# BuddyPress options
The amount of available options is up to the BuddyPress Components you chose to activate. You'll always get the BuddyPress Core and Community Members sections as they refer to required components. 4 optional components are allowing some of their behaviors to be customized using specific options:
- Account Settings
- Extended Profiles
- User Groups
- Activity Streams

## BuddyPress Core
### Toolbar
BuddyPress uses the WordPress Admin Bar to include shortcuts to the logged in user's profile pages and a Notifications "bubble". By default, it is enabled, but if you chose another way to display these informations, you can disable it.
### Community visibility
Version 12.0.0 of BuddyPress introduced the community visibility feature. Thanks to this option you can leave your community area completely public, allowing anyone to view BuddyPress generated content; or you can restrict this content to logged-in members only. In this second case, if an unauthenticated user tries to reach one of your community pages, a login form will be output instead of the community content.
### Template pack
BuddyPress Template packs are sets of community templates BuddyPress is using to organize the layout of the community pages. These templates are allowing BuddyPress to integrate - in an optimal way - into any WordPress theme. By default, the BP Nouveau template pack is active as its the latest Template pack we've built. You can always chose to go back in time and use the BP Legacy one.
**NB**: when you chose to activate a BuddyPress standalone theme such as the BP Default theme that is available into the [BP Classic Add-on](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-classic/), this option won't be taken in account as this kind of themes is including a customized set of community templates.
