This plugin, compatible up to: 3.0.1 makes your BuddyPress community private. So, only logged in members can view all areas of your community. If you visit the community when you’re logged out and your visiting a private page, then you’re redirected to a landing page of your choice. It defaults to the homepage.
You can set urls that are accessibly to non-logged in users using a special config php file – no database calls are needed.
By default the plugin blocks all of your widgets from being visible to logged out users. This stops possible private information from being seen when non-logged in users visit your site.
Also, all RSS feeds are blocked by default too. These default settings can be changed in a special config file – see FAQs for more information.
You might also like to change these setting in your WordPress and BuddyPress settings.
