop to decide whether to proceed.
Hello, I have the same problem, and I am using the default theme for buddypress, any ideas on how to fix this issue?
can anyone actually verify this plugin boone put up works? it appears to have the option but when i tested it the policy is not enforced and even logged out users can see the private fields on our site at least.
Im looking for the exact same solution… any progress on this????
hello i jumping on peoples tgs is the only way i can tal on here but ive got a nice tip for u ray if u can help me get my buddy press private community working
Try the pluggin “BuddyPress Private Community”
@chouf1 site is private, but I took a screenshot of the group forum topic I made for you as well as the screenshot of the config settings. I post code usually e.g.
[ sourcecode lang=”css” ] the code [ /sourcecode ]
or [ php ] the code [ /php ]
P.S. had to put the spacings between brackets or else it won’t show up here.

Do you have plugins other than BuddyPress installed? If so then try disabling each one until you find the offender.
Simpler way is to install wordpress access control, this adds a option to every page to make it avalible to be viewable by only vistitors, logged in users and even has a age control on it, you can all set a redirect page incase somone types in the url as this will also remove any page which is hidden from the viewer type from the menu, check it out its awesome

Try my plugin here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-friendpress/ see this is what your after. After installation, and activation go to dashboard/settings/ bp friendpress and change the setting to current user / friends activity. Just be aware it also make buddypress specific pages private so only members can view them. make sure to read the readme.txt regarding group forums or sitewide forums and make changes appropriately. If you do not want the buddypress specific pages private you can go in the bp-friendpress.php file and comment out the part that says “The walled garden.” Hope this helps!
The reason is that i want to understand why mysite.com/comments/feed/ contains only comments used in a private group. Despite this the feed is public.
While searching around this, i found what i mentionned above. Just curiosity in fact, to learn from.
Thank’s
Good call to everyone’s post on this thread. We develop online communities as opposed to social media networks. Our site members do not want a media feature. Yet it would be great to see it integrated into a future BP release. Maybe, private groups can have the option of using it?

Cool, thanks – admittedly, I’m a little intimidated modifying the theme code, or adding new plugins. But, I have been itching to get my hands dirty under the hood and learn how to do wordpress specifici coding, so this will be a good chance and resource to dive in. I might have to poke you later once I get this rolling. Thanks for your input Aces.
Sorry, it’s behind a private firewall. Users need to authenticate through our enterprise-wide authentication system.
Something that has just occured to me, with what I am trying to do.
Is it possible that we can make this happen for member list in Private groups only ?
or even friends within a private group
does anyone know if this plugin works well with current versions of bp or if there’s an alternative? i swear i read something about 1.5 having throttle settings but i couldn’t find anything looking around.
I’m having this same problem; I don’t know how it started, but threads are getting assigned IDs for deleted threads where the recipients are still in the database (same problem that was found in this trac entry https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3971)
I don’t really want to hack the core to fix it, I’d rather just do a SQL query to delete any recipients for threads that don’t exist. Are there any caveats in doing this?
Ooh, I just discovered that all the old messages don’t have a thread assigned, but they should! This happened during an upgrade from a much older version… I wasn’t involved in that process, so I don’t know quite what happened. I think I can reassign the messages their thread number by looping through the thread message_ids… Is it possible to do that with a SQL query or do I have to use PHP to get the IDs out of the array?
This must be why the new messages started assigning low value thread numbers. Does the new thread take it’s ID from the thread table or the messages table?
