Buddypress Private Community Compatibility

I recently came across an issue where the Buddypress Private Community plugin rendered blank pages for the Members and Groups pages, and I resolved it by editing some things in this child theme…it doesn’t seem to affect anything else, so maybe for anyone else having this problem, you could update the code.

It’s in the index.php file of /members and /groups. In /activity, the problem is not evident. The original and changed code are as follows:

Original:

<?php

/**
 * BuddyPress - Groups Directory
 *
 * @package BuddyPress
 * @subpackage bp-default
 */

?>

<?php get_header( 'buddypress' ); ?>

Edited for compatibility:

<?php

/**
 * BuddyPress - Groups Directory
 *
 * @package BuddyPress
 * @subpackage bp-default
 */

get_header( 'buddypress' ); ?>

Thanks for a great theme! Will we see an update for that grey block that shows up on iPad orientations soon?

Hi Mate;
you must have installed Buddypress Private Community plugin, before to change the code ?

Buddypress Private Community plugin hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

i need to have private members /groups and /activity zone, but i don’t know how can i do……

can you help me please?

best regards

I have a BuddyPress Community that I’m building that’s based around a rather sensitive topic for my users and as such I need to make parts of the community totally private and not accessible by non logged in users.

I would like guests to be redirected to a page/message that requests login/sign-up before proceeding to the following parts of my community:

mysite.com/members
mysite.com/activity
mysite.com/groups/

However, I like guests to be able to freely view public blog and public content.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Can you post that in your own thread?
