thanks, this is quite useful to address the issue to block out everything. what i was after is a little more fine-grained. for example there are out there a few plugins which use wordpress roles to limit access to posts or even categories. can anyone suggest a way of using a buddypress group or a field from the extended profile to limit access to posts/pages (rather than activities like forum posts etc?
i understand that if one is not member of a private group they cannot see the group activities in the stream, but how to make certain pages only accessible based on buddypress group membership?
many thanks!

You could look at using functions like:
groups_is_user_member( $user_id, $group_id )
To test if the user is in a specific group, and only show the page if they are in the appropriate group. This is defined in bp-groups.php.
bp_is_member()
To simply check whether the current user is a member (and logged in). This is defined in bp-core-templatetags.php
There is also a group blogs plugin: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-groupblog/
I don’t know if this can be adapted to implement the private pages for your group members.
Cheers, Roger
Roger thanks for the useful suggestion.
i think that getting into modifying the plugin is out of my league, but i can definitely look into how to use the function you suggested.
i’m surpised that nobody has implemented this sort of things already!
