How Do I Protect BuddyPress Profile Pages Please

It may help you to protect the BP profile page.

Thank you Nisha. I don’t use “Friends” on my site because it conflicted with a couple of plugins that I really need.

What I need is a hack that would replace “friends” for “Logged In” members. Unfortunately I don’t know coding sufficiently to adapt the WPMU hack.

Did you find a solution to this ma3ry? Im needing a very similar solution so that profiles can only be viewed by logged in users of a certain membership level.

No, still no solution. Sorry.

Hi @ma3ry,
there is a buddypress filter you can use, go to Administration -> Appearance -> Editor then choose the functions.php file

Add this code at the end ot the file just a line before ?>

add_action('bp_before_profile_loop_content', function(){
	if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
		echo '<p>'.__('Only Logged member can see member\'s profile.').'</p>';
		return;
	}
})

Thank you so much for your input Sidati!

I don’t have an Editor page in Appearance so I tried putting it in my functions.php of my child theme. That didn’t work so I tried putting it in my bp_custom.php file and it didn’t work there either.

Could part of the problem be that I am using multisite?

@ma3ry: you really need to be asking at https://buddypress.org/support/ These are WordPress forums, not Buddypress.

You must at least see the message : “Only Logged member can see member’s profile.” when you are logged-out, UNLESS your buddypress theme does not support that filter/action.

Anyway as @songdogtech said; try buddypress forums.

That’s what I would like to see, but unfortunately I can see all members when logged out.

Not good on a membership based website. ;-(

I will check with the developer of my theme. Thank you!

Thanks for the advice. Indeed I will do that. Much appreciated!

In case anyone is following this and looking for answers, I just found a plugin by PhiloPress called BP Simple Private Pro for $26. There is a free version but I need the pro version for multisite.

Just purchased it. Haven’t tried it, but I’m hoping it will work.
