BP Simple Private

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank

wp.org popularity rank over time · lower is better

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 80% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Finalmente ho trovato un plugin in grado di nascondere tutte le attività di BP agli utenti non registrati. Funziona con WP 5.6.1 Complimenti a chi l’ha creato!

   Literally charged me $28 to have the redirection to the login page and not the homepage. -> /login = $28 . to make some kinda understanding, it is as **** as having an okay plugin, and then setting it to just 1 star. We simply all just have to deal with it, right?

   This plugin doesn’t do the one thing it promises to do correctly. When you select to hide the activity page it also hides the member profiles, while there is a seperate (unselected) checkbox for those. Also the premium plugin is way to expensive. This plugin is not worth your time. This topic was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by Marcoevich.

   As I say on most other reviews I post, charging for mutlisite compatibility which is a core feature of WordPress is just not consistent with the spirit of WordPress. I can understand other functionality for pro but not multisite compatibility, especially when BuddyPress is majorly a multisite plugin. I know from your previous posts you won’t agree with this review, but that is the nice thing about individual reviews, it’s our own point of view.

   I was so excited to download BP Simple Private plugin so that I may keep specific buddypress pages hidden from non-registered users. Sadly, when I found out there was no redirect option in the free version (which I believe is a trap to get users to purchase your premium version) I went to purchase BP Simple Private Pro and it costs $25. Why on earth would you charge $25 for a simple redirect option? I can code my own redirect effortlessly if I just did a bit of research. I would have much rather given you a few dollars for the premium version, $10 at the most, but never would I ever spend $25 for this option alone. The other additions of the pro version serve no purpose and many developers find no need for them. The redirect is the only plus side and it is being wasted by an outrageous fee and a greedy developer. Yours truly, One of many disgruntled users.

   Excellent Plugin! As its title suggests, simple, efficient and fast. It should be part of BuddyPress by default. It did what it has promised in an extraordinary way! Congratulations!!!

   Works great. Used plugin Ultimate Member to work with BuddyPress, but it blocks only some of the pages that are created by an administrator for general information and does not give access to authorized users to view accounts and site groups of participants. This plugin has surpassed all expectations! This is the best solution that I liked! Super!
