Homepage issue, help please

Hey everybody
When somebody visits my site, they are able to see the default tabs: Activity, Forums, Members, etc and browse through these subtopics.This is certainly not a desirable feature for the social networking site i am building.

What do I change so that only logged in users can see this complete menu-bar, but, ‘new’ AND logged-out users see only the ‘home’ or ‘about tab’ ?
I do know how to change the static page,that is not an issue.
I am using BP version 1.2.5.

Also, what does it mean when a plugin is documented to be ‘compatible’ with a certain version, say 1.2.5 ??
Will it not work correctly with 1.2.5.x , 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 ?

To remove the default tabs, you’ll need to modify the theme.

Read this page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Then, once you’ve got the hang of that. Copy over /bp-themes/bp-default/header.php to your new child theme and modify the tab structure.

The function you’ll want is:
`is_user_logged_in()`

Wrap a is_user_logged_in() conditional around the tabs you want to show only for logged in users.

Something like this:

`

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

<li class=”selected”>
<a href="//” title=””>

`

Note that if someone knows the URLs to those tabs, they’ll still be able to access them.

You might want to look into some BP private plugins like:
