Comment:
Thanks a lot for opening this ticket. Building a private community is a
request users are often making about BuddyPress. Here are some examples:
- https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-free-plugin-for-social-media-2/
- https://wordpress.org/support/topic/confusing-and-incohesive/
I believe including a very straightforward way to use BuddyPress to add to
his WordPress site a private community is something we should consider.
@shawfactor your first and second points are somehow the same "plugins can
do that". Sure they can and it's fine if they can offer the various levels
of privacy to extend a very basic level one provided by BuddyPress.
Problem is, a new user don't know about these plugins (me neither by the
way!). He tries to see how it can be done from settings, don't find,
uninstall BuddyPress and then share a bad review looking like "how come
such a basic feature is not included into BuddyPress???"
The goal here is to include this very basic way of making a small private
community as a start, if people need more granular control over privacy,
then yes I trust you that there are specific plugins to help them satisfy
it.
Let's talk about it during 11.0.0 development cycle. I'd really love to
have more feedbacks about it and not only from developers like us but from
users.
