Hi I’m quite new to WP and BP and would like to know the best way to make a private community.

Basically, I’d like:

• non members should only see a login/home page with no registration options.
• non members can not see any posts, usernames or anything else related to the community.
• all new members can only be created by admin.
• all logged in members have full posting rights.

Is this easily achieved? And what’s the simplest approach?

Cheers

@vegaskev
I packaged a similar version that does the same thing for the people who prefer a plugin solution. Feel free to try it. Just download the zip file and install it like any other plugin.

Heads up! The plugin doesn’t work for my site: http://www.bobyorke.com

@mr_yoshimura ‘heads up’ ? how is this helpful or informative? what doesn’t work? What, if anything, have you done to try and narrow down the problem, do you need any help from the community to try and get it working or see what your issue is with it?
