Hi Carsten,
Sure.
Here is the code that make sthe BuddyPress section private.

/**
 * Make a BuddyPress section of the site Private.
 *
 * @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;
	}

	// let us exclude the home page.
	if ( is_front_page() ) {
		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_login_url( site_url( '/' ) ); // get login url.

		wp_safe_redirect( $redirect_url );
		exit( 0 );
	}
}

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

Hi, I’m using the Branded Login plugin, and I’m getting too many redirects with this code. Can you give me a code to make the site private, but that works with the Branded Login plugin.

Thanks!

Hello Lisa,

Try the following code and let me know it helps or not

/**
 * Make a BuddyPress section of the site Private.
 *
 * @author sbrajesh
 * @global string $pagenow
 */
function buddydev_private_site() {

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

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

		$skip = false;

		if ( bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_register_page() ) {
			$skip = true;
		} elseif ( function_exists( 'bp_branded_login' ) ) {
			$skip = bl_is_bl_pages();
		}

		if ( $skip ) {
			return;
		}

		$redirect_url = wp_login_url( site_url( '/' ) ); // get login url.

		wp_safe_redirect( $redirect_url );
		exit( 0 );
	}
}

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