This plugin provides the restriction settings for logged-out users (website visitors). You can lock down the Buddypress component, post types, and lock pages for logged-out users, and also edit custom restriction messages according to you by navigating to Dashboard>> WB Plugins>> Community Pro>> Visitor Restrictions.
BuddyPress Component Privacy
BuddyPress Component Privacy allows you to restrict access to BuddyPress components for logged-out users. Enabling this option ensures that only logged-in members can view and interact with certain BuddyPress features.
Selecting BuddyPress Component to Lock
Here, you can choose the specific BuddyPress components you want to restrict access to for logged-out users. Simply select from the available components, such as Activity Streams, Groups, Member Profiles, or Messages, to apply privacy settings. Once restricted, these components will only be accessible to logged-in members, ensuring that your community content remains private and secure for registered users.
Access to Custom Post Types
Access to Custom Post Types allows you to restrict custom post types from being accessed by logged-out users. When you enable this option, any custom post types you have created (such as portfolios, events, or other tailored content) will only be visible to logged-in members. This feature is useful for keeping premium or member-exclusive content private, ensuring that only authorized users can view and interact with specific content types on your site.
Page Privacy Settings
Page Privacy Settings gives you the option to restrict access to WordPress pages, making them visible only to logged-in members. When you enable this feature, any page you designate will be locked for logged-out users, ensuring that only registered members can view or interact with the content on those pages.

- Redirect to page: Select the page to redirect the members.
