I have installed wordpress in www.mysite.com/user and now suppose if someone is familiare with wordpress he/she can easily access my stuffs through www.mysite.com/user/members www.mysite.com/user/groups etc even he can see all stuffs from www.mysite.com/user without logging in to my site.Is there any way to prevent this.something like access denied if he is not logged in or any kind of redirection to a specific url. or something like You don’t have permission to access /members/ on this server .I am facing lots of problem because of this.I am using frisco for buddypress theme.

You can force all visitors to log in before they are allowed to see the pages. This will not work for attachments.

But … if that already is a problem for your site – why did you install WordPress in a publicly accessible directory? You should plan visibility first, then run the installation.

Consider HTTP Basic authentication if you think your users can handle that.

Yes, see the code in my linked answer. It does not include the registration page. – toscho♦ Dec 27 '12 at 22:01
