I was thinking kind of how gmail, in its early days, gave each new users 100 invites to send to people and you could only join the network through the invites.
I found this plugin for regular WP installs, Release Plus, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/register-plus/, that has a lot of the functionality I’m thinking about but doesn’t mesh with Andy’s invite system. Would be great to have something that plays nice with BuddyPress.
Thank you Andy for taking time out from getting the beta release ready to help. Your help was spot on. I’m wondering why all the permissions weren’t set at 755 to begin with. I’m going through individually setting them to the right levels but its quite painstaking.
To be clear I’m using the latest WPMU and r658 of BuddyPress. Also, though I said above member-themes didn’t work when I followed the readme instructions and so I moved it to wp-content/themes/, I’ve since moved it back to follow the readme instructions exactly. Things still not looking right. Help?
