## Description

Buddypress pages are public by default. This plugin allows you to restrict not logged-
in users from accessing these pages.

If an anonymous user tries to access these pages, they will be redirected either
to the login page, or to the homepage, or even to a custom page.

The plugin also allows to display on these pages a template with a message to log
in instead of directly redirecting them elsewhere.

### Features

 * Very easy to use, you only have to choose which pages want to retrict to anonymous
   users (not logged-in users).
 * Small and lightweight plugin (around 10-15kb).
 * No CSS, no scripts. No requests to static files.
 * Fully translated into Spanish.
