    Hi

    If following option is activated “Only registered or approved members can view BuddyPress/bbPress pages (Private Network).”, it creates an error message in browser (Page is not directed correctly etc…) when trying to access member directory page.
    When I deactivated this option, member directory page was accessible again and this message stopped.

    Thanks

    Regards

    Johan

    That setting is meant to prevent an unapproved logged-in users from accessing any BuddyPress page except his own BP profile until they are approved. Non-logged in users would get redirected to the homepage.

    t sounds like it’s possible that you have a BuddyPress page of some sort set to be your homepage perhaps? I know we have filters that can be used to set a custom location to redirect visitors to if you want to try that out.

    Will wait on confirmation about the homepage setup first though, before diving too far down potential solutions.

    I set as Home Page the member directory page (I am testing for the moment) so according to your explanations it created an infinite loop.

    I changed home page and activate the option again now it works.
    When I am not logged in and try to go to member directory I am redirected to Home page.

    Thanks for your answer

    Regards

    Yeah, that’d do it. A case of “oh, this is buddypress, i should redirect to the homepage. oh this is buddypress, i should redirect to the home…” you get the idea.

    ?I know we have filters that can be used to set a custom location to redirect visitors to…?

    Please provide code to do that (OR include a field in backend setting of your next version for a custom URL)…

    I’m using the BP Group Map plugin by Philopress and in the shortcode map they create are a lot of links to BP Groups. I would like to redirect to a page with info about co-operation. That would be really helpful.

    Thanks, Hans

    For info sake:

    /**
     * Filters the URL to redirect to for logged out users.
     *
     * @since 4.3.0
     *
     * @param string $value URL to redirect to.
     */
    $logged_out_url = apply_filters( 'bprwg_logged_out_redirect_url', get_bloginfo( 'url' ) );
    

    To utilize:

    function my_custom_logged_out_redirect( $original_url ) {
    	return 'https://mozilla.org';
    }
    add_filter( 'bprwg_logged_out_redirect_url', 'my_custom_logged_out_redirect' );
    

    Used at https://github.com/WebDevStudios/BuddyPress-Registration-Options/blob/4.3.7/includes/core.php#L396-L415
    This quick example would send people to Mozilla’s website if the user is logged out. You can add extra logic/code as needed in that my_custom_logged_out_redirect() function to programmatically get a URL or do whatever you need.
