This plugin is inspired by the Private Buddypress plugin by Dennis Morhardt. I rewrote it to provide a solution that followed the WordPress coding stndards and the decisions rather than options philosophy. I deploy this on my own multisite environment where I don’t want public profiles, activity or members directories (and where I don’t want site admins changing this).
