Hello Jimmy,

Thank you for the acknowledgment. Please use the following code:

/**
 * Make a WordPress site Private, works with/Without BuddyPress
 *
 * @author sbrajesh
 * @global string $pagenow
 *
 */
function buddydev_private_site() {

	// Do not restrict logged in users.
	if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return;
	}

	//first exclude the wp-login.php
	//register
	//activate
	global $pagenow;

	// If we are here, the user is not logged in, so let us check for exclusion.
	// We selectively exclude pages from the list.

	// Are we on login page?.
	if ( $pagenow == 'wp-login.php' ) {
		return;
	}

	// Handle Special case of BuddyPress registration/Login.
	if ( function_exists( 'is_buddypress' ) && is_buddypress() ) {

		if ( bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_register_page() ) {
			return;
		}
	}

	$redirect_url = wp_registration_url();

	wp_safe_redirect( $redirect_url );

	exit( 0 );
}

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'buddydev_private_site', 0 );

It will redirect users to the register page except for wp-login.php, and ‘activate’

Please check and let me know if it helps.

Ravi
