Point well taken! Thanks, @boonebgorges I guess a good solution would be to find a plug-in that lets you “replicate/migrate” an existing user’s xprofile contents to a a new user then you can delete the original user. Fortunately, I’ve only had to deal with this situation one time and, although i thought it might be […]

When a new member registers, I want to add a more paragraph of my own words AFTER the “Sign Up Complete!” message.

I’m using BP 1.2.5.2 on WP 3.01 with the default theme.

The “Publish” vs. “Submit-for-Review” button option is determined by the users role definition. an AUTHOR will have the PUBLISH button available on a Post page; whereas, a CONTRIBUTOR will have the Submit-for-Review button.
