1) Disable user registration in WordPress, and create user accounts manually via the wp-admin screens.

2) This is default WordPress multisite behaviour.

3) You will need some kind of front-end posting form […]

No, it’s not (out of the box, anyway).

bbPress 1 or 2 (aka group forums or site wide forums)?
Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Why BP doens't keep past tranlations in Glotpress? in the group Localization 13 years, 10 months ago

I understand now. Thanks. I don’t think there’s much we can do about 1.5 translations at this stage.

Sounds like you’re might have found a bug. Please would you make a report on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org ? thanks
Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Why BP doens't keep past tranlations in Glotpress? in the group Localization 13 years, 10 months ago

I don’t know about past translations, but we do use https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress

If you are having trouble finding a past translation, best place to ask for support is […]

On your site or this one?
Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Advice sought from BP experts in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 10 months ago

That’s a bit off topic for this thread, but BuddyPress does not use custom post types.

Thanks — https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4301

On your second point, Comments filter should return blog comments. It’s working on testbp.org, and if you have the same issue on 1.5.6, open a topic on […]

We haven’t finished putting together a list yet (there’s a lot). Hope to do it sometime this week, maybe after another Beta release goes out.
Paul Wong-Gibbs commented on the post, BuddyPress 1.5.6, on the site BuddyPress.org 13 years, 10 months ago

There are differences from 1.5. I suggest you translate on https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/dev, someone may have already made progress on your language.
Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Editors have to be able to edit other user profiles in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 10 months ago

No, not in 1.5. We’ve added a ‘bp_moderator’ capability into 1.6. It basically replaced all the is_super_admin() checks. I don’t know if we ever finished implementing.

You could grant certain users the […]

Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic BP 1.6 Beta1, Trunk v.6132 and updating correctly in the group Installing BuddyPress 13 years, 10 months ago

Ok. Before we play on your test server you need to contact your host and ask if you have SSH access to use a terminal. In the interim, we can try the concept out locally on your Mac.

How familiar are you with […]

I can try to help with some basic SVN directions. Are you on a Mac or Windows or Linux?
Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic Custom validation xprofile field in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 10 months ago

Try

add_filter( ‘xprofile_data_is_valid_field’, ‘pbd_admin_is_valid_field’, 10, 2 );
Paul Gibbs replied to the forum topic BP 1.6 Beta1, Trunk v.6132 and updating correctly in the group Installing BuddyPress 13 years, 10 months ago

Do you upload files to your test site via FTP? Do you have SSH (terminal) access to it? Do you know how to use a terminal to log into another server?

For that, you’re best to ask on the http://bbpress.org forums.
