BuddyPress News: Create Your Own Private BuddyPress Community
September 6, 2010
Many users have asked in the forums about how to restrict their BuddyPress community areas to logged in users only. Now it’s possible to make your entire BuddyPress community private with the ease of a plugin.
BuddyPress Private Community allows you to keep all casual visitors from seeing pages associated with your community, as well as widgets that may also give away community information. Users must be logged in to visit the community pages. RSS feeds are also blocked by default. The plugin also includes its own config file that will allow you to tweak the settings for which URLs are viewable by loggged-out visitors and which are not. This plugin is a quick solution for making your BuddyPress community private or simply restricting a few components.
Because this plugin/widget is provided free of charge, I simply ask you to link back to Pressography.com in a post on your blog, or from one of your sites. It doesn't need to be anything fancy - just a note saying that you're using it, and whether or not you like it. However, there is no requirement that you do this, you're free to use the plugin regardless.
