Yes, but I’m not a fan of the grid service in general. Winds up being slow.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Keep going. I’m on a site still in dev after 2 years. *sigh*

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Get Firebug to find it and linking to your site helps. CSS is in the theme’s style.css file.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

What theme is it?

Usually it’s the theme code itself that needs to be fixed. Also, it’s not mu any more, it’s multisite if you have multiple blogs.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

I think if @nunujo wants the *same* BP to show across all subsites, he’d be better off using the define bp multiblog.

“Update: Enabling the ‘Mail From’ plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/ solves the problem.

I’m not thoroughly satisfied with this solution because it is too mysterious , but at least it is a solution.”

It’s not mysterious – it;s a symptom of exactly what I described. The hosts on the receiving end are killing the emails that are sent because they were *automated*. Changing the from address so it come from a “legit” email, instead of wordpress@yourdomain, made it so it got delivered.

Launch early, launch often. And launch at 70%. If anything having users in there asap gives better feedback than being in constant development and never opening the doors.

Put a noindex on your signup link. Look at your access logs – I bet the majority of spammers do a google search then hit your site.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

” you can check out the upload directory which in most cases is wp-content/uploads …”

Not always a definitive as you can move that.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

The “create blog” text only shows up if you’ve enabled multisite. Which I’m not sure the book covers.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

A hook manager I can get behind.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

You’d have to set up multisite to give your users separate blogs so they can post.

@naved and post a liunk to your site so we can see what theme you;re using.

As hnla said, don;t paste long pieces of code liek that. and you;re looking in the wrong spot. that;s a core wp file which you will never edit. the linsk will show *dynamically* in your theme.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

-1 for all those theme options. At least 2 can be handled by plugins if the admin wants all that extra functionality.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

there’s entirely new rewrite rules for multisite now.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

That is excellent news.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

link to your site please.

I suspect it’s either permalinks or you haven’t finished setting up compatibility in your theme.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

“and it does support sending email and has for a few new user registrations.”

So it has actually *sent* mail.

Edit:

Your server is not the problem. Not entirely anyway. I signed up to your site and got two emails – one with an activation link and one confirmation email. Exactly like I am supposed to.

So your problem is *not* the server is not sending email. The problem is some of the people signing up are not getting them. Which means it’s mostly on their end. You can do a reverse dns entry, like @hnla stated above, but really that’s all you can do for some places like Hotmail & Comcast.

Here’s another spot to find people:

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Why are you putting index.php in the permalinks though? That will interfere. This link http://massagebournemouth.com/wp/index.php/wp/uncategorized/ still does not work. I got that from your nav menu.

And you do not need to create pages in the admin area. Delete them.

Hostgator is usually fine – just get a regular ol’ Linux package, nothing fancy. Many people are using BuddyPress on Hostgator.

What do you have on your permalink settings page?

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Greg’s an old client.

Sometimes we have room to troubleshoot stuff, sometimes we don’t. It’d basically be an hour consult.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

If you want users to have theor own separate blogs, you need to create a network (enable multisite).

https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
http://wpebooks.com/2010/09/how-to-enable-multisite-in-wordpress/

Then you can put BP on the main blog or one of the sub blogs fairly easily.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

2 minutes later – I did it in Firebug, so I’d say “it’s easy”. Dunno if you want to include it by default though.
