Simple BuddyPress Profile Privacy Plugin

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.

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/buddy-press-profile-privacy directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

Are the profiles hidden from site administrators?

No site administrators or super admins can view all profiles regardless of their settings.

Does this plugin affect hidden profile fields?

No, any profile fields that are hidden will be hidden no matter what the settings are. This plugin is for overall profile privacy.
