wpDefaultPrivate makes all your posts private when you publish them.
At first the changes are only in the front-end and are not saved to the database, this way you can still use statuses like draft, pending and future. 
When the status of a post changes to published it is instead changed to private. After the initial “publish” you can change the post-status to public if you would like some posts to be public.
by default private posts and pages are not visible for all users, this plugin has settings to make private pages visible for all logged-in users

Protect your BuddyPress Installation from strangers. Only registered users will be allowed to view view directory pages, activity and profile pages. Users attempting to view blog content via RSS are also authenticated via HTTP Auth.
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).

LH Private BuddyPress

Amazing! Made my group page private with the click of a button.

Worked instantly

Works exactly as expected. I hope this plugin continues to receive compatibility checks/updates for future versions of Wordpress.

Works as advertised
