I know I`m tooting my own horn here , but my BuddyBuilder theme enables you to allow user access to individual BP components and WP pages/posts depending on logged-in/logged-out status. It also provides an optional Site Lockdown feature with/without a Splashpage on the frontpage, and an optional custom redirect page if Site Lockdown is enabled. See the bottom of the right-hand column on this page for all the Privacy features available: http://buddylite.com/buddybuilder-options/

I’ve been using S2member. Works Great! I think you’ll find it does what you need, and then some.

@pinhit

The file you want to edit is members/single/home
Make sure you edit the file in your child-theme, not bp-default, or you will lose your changes when you update Buddypress.
Add the following just after the opening padder div tag (change the text to suit your site/users):

`

`

Then add this to close the conditional just before the closing padder div tag:

``

You have to create a child theme by yourself.

follow this steps. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Where are your main site files located Kenny?

Looking through those folders would answer the question. On a Web server you can only serve public site files from one directory the web root variously referred to as ‘www’, ‘public_html’. All your WP files are in there WP themes are held in the directory ‘themes’ under ‘wp-content’ you must create a new folder called whatever you like in that you create a file named style.css and in that file you add the text shown in the guide and from this point on you need to follow the guide explicitly.

You might be wise to allocate a little time to a quick read of some of the basics in the WP codex which may help your understanding of how WP works ( child themes are a WP construct)

just realised I need to restrict my members activity posts to registered users..

using hindsight if I use the same code and principle in: members/single/activity/permalinks

this will prevent non-members from viewing registered/logged-in members posts right..?

or am I jumping the gun a bit here

* update* – just tried it..didn’t work

maybe I need to edit in: members/single/activity.php..? is this right anyone? thanks

Derived from the above link, I use the following in a bp-custom.php file to exclude users that are not logged in from seeing the activity or members areas.

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .'/'. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( 'get_header', 'sh_walled_garden' );

In bp-custom.php the above needs to be placed in a plain text file with “ at the end of the file….

In case it helps there are options to the above you could try; you can add:

bp_is_directory() to allow access to all the main BP dir pages ‘Activity’, ‘Members’, ‘Blogs’, ‘Groups’ but trying to drill down any further on links in those pages would result in redirecting to register page:

`if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_directory() )`

If you want to do that then you’re best to revert back to the code example that was given on one of the other threads and work on the individual files.

Or try removing the concatenated slug for the register page and just redirect to whatever is shown as your home or index page.

Yes bp-custom.php doesn’t exist it has to be created, this code should also work in functions.php.

@joshal99 It worked but it didnt do exactly what I wanted specifically.

What I wanted to do was to achieve something like the activity wall on this site: http://www.swapbbm.com

unfortunately the above code hides the whole of the activity stream and to date no-one has managed to help me nail this issue.
