Description

A simple Private Content settings plugin for BuddyPress or the BuddyBoss Platform.

This plugin allows administrators to select whether posts, pages and sections can be viewed by non-logged-in users.

Your front page or home page will always be Public.

If a user is logged in – this plugin will have no effect on them.

It:

  • will redirect non-logged-in users trying to access private content to your front page or home page
  • provides a Settings screen in wp-admin: Settings > BP Simple Private
  • allows an admin to select which post types and BuddyPress or BuddyBoss components are Private
  • provides a Private checkbox in the upper right corner of every page, post, and custom post type selected in Settings

Spanish translation included, thanks to pablocusto

Finalmente ho trovato un plugin in grado di nascondere tutte le attività di BP agli utenti non registrati. Funziona con WP 5.6.1 Complimenti a chi l'ha creato!

Simple and it works

$28 to have the redirection /login

By Kristian Yngve (kristianngve) on November 4, 2017

Literally charged me $28 to have the redirection to the login page and not the homepage. -> /login = $28 . to make some kinda understanding, it is as **** as having an okay plugin, and then setting it to just 1 star. We simply all just have to deal with it, right?

Privacy Settings don't work correctly

By Marcoevich on August 10, 2017

This plugin doesn't do the one thing it promises to do correctly. When you select to hide the activity page it also hides the member profiles, while there is a seperate (unselected) checkbox for those. Also the premium plugin is way to expensive. This plugin is not worth your time.

Imagine BuddyPress charging for multisite..

By Dot 07 (Dot07) on September 3, 2016

As I say on most other reviews I post, charging for mutlisite compatibility which is a core feature of WordPress is just not consistent with the spirit of WordPress.

I can understand other functionality for pro but not multisite compatibility, especially when BuddyPress is majorly a multisite plugin.

I know from your previous posts you won't agree with this review, but that is the nice thing about individual reviews, it's our own point of view.

Great plugin, Not-so great price

By Rapforthemoment on September 3, 2016

I was so excited to download BP Simple Private plugin so that I may keep specific buddypress pages hidden from non-registered users.

Sadly, when I found out there was no redirect option in the free version (which I believe is a trap to get users to purchase your premium version) I went to purchase BP Simple Private Pro and it costs $25.

Why on earth would you charge $25 for a simple redirect option? I can code my own redirect effortlessly if I just did a bit of research. I would have much rather given you a few dollars for the premium version, $10 at the most, but never would I ever spend $25 for this option alone.

The other additions of the pro version serve no purpose and many developers find no need for them. The redirect is the only plus side and it is being wasted by an outrageous fee and a greedy developer.

Yours truly,

One of many disgruntled users.

Extraordinary!!!

By pablocusto on September 3, 2016

Excellent Plugin! As its title suggests, simple, efficient and fast.
It should be part of BuddyPress by default.
It did what it has promised in an extraordinary way!
Congratulations!!!

Works great

By Nikonn (nikonn) on September 3, 2016

Works great. Used plugin Ultimate Member to work with BuddyPress, but it blocks only some of the pages that are created by an administrator for general information and does not give access to authorized users to view accounts and site groups of participants. This plugin has surpassed all expectations! This is the best solution that I liked! Super!

Control privacy easily

By Henry Wright (henry.wright) on September 3, 2016

This plugin provides an admin page which allows you to manage the visibility of various areas of your site. If you need privacy to be under tight control then this is a super useful plugin. 5*

Works very well!

By nsultan on September 3, 2016

Fantastic, thank you for making this plugin.

Maybe you wanna add in the description that people should disable other plugins that intend to to the same thing - similarly other funtions.php hacks.

I nearly deinstalled it because of conflicts with another competing plugin.

Thanks again!
