A public BuddyPress site exposes member profiles, groups, and activity to search engines and anonymous visitors who should not have access. BuddyPress Lock lets admins restrict any combination of BuddyPress components and WordPress pages to logged-in members only, with a custom restriction message for visitors who hit a locked page. No separate membership plugin required.
