Looks perfect (at a quick glance)

Thanks for your help.

The other CMS is bespoke, so I know that it won’t be just plug and go.

Automatically signing up makes sense… although I thought that I had seen somewhere in the forums that using an API to sign new members up was “a bad thing”. But I can’t remember why!

Can you point me to where I should be adding a the member (in the code) – I am assuming that I need to create the member / user in WordPress, and allow BuddyPress to use that authentication. Or should I be adding the user in BuddyPress? As you can tell, I haven’t downloaded it yet, until I check if I can use it.

Good thinking – sometimes you can spend so long cursing something, that sensible suggestions like yours disappear!

Whilst I am getting new sites on-line, I often make the root folder, (public_html), password protected via cpanel.

I call the folder “Site Closed for Development”, so visitors get a pop-up with that text on it, asking for user name and password that only I have, although I can give it to anyone needing to view and approve the site

Crude, but very effective.

After a delay, without responses, I just decided to rebuild the menu as a separate menu in the code for the page.

I still wonder if there is a simple way to integrate WordPress and Buddypress Menu items for future projects
