I am sorry, but I am having a hard time with finding the items to replace.
What I am willing to do is give you an admin login for my test site and allow you to edit the template files as you see fit to fix this issue.
So everyone does not get the test sites admin login details please send me a private message with the following desired details:
Username (required)
E-mail (required)
First Name
Last Name
Website
Password (twice, required)
Hi,
if i set in private, the simple users can’t read the posts. Requires that simple users can read but can’t answer.
It’s difficult :p
Is it possible to create another rank ?
Thanks.
Set the groups to private?
thanks very much chris im using the buddypress private community plugin but might take a look at that,it will be one less plugin thanks
Yes, Agreed. I have found posts about this going back 11 months and no one seems to see this as a serious detractor for Buddypress. A group centered plugin that is not actually focused on its members.
Anyone can see ALL public group activity whether they belong to the group or not. Simultaneously that same person cannot see any Private or Hidden Group activity even if they belong to the groups.
Activity should be for groups the person is a member of. Otherwise buddypress is just confusing.
Please let me know if there is a patch since this is really a bug.
Thanks – it escaped me they have their own support. I found a relevant post at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/private-forums#post-89112
Can someone tell me if there is a fix for this or if it is something that is due to be updated in a new release??????
Obviously, the best thing is to set up a test site with BuddyPress and see if it does what you want. I’d suggest using private groups (one per client / project). For document sharing within that group, see https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/
Sounds more like a question you should be addressing to bbpress support?
Hi there,
I’m not quite sure what you’re looking for, but if you want to make your complete Community private you can use the plugin “BuddyPress Private Community” or search for another bp privacy plugin.
I’m having issues with settin up a forum either.
Set up WordPress, installed Buddypress and first tried to get sitewide forums running. Kept getting the complaint that the forums component wasn’t set up yet, although I was quite sure it was.
Then de-installed bbpress and set up a groups forum.
I have a forum directory now, but when I want to create a new topic it says: please pick the group forum where you would like to post this topic. Although I just did in the little dropdown menu below.
I really, really would like to hav a step by step tutorial on how to set up a forum in buddypress, with a private community. One that fits the screens I see, because most blogs and tutorials about this look older and have losts of different screens and features.
Just remove the buttons in your theme templates.
Ha, I removed it at one point and now can’t remember how to add it BACK 
I did it in the theme’s CSS somehow…
Thanks for the help!
I added that code to bp-custom.php file but then when i go to my site it gives me a redirect loop error. Any idea why this is happening?
Here ya go. Add this code to your bp-custom.php file.

Just add “!is_page( PageID )” (with PageID as your tos page’s id) under “!bp_is_activation_page()”
@mercime This is the theme im trying to make work…

Its just the BP pages im screwed on…
The site is http://www.roadunit.com, but its private.

@4ella I am using Chrome as my browser, and I do have Firebug installed on it. I triiied playing with it and screwed up something thats making all pages in the “meta” bottom part of the BP pages.
UGH.
how can I email credentials to log in?? @mercime @4ella
Thanks for helping out
And a bit more —
I tried using buddy press GROUPS as a way to keep content ‘private’ from one group of students to the next. This works … but WP POSTS would no longer be a way to include content and as I mentioned POSTs are a great way to be able to post content, still images, and slide shows….
Any suggestions??
Hi Paul —
Thank you very much for the rapid reply. Yes — I would like to be able to have social networking type of on functionality on multiple WordPress sites in an MS environment.
I’m trying to create a kind of social networking environment to teach small private classes (in photography) in a single install of BD on a single WP site, I couldn’t find a way to provide students taking a particular class access to a private set of POSTS in a single install of WP, hence the leap into Multisite. Posts provide a much richer way for students and teachers to share rich media than spaces like Forums.
It sounds like I can’t get ‘multiple blogs’ in BP and can’t get ‘multiple’ social networking tools — beyond Forums — in a multi-site install — RIGHT?
I do NOT one to re-locate a single buddypress install, which is what I believed you referenced above in the post about secondary blogs.
Hope this is clear —
Please give me your best advise.
THANKS!
I looked at trying to accomplish my goal in a single site and
You can also reply to their hidden content from your profile page..! Anyone have a fix? I have searched and searched! Lol.
I have the same thing happening, they can’t get into the group to read the entire post but if they go to the following tab on their profile they can see the topics started and a brief bit of text.
Same issue. Can see hidden group activity on profile pages… Aye!
Yes. My sister told me (she’s not a member of the private group).. so I signed in as her and I saw the posts myself. You can’t see the group from her side.. but you can see the posts in the feed on her profile even though she’s not a member of the group.
Have you logged in as another user, other than as a member of the private group, to be sure this is happening?
@mercime
– WP/BP versions? WP – 3.3.1 / BP – 1.5.3.1
– Are you on Windows or Linux server? Linux Server
– Have you changed to bp-default theme? Yes… I tested a few themes.
– Have you deactivated plugins except BuddyPress to isolate issue/s? I have a total of 4 Plugins active… Better RSS Widget, Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, BuddyPress, Private BuddyPress… Originally I thought it was the Private BuddyPress plugin that was causing the issue. I deactivated it and the problem continued.
Thanks for your insight.
