Hi, recently worked on a datingsite, and a school intranet for BP and scanned 6 month of Getting BP private. Have a lot of notes -and one popped up when reading this post:

http://picklewagon.com/wordpress/new-user-approve/

“When a user
registers for the blog, the user gets created and then an email gets sent to
the administrators of the site. An administrator then is expected to either
approve or deny the registration request. An email is then sent to the user
indicating whether they were approved or denied. If the user was approved,
the email will include the login credentials. Until a user is approved, the
user will not be able to login to the site.”

Try this as a start – didnt remember if I have (Went trough TONS of solutions of reg process, but I saved this link so maybe its useful…), The fix might be to preserve the passwords somehow instead of autocreate them when aproved.

/ Maybe gonna share my solutions later for the BP datingsite – lot of privacy filters and hooks…

You want something like a closed beta. http://codecanyon.net/item/closed-beta-wordpress-plugin/3395536

I am looking to do the same thing and installed WP-Members. I find that it allows me to moderate members signing up which is great, but even though I have it set to block all pages and posts from non-members they are still showing. I’m using the BP default theme.

Anyone have suggestions?

hi to everybody;

I have a BuddyPress Community that I’m building that’s based around a rather sensitive topic for my users and as such I need to make parts of the community totally private and not accessible by non logged in users.

I would like guests to be redirected to a page/message that requests login/sign-up before proceeding to the following parts of my community:

mysite.com/members
mysite.com/activity
mysite.com/groups/

However, I like guests to be able to freely view public blog and public content.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Add this to bp-custom.php https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/bp-custom-php/
and it will prevent non-logged in users from accessing BP pages.
`
/* Block BP Pages For Non-Logged In Visitors */
function bp_block_pages() {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() /*|| bbp_is_single_forum()*/ || bp_is_forums_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {
// add components to be blocked to non-logged in visitors
if(!is_user_logged_in()) {
wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/register’ );
} // Change /register to the page you want non-logged in visitors directed to
}
}
add_filter(‘get_header’,’bp_block_pages’,1);
/* End BP Blocked Pages */
/* Remove RSS Feeds */
function bp_remove_feeds() {
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_personal_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_friends_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_mentions_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_favorites_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘groups_action_group_feed’, ‘groups_action_group_feed’, 3 );
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘bp_remove_feeds’);
/* End Remove RSS Feeds */

@hnla ok, I understand.

@ skibler I can’t replicate the issue. Try deleting the code used above and downloading the plugin zip here:
https://github.com/bphelp/private_community_for_bp
install like a plugin. Then change the line 27 in private-community-for-bp.php to where you wanna redirect too.

@skibler Line 24 in private-community-for-bp.php shows all that gets blocked. I can’t replicate your issue in explorer, firefox, chrome, and safari. Do you have other plugins installed? What theme are you using?

I have the same problem with all my pages being visible, even though I blocked them through wp-members settings. I tried installing this plugin, but I still have all pages visible – but now they have error messages. I have tried several plugins to no avail – wp-members was supposed to block pages, but that doesn’t work. I also used BP-registration options, but it doesn’t work well. I am looking at possibly trying the bp-custom.php fix suggested here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/bp-custom-php/. I am not a pro – just looking for the simplest way to create a membership site and block pages from users who are not members and logged in. Would appreciate any guidance! Thanks!
