Limit BuddyPress community features for Logout users

When someone creates a profile on a BuddyPress powered WordPress website. BuddyPress Community websites provide its users with a dedicated profile URL. It displays their recent activities and uploaded media stream and all profile information. BuddyPress provides all the community features to its users and the only major issue is its public. The search engine can index them which is the major security concern. If someone knows your profile URL he can directly access the page without even log in to the site.

Last year I have worked on Plugin BuddyPress lock . BuddyPress Lock basically allows the administrator to lock certain parts of their site. It helps to create private BuddyPress community by locking certain BuddyPress Components, WordPress Pages, Custom Post Types for public view without using any membership plugin. If a logout user tries to access the profile page directly from the BuddyPress User Profile URL. You can set the custom message for the guest visitors or provide the visitor a login and registration forms. Only after being registered as a user and login visitor can see the profile information.

With BuddyPress Private Community pro plugin you can do a lot more to make your community secure and protect your community members data private. The plugin is very useful to Protect your user’s privacy rights.
