LH Private BuddyPress

FAQ

Can I change the URL where non-loggedin users are being redirected?

Yes, currently you need to write a filter function in your functions.php or site specific plugin.

function redirect_nonloggedin_users($current_uri, $redirect_to) {
    // Redirect users to the homepage
    return get_option('siteurl') . '/?from=' . $redirect_to;
}

add_filter('lh_private_buddypress_redirect_login_page', 'redirect_nonloggedin_users', 10, 2);

Are there other actions or filters?

In LH Private BuddyPress are 4 existing filters:

• lh_private_buddypress_is_buddypress_feed: Boolean value if the current page is a BuddyPress feed
• lh_private_buddypress_redirect_to_after_login: Called URI from where the users came from
• lh_private_buddypress_display_login_message: Customise the message when vistors try to access a private component
• lh_private_buddypress_redirect_login_page: URI where nonloggedin users are being redirected
• lh_private_buddypress_login_required_check: Boolean value if for the current page a login is needed

What components are made private?

Only the members directory, user profile, and activity pages. These can only be visited by logged in users. All other components are still public.

Why this set up?

This is primarily for organisations, they usually want a public presence but may not want to disclose membership details to non members.

What if something does not work?

LH Private Buddypress, and all https://lhero.org plugins are made to WordPress standards. Therefore they should work with all well coded plugins and themes. However not all plugins and themes are well coded (and this includes many popular ones).

If something does not work properly, firstly deactivate ALL other plugins (except Buddypress and this on) and switch to one of the themes that come with core, e.g. twentyfifeen, twentysixteen etc.

If the problem persists please leave a post in the support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lh-private-buddypress/. I look there regularly and resolve most queries.

What if I need a feature that is not in the plugin?
