@ghar123 – I am sure there are many options / different ways to accomplish what you are asking about, my suggestion would be to look at “press permit core” first.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/press-permit-core/
(pretty sure that will do what you need easy)
Then take a gander at s2member plugin perhaps..
there are others I am sure.
Thank you! Is there anything in the buddypress settings that can make all the forums private? For example, if the click on the forums link then they cannot see any of the forums until the login.
I made some progress and am essentially trying to do the following:
When users click on the “Forum” link on my navigation bar it takes them to http://dentalstudentmastermind.com/forums/ . I would like this feature to only be available for users that are logged in, I would like users who are not logged in to be redirected to http://dentalstudentmastermind.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdentalstudentmastermind.com%2Fwp-login
I know this can be done in the functions.php file, I am using a child theme on top of divi with access to a child functions.php file.
Thanks
@ghar123 – isn’t this exactly what “press permit core” plugin mentioned above does?
Doesn’t s2member plugin mentioned above do that?
make it simple and create an htpasswd file and htacess could do that same I guess.
I don’t know how to write php and mess with functions.php someone else may know more about that.
