Can you send a link to the site so I can see what is going on? The plugin is actually meant to block all pages except for the ones you define in the settings with the exception of the latest blog post in dashboard/settings/reading. If you need something different for your requirements I will see what I can do to resolve it. All feedback will help me help you! Thanks!
Per our conversation via email I am marking this as resolved as it requires modification of the plugin beyond its intended purpose. I will work on the customization you requested but It will not be applied to the repository because it is not a bug and not everyone will need this modification.
I’m really confused! You say that your plugin is meant to block all pages “with the exception of the latest blog post in dashboard/settings/reading”. On my site, under dashboard/settings/reading my “Front Page displays” option is set to show “A static page” and I specify “Welcome” as my Front page and “Blog” (slug: blog) as my Posts page. I have “blog” listed as Unblocked Page Three in my Private Community for BP Settings, but the Blog page remains blocked. My Welcome page is listed as Unblocked Page One and it is indeed unblocked.
Thank you for any assistance,
Shirley

Pages and posts are not the same that is why they are separated in the dashboard. Pages are more static. However as I mentioned in other topics in the support forum I am working on unblocking posts in a future update. Then I will also update the description that it unblocks posts as well. Thanks for your feedback!
I am also a little bit confused. Shirley quoted this “”with the exception of the latest blog post in dashboard/settings/reading” in your description I read this “with the exception of the posts/pages you set in Dashboard/Settings/PrivateCommunityBP”
I am trying to setup a private community and want to allow logged in users to see any content on the page only. I have setup wp-login.php as a redirect in the plugin and did not setup any expectaion. It seems every pages and posts are blocked expect the page and post which is setup in dashboard/settings/reading as Shirley stated, so the plugin does not work like you stated in your description. I am using the latest version 3.5, upgraded today morning from 3.4.
Thanks,

If you unblock a post or page then it is visible to the public. If you do not unblock it then it is automatically protected and only viewable to logged in users. I don’t see how the description is confusing. Every time I update or include new features then I update the description as well so folks are aware of the new features. I changed the description with the last update because before you could not unblock posts but now you can. I tested the plugin several times. If you have a post with the slug “hello-world” and you unblock it by entering either hello-world or the post ID in the plugins settings then it is public. There is nothing misleading in the description. It does what it says it does. Make sure you save it on the plugins settings page.

Sorry, maybe I was not clear enough, your plugin works well, what I experienced one page (which setup as homepage) is not blocked, all the others are blocked. I have tried everything, disabled all other plugins, but the homepage still visible for every visitor. Can you pls check it?
Thanks,

In the plugins folder open private-community-for-bp.php and on line 27 simply remove this part from that line:
&& !bp_is_front_page()
Save it and it should take care of your issue. Please let me know!
@mbx005
Just updated the plugin to 3.6 so that the front page is not automatically unblocked so try it out and provide some feedback please.
Thanks!
Hi bp-help,
thank you for the recent updates!
I welcome the new possibility to block the front page with update 3.6 for future projects but I now have the problem that I can’t unblock it. I use the standard non-static frontpage and don’t know what name to use in the whitelist, so I had to deactivate the plugin for the time being.
Is there any way to unblock the default frontpage or do I now absolutely have to create a static page?
regards
Hey, I am with xerocs on this, I love the plug in but I too use a non static front page and cant unblock this 🙁
thanks
@xerocs @icebite
I will put in an option in the next update!
Running into same issue – blocks every page on my site, even the ones I say to unprotect.
Thanks in advance for your help.
@bp-help Thanks for your super fast upgrade 🙂 It works how I wanted. Great plugin, thanks again 🙂
