Private Community with Public WordPress

    HiHo,

    I am a newbie and I am trying to fix a structrual problem since days without luck 🙁
    I am running WordPress 3.5.1 and BuddyPress 1.6.4 and I would like to have the following setting:

    1) Everything posted in WordPress (static pages, blog posts) should be viewable by everyone.
    2) Everthing from BuddyPress (Activity streams, forums, groups, member profiles) should be readable only by members.

    I already found “Private BuddyPress” but it seems not running within my setting, as it does not appear in Settings -> Privacy.

    So any suggestions how to set it up like this?

    Thanks in advance,
    Sushi

    create a file named bp-custom.php that you will then place in yoursite/wp-content/plugins folder after you paste the following code in it:
    `

    `
    Just change the /register in the line :
    wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/register’ );
    to the page you want the logged out user to be directed too!
    I found this somewhere on the net so props to whomever coded it!

    the above reply stripped out the code so hopefully this will print out!

    It stripped the code again. Just place this between opening and closing php tags in the bp-custom.php file:
    `
    function bp_guest_redirect() {
    global $bp;
    if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() /*|| bbp_is_single_forum()*/ || bp_is_forums_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {
    // enter the slug or component conditional here
    if(!is_user_logged_in()) { // not logged in user
    wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/register’ );
    } // user will be redirect to any link to want
    }
    }
    add_filter(‘get_header’,’bp_guest_redirect’,1);
    `

    @bphelp I tried this and when I refreshed my site, all of your code appears below the admin bar on my site — above my header.

    I created a new page and named it “new page here.”

    Here’s your code with my info:

    function bp_guest_redirect() {

    global $bp; if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() /*|| bbp_is_single_forum()*/ || bp_is_forums_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) { // enter the slug or component conditional here if(!is_user_logged_in()) { // not logged in user wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/new-page-here’ ); } // user will be redirect to any link to want } } add_filter(‘get_header’,’bp_guest_redirect’,1);

    Am I to insert my URL as well? I tried with and without changing it and that didn’t work either.

    @bphelp I missed my greater than sign in starting out the page. Now your code doesn’t show, but when I log out, i get an error across the top of the screen instead:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/*****/public_html/inlandcoder/wp-content/themes/frisco-for-buddypress/members/index.php:12) in /home/*****/public_html/inlandcoder/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876

    did you add the code to the bp-custom.php you create in yoursite/wp-content/plugins? did you remember to add the code between opening and closing php tags and save the file? I have it working flawless on wp 3.5.1 and bp 1.7 beta 1. for example this line:
    wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/register’ );
    redirects to register page
    you could for example change it to something like this:
    wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/sample-page’ );
    that would redirect to the sample page.

    That sounds more like your theme is shooting off errors. Try activating the bp-default theme and see what happens. also make sure there is no extra lines before or after the opening and closing php tags in the bp-custom.php

    @bphelp I do believe I have it now. Yes, my butchered theme that I’m learning on was sending off errors. I enabled the BP-Default Theme and we’re good. I have the BP navigation tabs going to the Sample Page.

    I knew you had it right, but I didn’t understand and I didn’t know my theme was causing errors. I use this site for practicing, then I implement the changes that work back to my new site: http://www.gumpolen.com

    Thanks,

    Kevin
