AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Buddyfence is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction

How Buddyfence works
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.
