BuddyPress.org

It is activated by default. Each member can change preferences in member’s Settings > Notifications panel.

Do stick with the same topic thread for the same issue.

What @mercime said together with filtering `groups_valid_status` to only return public and private should do the trick.

try this one:

logged in users only, private site. code needs to go into a bp-custom.php in your plugin directory.

a solution without plugin for a private community, logged-in users only:
I used the code of david carson described in this thread:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-frisco-for-buddypress-login-in-home-page?replies=18

here is the code you need to paste in a bp-custom.php in you plugin directory.
(you have to create it if you don’t have it).
Note: that not logged in users are redirected to slug/register page, you have to change it if your register page has a different URL.


<?php

add_action( 'wp', 'restrict_access', 3 );

if you want complete private community I used the code of david carson described in this thread:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-frisco-for-buddypress-login-in-home-page?replies=18

here is the code you need to paste in a bp-custom.php in you plugin directory.
Note: that not logged in users are redirected to slug/register page, you have to change it if your register page has a different URL.

‘<?php

// **** Privacy ********
function restrict_access(){
global $bp, $bp_unfiltered_uri;

// If user is not logged in and
if (!is_user_logged_in() &&
(
// The current page is not register or activation
!bp_is_register_page() &&
!bp_is_activation_page()
)

) {
// Redirect to registration page. Change /register to your register page slug
bp_core_redirect( get_option(‘home’) . ‘/register’ );
}
}

add_action( ‘wp’, ‘restrict_access’, 3 );
‘

Try member access plugin. Thats what i use

jbsocial.com

I too am having this problem. I’m using a custom theme from RocketThemes. I looked in the member-header.php file and it has that line of code you listed.

On my member profile pages it only lists “Add Friend” Public Message” & “Private Message.”

I’m trying to find an answer to this myself. I read something, somewhere that I forgot to bookmark, that basically said this is working as intended. But it seems like massive design flaw. It seems as if it should be able to be fixed, since I CAN see all groups as Admin.

I’ve tried playing with stuff with user access plugins and I can’t find anything to toggle that helps. Assuming it is simply in the theme or plugin somewhere, but I can’t put it together.

Because that plugin hasn’t been updated since September 2010? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-community/

Please start a new topic for new or different issues?

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-private-community/home/ is listed as incompatible with 1.5+ in Aug 2011 on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/plugin-compatibility/ (although the error there is wrong) and doesn’t appear to have been recently upgraded

Can anyone tell us why this message appears after install in plugins>>>> Fatal error Call to undefined function bp_core_redirect() in /home/*******/public_html/*******wp-content/plugins/buddypress-private-community/mm-buddypress-private-community.php on line 386 ?? also crashes whole site…Thanks

WP/BP versions? Is this an old upgraded installation or a new installation? Have you tried basic troubleshooting like changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPres to see if issue is corrected?

>>> Right now I only have 2 groups, as the site grows users will be able to create their own groups and have a forum. The 2 groups I have is one for all users (I don’t want a forum for this group), and the second group is just for businesses that join the site. The business member group has a forum that I am only making visible to the business members.

If you do not want a group to have a forum, then do not enable the group’s forums in that groups admin page.

If you want to make the forum visible to only the business members group, then make that group a Private Group or a Hidden Group.

>>> … the forums page is showing.

Not clear whether you’re referring to the group forum or the sitewide forums page.

>>> How can I set the forums page to be the sitewide forums? I have the custom link in the navigation bar and that is fine.

Not clear. Do you mean that you want to use the “forums” slug for your sitewide forums?

>>> But in the community widget, there is a link for forums and I do not want that because it just takes you to an empty forum and I do not want them to use that for their reviews. Ideally I would love for that to go to the review forum. Hope this makes sense.

Not clear. Which community widget? What theme are you using?
