I am experiencing strange User Role behavior with Groupblog:

I created a private (or public) group and group blog (with links to the blogs front end) with default role pairings (user=author, mod=editor, admin=admin) — the blog was created successfully, and invitations were sent out.

But my subscriber had only a subscriber role on the MAIN BLOG — When they try access http://www.example.com/blog1/wp-admin they get sent to http://www.example.com/wp-admin/?c=1 (which incidentally kills my dashboard hide script…)

THEN, I changed the member/subscriber to moderator (by the groups admin page) and this gave them Author privileges… ON THE MAIN BLOG! No role for the group blog.

WP: 3.0.1
BP: 1.2.5.2
Groupblog: 1.4.4

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I would be very interested to hear about the dashboard hide script you’re using?

Unfortunately much hasn’t happened with the development of the brilliant groupblog plugin recently…

Hi @Bpisimone –

No worries – I’ve been using Filosofo Remove Dashboard plugin from wordpress. And I fixed the above issue by adding:

if (preg_match(‘#wp-admin/?(.*)?$#’,$_SERVER) && (‘index.php’ != $menu[$page][2])) //send everything packing
wp_redirect(get_option(‘siteurl’));

Around line 53 – just below the index.php redirect.

Hope that helps.

Now.. back to our regularly scheduled GroupBlog question
