Close down your site for logged-in members only

This code snippet will make most Buddypress pages viewable to members only. The exceptions being the registration and activation pages. And also blog pages are viewable to unregistered users. Unregistered users trying to access members only pages will be redirected to the front page.

Place the function below into functions.php in your theme folder:

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )
return;
if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .\'/\'. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( \'walled_garden\', \'sh_walled_garden\' );

Add this to your functions.php or bp-custom.php file

    This is what I came up with:

    place the function below into functions.php in your THEME folder.

    function sh_walled_garden()

    {

    global $bp;

    if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )

    return;

    if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )

    bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .’/’. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );

    }

    add_action( ‘walled_garden’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );

    and this right on top of header.php (before the

    The above makes all BP pages private, except the registration and activation pages. It also leaves all blog pages public. It’s a bit easier than editing all theme pages.
