Funziona con WP 5.6.1 Complimenti a chi l’ha creato! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c37341981c2f9a4be29dc504333a791a92a0f21779c743e6363ff805dd6e13a7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and it works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-it-works-90/)󠁿 [roberto2jones](https://profiles.wordpress.org/roberto2jones/) February 29, 2020 Works well and is simple to use. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2bb4cb0f3099854d4c963de20a1900521c99c6c5bf834fbddd30ff5d608210dd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[$28 to have the redirection /login](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/28-to-have-the-redirection-login/)󠁿 [Kristian Yngve](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kristianngve/) November 4, 2017 Literally charged me $28 to have the redirection to the login page and not the homepage.- > /login = $28 . to make some kinda understanding, it is as **** as having an okay plugin, and then setting it to just 1 star. We simply all just have to deal with it, right? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/31f253302e7726a5597888068d4c2775380a6dce40a84754620c092bb470c701? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Privacy Settings don’t work correctly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/privacy-settings-dont-work-correctly/)󠁿 [Marcoevich](https://profiles.wordpress.org/marcoevich/) August 10, 2017 This plugin doesn’t do the one thing it promises to do correctly. When you select to hide the activity page it also hides the member profiles, while there is a seperate( unselected) checkbox for those. Also the premium plugin is way to expensive. This plugin is not worth your time. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/870b7c2553b80d6f31cce696b8fe9aa481f602f051086d6f0f1fba4ac2b1e438? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Imagine BuddyPress charging for multisite..](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/imagine-buddypress-charging-for-multisite/)󠁿 [Dot 07](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dot07/) September 3, 2016 As I say on most other reviews I post, charging for mutlisite compatibility which is a core feature of WordPress is just not consistent with the spirit of WordPress. I can understand other functionality for pro but not multisite compatibility, especially when BuddyPress is majorly a multisite plugin. I know from your previous posts you won’t agree with this review, but that is the nice thing about individual reviews, it’s our own point of view. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f44a2543d30879652ddd22455be5339f8f83726dfe1222240e589e5da59288e1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin, Not-so great price](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-not-so-great-price/)󠁿 [Rapforthemoment](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rapforthemoment/) September 3, 2016 1 reply I was so excited to download BP Simple Private plugin so that I may keep specific buddypress pages hidden from non-registered users. Sadly, when I found out there was no redirect option in the free version (which I believe is a trap to get users to purchase your premium version) I went to purchase BP Simple Private Pro and it costs $25. Why on earth would you charge $25 for a simple redirect option? I can code my own redirect effortlessly if I just did a bit of research. I would have much rather given you a few dollars for the premium version, $10 at the most, but never would I ever spend $25 for this option alone. The other additions of the pro version serve no purpose and many developers find no need for them. The redirect is the only plus side and it is being wasted by an outrageous fee and a greedy developer. Yours truly, One of many disgruntled users.
