I just submitted Private BP Pages plugin to the WP repo. Hopefully it wont take long to be approved but they are back-logged. This version only blocks BP specific pages without touching WP posts or pages so pat yourself on the back for inspiring me to resurrect this old code with a cool new dashboard setting to define the redirect! I made it as simple as can be. Until it is approved its home will be here:

Enjoy!

Just submitted the plugin I have worked on to the WordPress repository. It may take a while to get it approved because they are back-logged. Until then you can try this version:

Let me know how it works for you! Good luck!

@magichew
Are you sure your not confusing this plugin with Private BuddyPress or BuddyPress Private Community plugins? Similar names but entirely different plugins as well as authors. My plugin has only been on the WP repository about 2 months. Also you may have used a plugin I had on github that just blocked BuddyPress specific pages and left all other posts and pages public but it did not have any dashboard settings then. I am in the process of resurrecting that plugin and adding only one dashboard setting that would allow the admin to define the redirect when a logged out visitor tries to view the BP pages. Maybe this would work out better for you!

Resolved!

@magichew
It would be helpful if you could explain more clearly exactly what the update did that makes it not useful to you anymore so maybe it could be fixed. I have a group of users saying they want it to work this way while another group is saying they want it to work that way and the simple fact of life is you can’t please everyone. Try changing line 37 in private-community-for-bp.php from this:

if ( !is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_register_page() && !bp_is_activation_page()

To this:

if ( !is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_register_page() && !bp_is_activation_page() && !is_home()

That is really the only change I made other than adding more unblock fields. Give it a try and let me know if that works out for you. Thanks!

Closing, please let me know if you need any more info!

@saraspixels
The current version will unblock individual blog post, but will not unblock an entire category which could potentially have thousands upon thousands of blog posts. I have a premium version that can accomplish this. Also you said you are not going to have a public registration. That would require designating a page like wp-login.php for the redirect which can be done in the free version. Also you want the home page unblocked which would require a small customization to the plugin. I can do this but I will have to charge because it wouldn’t be fair to others that purchased the premium version for $15.00 US.

Thanks again! If you think of a name let me know! I appreciate it!

If you have a copy of that old plugin could you please send it to me because I am on vacation and I left my external drive that has it on it at home. My email is [email protected] Also I am open to renaming suggestions because there needs to be a distinction between the two plugins and I am fresh out of ideas. Thanks again !

@pdillon809
Yeah I suppose that I built a Fort Knox plugin and it appears for your purpose it is overkill so maybe I will re-brand the older version and put it on the repository as an alternative for those who don’t need as deep of protection as the current version offers but I doubt it would be updated as regularly because I pretty much did about all I could before I changed the code to what is offered in the WordPress repository version. On the current version you can use the redirect and enter wp-login.php in the plugins settings page as an alternative but being that I am not familiar with the type of setup you have I am not sure even that option would work for your install. Feel free again to try that and supply feedback. I really appreciate the feedback you have given thus far. Thanks again!

@pdillon809
I suppose when I do the next update I will add this info to the FAQ because I assumed users understood that you need to have assigned the registration page in dashboard/settings/buddypress/pages before using the plugin. If you found a work around for your installation since you are not using WP or BP registration, feel free to post your solution here as it may help someone else with a similar install like yours down the road. Thanks!

Closing since you have not responded!

@biglife
If you don’t reply by tomorrow I will assume you have resolved your issue so if not let me know!

Please be more clear in your explanation for what you are trying to achieve. Also include as much info on your install as possible. Links are also helpful. This plugin is not meant for blocking or unblocking images unless they are in a posts or pages.

@pdillon809
I am assuming you resolved your issue.
