Simple BuddyPress Profile Privacy

Description

Allow your members to select additional privacy settings for who can view their profile and it’s visibility on the directory page.

  1. Allow users to hide their profile from the directory page. There is an admin setting to allow or deny this setting site wide.
  2. Allow each Buddypress member to decide which members can see any of their profile tabs.

The options for profile viewing privacy are:

  1. “Only logged in users”: any visitor that isn’t logged in will be redirected to the registration page.
  2. “Only friends”: a visitor who is not a friend views a profile they will see a new tab named private giving them an opporunity to become friends with the member.
  3. “Everyone”: Buddypress functions as if the plugin is not installed.

Very nice idea to have possibility to hide profile in buddypress directory... A lot of my members did not want to appear in this directory and as well, in Google directory ! There is only one thing i'd like to have in options : have possibility, as administrator, to activate or not, for all my members, the option "Who can view you profil" Is it possible as well, to redirect to a special page or root web site when someone try to access to a hiden profil ? Thank's again for this job & work I hope now to have an update 😉 Thierry

The plugin works fine and is very useful, as it provides an important aspect that is missing from BuddyPress. There is the issue that José Caldeira pointed out in support, but thankfully he also provides a patch. I'm sure it will be fixed for good in the next update.
