@erich73 – try the welcome pack plugin, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/

@kriskl – Google updates the public PageRank once every 3-4 months, so do not expect a change anytime soon. PageRank is the “power” of a page based on internal and external links. The fact you just closed a good portion of your site from Google crawlers should cause your PR to drop, because there are less [...]

@wordpresschina – Thanks for the suggestion, this is exactly what I was looking for. I really do not understand one thing. Why when someone wants to register they get redirected to the Buddypress version of the registration, but when someone wants to login they go to the standard WP login page? Maybe there is something wrong [...]

@intimez – not sure about about export, but you can use the import for Ning as an import option (more of a workaround). read…

@wordpresschina – I also tested over the weekend and it worked great for me. But I have one issue I would love to be able to solve… The e-mail sent out to the new users is the standard WP e-mail (with username, password (sutogenerated) and link to standard WP login screen) and not the one from [...]

@thekmen – Yes, I am currently using it on 1.2.4.1

@angangba – you should probably contact the creator of the plugin for help. I also use CaPa and do not think it supports WP 3.0 yet.

@thekmen – try this plugin, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/, gives you many options.

@wordpresschina – I have the same issue as you. One theory for a solutions is to use the import for Ning plugin , . You will see in the comments that I asked @boonebgorges if he thought it might be possible to use a regular CSV instead of one generated by Ning. He responded that in theory it should [...]

@sbrajesh – I placed your code in my bp-custom.php (should it go in my functions.php?) and I created a new login.php file, but when clicking on “You must be logged in to post a comment.” (“logged in” is a link) I still ended up on the standard wordpress login screen (it even included the redirect back [...]

@boonebgorges – can I use your plug-in to import a csv not from Ning? I have a list of students from a university that I want to upload to by WP 2.9.2 and BP (latest version). All the plug-ins I have looked into are for BP on WPMU or WP where you cannot import Xprofile data. [...]

@colleen – I had the same issue, I am currently using this plugin, http://www.jfarthing.com/extend/plugins/bp-profile-privacy, it works in WP 2.9.2,to a degree.

The one thing missing, being able to set it up to have it that logged in members can see profile. Plugin Author says he is working on updating to include that option.

@r-a-y – Thanks for the tip. I do not get the error message anymore. You plugin seems to work except for one place, the header. There are still 3 links that still link to the subdirectory. I guess I am just going to go with a child theme (does not look to hard to setup) to [...]

@r-a-y I am using the most current version of BP, 1.2.4.1.

I had to remove your code from my bp-custom.php because every time I tried to install a new plugin I got an error saying the header had already been called by bp-custom.php, error on line…

Thanks,

Kalman

@r-a-y

Read the post and trie the code, no luck (see http://www.imbaalumni.com). I have posted my bp-custom.php file here, http://pastebin.com/M0NPB2Dk

I am running WP 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.4.1

Any help would be appreciated.

@r-a-y I tried you code in my bp-custom.php file, but it is not working. please take a look, http://www.imbaalumni.com, and let me know if you have any suggestions. Here is the code of the bp-custom.php, http://pastebin.com/M0NPB2Dk Also, check out the “log In” link in the admin bar at the top of the page, how would I [...]

Yes, I have a code active that changes the slug of members to alumni (I am running an alumni site). Currently that is the only code I have in the file.

I will try you plugin to see if it works.

Does order of code make a difference?

Usually a flip of a switch and it is not connected to BP but to WP.

Go to setting –> General and there is a line called “Membership” with a check box that says “Anyone can register”. Select that and save and you should be good to go.
