Additional info. I’ve see that other membership plugins say that they work (i.e. Members Only and DAP to be spicific) Since these are both subscription sites, I want to know that someone has experience with applying them to Buddypress before I take the leap. After my unsuccessful attempts with WP-Members.
If anyone has any Free ways I would love to know, If there are only premium ways, that is fine, I just want to make sure it integrates.
Thanks!
Couldn’t you use something like travel-junkie’s walled garden technique:
`
function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) )
return;
if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( bp_get_signup_page() );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );
`
This goes in bp-custom.php and hides members and activity from those not logged in but enables forums and groups for everyone. It can also be customised…..
if you want complete private community I used the code of david carson described in this thread:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-frisco-for-buddypress-login-in-home-page?replies=18
here is the code you need to paste in a bp-custom.php in you plugin directory.
Note: that not logged in users are redirected to slug/register page, you have to change it if your register page has a different URL.
‘<?php
// **** Privacy ********
function restrict_access(){
global $bp, $bp_unfiltered_uri;
// If user is not logged in and
if (!is_user_logged_in() &&
(
// The current page is not register or activation
!bp_is_register_page() &&
!bp_is_activation_page()
)
) {
// Redirect to registration page. Change /register to your register page slug
bp_core_redirect( get_option(‘home’) . ‘/register’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘restrict_access’, 3 );
