Actually, if you can do it as a universal function, I can probably convert it to a page-specific function myself (I’ve actually split the main activity stream into five separate pages with different scopes on my site already). I could send you my set-up, but it might be better to do it privately, as the site contains some nudity. 🙂

This blocks BP pages from logged out visitors. See the readme.txt in the plugin for forums.

@modemlooper removed buddypress extended settings from the repo and made one premium plugin called BuddySuite that has more features than the plugin that was in the repo. I think this also covers adding the profile menu to the main nav as well You can get it here:

For the private community you can get that here:

Cheers!

I actually think this should be a core feature ans simple on/off setting in BP.

however there is a plugin to do that, which i havent tested https://github.com/bphelp/private_community_for_bp

Sounds like your theme is throwing an error not the plugin as I have double checked that there is no whitespace. You need to check your theme for any whitespace lines before and after the opening and closing php tags and remove it. As far as modifying the plugin see line 24 in private-community-for-bp.php and change it from this:

if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() || bp_is_group_forum() /*|| bbp_is_single_forum() || bbp_is_single_topic()*/|| bp_is_forums_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) || bp_is_profile_component() ) {

To this:

if ( || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {

I have similar problem. When a user invite someone to his group the other user don’t receive any notification. I think this is a bug. I’ve also tried default theme, but still it doesn’t work. 🙁

This small plugin makes all buddypress related pages private and redirects logged out visitors to the register page. Read the readme.txt and study the comments in the plugins private-community-for-bp.php if the default functionality does not meet your requirement then you can edit it to do so. Get it here:
https://github.com/bphelp/private_community_for_bp

See my response here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/terms-of-agreement-checkbox-for-registration/
You will need to write a page of your Terms Of Service and you can add a link in the profile field description that would link to that page. After you create the page just copy the permalink under the Title and then paste it into the field description. For example:

<a href="http://your-site/terms-of-service/">By checking the Terms Of Service Box you have read and agree to all the Policies set forth in this sites Terms Of Service</a>

Of course this is just an example. As far as making buddypress only visible after they register you can use the technique above in combination with this plugin:

Make you to read the readme.txt in this plugins folder as it has some info regarding forums.

+1, looking for the same thing. Ideally, the autocomplete functionality shouldn’t even be loaded if Friends is disabled (as it is now, I mean).

I use a child theme derived from the default team, only changing the visibility of the menu as explained in //https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-hiding-navigation-links-for-buddypress-pages-for-non-registered-users/
When I use the default theme as such, it still doesn’t work.
I also tried to change the user’s role to author; still no luck…
