I have these two links:
http://www.DOMAIN.com/members/USERNAMES/groups/ – Appears under buddypress in the menu- (and)
http://www.DOMAIN.com/groups/ – Appears under pages in the menu –
I have the first one available to the registered users and it disappears when the user signs out, however, the second one doesn’t disappear when a user signs out. I am willing to make the second link unavailable when a user signs out. How to do this?
Thanks
@jessicana,
if you allow group creation to your members, they can do so by going to group directory.
The “create group” button is in the group header.
Once created, the member see on his profile, a tab named My Groups (or Groups) with a counter. On the tab, the group list created by him.
-> When users are logged out, they have no access to the Toolbar or to the Create Group button on the group directory.
This is so by default. Any other behaviour can be considered as theme related (for ex. if you use a theme specifically designed for BuddyPress). IMHO rare, but can eventually exist.
You can hide the Toolbar to logged out user in the buddypress settings.
About BP/WP jargon:
the Toolbar is the wordpress black toolbar at the top of the site.
the User menu is the menu at the top right corner, under wp’s Howdy
the buddymenu is the bar under the page header and before the page content. Depending the context (page, status), this menu bar has an associated sub menu.
What I have done is that I used a plugin that hides the admin bar for all the users (logged in and logged out) and users can’t see or use the toolbar. When the user is logged in, s/he can see the profile link in the menu which takes him/her to the default buddyPrss profile and s/he can start from there. That’s why if create group exist under the profile tab (without admin) it would make my life easier.
The theme I am using is not helping me to go around this and that’s why I was thinking of using a different theme that is BuddyPress ready.
