Private BuddyPress community — hide everything from logged-out visitors

Mike Roberts Mike Roberts 2 3 months ago buddypress private-community

We are building a members-only community on BuddyPress where nothing — profiles, activity, groups — should be visible to anonymous visitors. What is the cleanest way to gate BuddyPress entirely?

BuddyPress Private Community Pro redirects every BuddyPress page for logged-out visitors to a configurable URL (login, custom landing, or external). Site-wide opt-in means the homepage can stay public while the community stays gated. It also blacklists direct BuddyPress REST endpoints so no content leaks through crawlers. Registration can be made invite-only so community growth is controlled.
