  • HTTP Auth for RSS feed access
  • Decisions rather than options philosophy

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about LH Private BuddyPress

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);
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
Only the members directory, user profile, and activity pages. These can only be visited by logged in users. All other components are still public.
This is primarily for organisations, they usually want a public presence but may not want to disclose membership details to non members.
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.
