Hi Jay,
I am sorry, I overlooked the homepage exclusion. I have updated the code below. Please update and check if this works.

/**
 * Make a site Private, works with/Withouthg BuddyPress
 * 
 * @author sbrajesh
 * @global string $pagenow
 * 
 */
function buddydev_private_site() {
	
	//first exclude the wp-login.php
	//register
	//activate
	global $pagenow;
	
	//do not restrict logged in users
	if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return ;
	}
	//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 ;
	}
	
	$exclude_pages = array( 'register', 'activate', 'alphabeta', 'groups', 'members' );//add the slugs here
	
	//is it one of the excluded pages, if yes, we just return and don't care
	if( is_page( $exclude_pages ) ) {
		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 );

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi Milo,
Thank you for the reply and showing it with the image.

1. I agree that the current comment in the activity stream is not good, It needs to have context. I will commit this change in 24 hours to include the referenced media( think about facebook share with comment )

The current architecture makes each new top level comment independent, and this is by design. It helps us to resolve many issues.

The thing is all media upload action may not be available as activity. Also, we have to differentiate between gallery activity( say multiple uploads ) and single media activity.

We had given enough thought to create a top level activity and associate it with a media, then add each comment as it’s child. The problem is we need to create an extra activity( hopefully hidden that acts as the parent activity of an uploaded media if the media was not published to the activity stream). It causes other complications deletion and keeping log. We are using Media activity as log( you will see more of it when a few addons come ).

The best possible solution without sacrificing any performance is to list the comment as it is now but include the parent Media in the comment content

Something like:-

Xyz commented on abc's photo
{image}

Any comment on this comment will behave normally( be listed as child comments under parent). The issue is only with top level comments. Do you think that will be good enough for your use?

About Privacy: Please open a new topic and make to to let me know if you are setting privacy in the activity privacy plugin or it is about MediaPress privacy.

Thank you
Brajesh

Before assisting further, May I ask a question:-
1. do you want to fix the wrong orientation problem on iOS devices? or do you want to do the rotate & crop thing.

First is a generic issue and I can put a fix in the core, for second, I will need to share the code here.

Please let me know.

That is not feasible at the moment. We don’t supply any such widget with the plugin and planning to add one will take significant time.

We may get this in our next update if we see enough interest, otherwise It does not seem proper to invest time here.

PS: If you are a developer, I can provide you some code to get started with this. Please do let me know if you are a developer.

Hi,
I am sorry for the inconvenience. It does not seem to be a MediaPress issue rather a browser permission to access the photos. Please visit your phone settings and check if browser can access photos.

I am not using anything specific, It is the browser that is responsible for browsing/selecting images and depending on your device privacy, It may or may not access that.

PS: We are using exact same setup as WordPress dashboard media upload. If one is working, the other will work too.
