BuddyPress.org

I actually thought this was a part of WordPress but I’ve been searching docs and googling and haven’t found anything specifically.

The site is for a physical membership site and only members in good standing will be allowed to register for an account and therefore able to use BuddyPress.

So the potential new user would fill out the registration form, submit, verify there email and wait for approval from the officers. The BuddyPress registration form will have an extra field to identify the member by their membership number.

The key is that only accounts that have been approved can see any of the BuddyPress features like member profiles, directory etc. non-logged in users shouldn’t see anything from BuddyPress except the login and registration pages.

I’m hoping this is easier than it looks so far.
