Hi Folks – It’s come to our attention that the users pages are being indexed by google and are also visible to anyone who is not logged in.

I’ve done lots of googling and can’t quite find what I’m looking for.

I need to make sure that everything about the user is private and only logged in members can see.

I tried the below – but it only stopped the activity page – not the profile or forum page. I would love some clues if anyone has any! Thanks

//Add a function to hide buddypress activity page from non-logged in users
/* Prevent logged out users from accessing bp activity page */
function nonreg_visitor_redirect() {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() || bp_is_group_forum() || bp_is_members_component() ||bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {
if(!is_user_logged_in()) { //just a visitor and not logged in
wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/wp-login.php’ );
}
}
}
add_filter(‘get_header’,’nonreg_visitor_redirect’,1);

To prevent indexing by google, you need one or more robots.txt files.

Re private – Have you tried this plugin ?

hi @shanebp – thank you I will tend to the robots.txt. I had not heard of this plugin – I’ve just installed it and it does exactly what I need.
Thanks
