BuddyPress Profile Visibility Manager is a premium WordPress plugin that gives your community users full control over their profile privacy. Developed by BuddyDev, a studio specialized in BuddyPress solutions, this plugin is designed for community-based websites, social networks, forums, and educational platforms where member privacy is a priority.
With this plugin, each user can decide who has access to their profile through flexible visibility levels: public for everyone, only registered users, only friends, only members of their groups, or completely private (only the user themselves and the site administrator). Additionally, members can show or hide their profile in the member directory, exclude themselves from directory searches, hide their last activity, and allow or block friend requests according to their preferences.
The plugin offers an intuitive settings panel that requires no technical knowledge, allowing each user to manage their privacy easily. For administrators, it includes the ability to set default privacy values from the admin panel, as well as an admin-only mode where only the site team can modify settings. It also incorporates simple hooks to customize the available privacy levels and the option to restrict access to the member directory, choosing between all visitors, only registered users, or only administrators.
If a user chooses to hide completely, they will not appear anywhere on the site, including widgets and other visible areas. Additionally, there is an add-on that allows integrating visibility control with Paid Memberships Pro levels, ideal for sites with paid memberships. BuddyPress Profile Visibility Manager is the perfect solution for building safer and more trustworthy communities, where each member has the power to decide what they share and with whom.
