@mike84 and in response to your previous question, yes I do a fair bit of moderating – running a community takes a lot of work, buddypress is a great tool to start but it takes time to make a community.
@raquel24or I missed you comment, I only get email notifications if you use @ewebber
FB plugin I use is mentioned above
The code for each of the social links are readily available on the relevant websites, I use 3 individual ones, if linkedin have one then you could use that too.
@tommyhoang you can remove that line from the relevant file in your child theme, probably something like groups> forum> single.php although you’ll need to check that file name
@harty I played around with if statements in my actual child theme php pages, but it’s likely that the second link you posted might be the best way to go – I think a bp developer might know best.
@naijaping you’re probably best creating the logo in the size you want it to display and creating a .png with a transparent background – you should try not to use css to change the size of it
Yes, but people don’t read the rules, they are useful so they you can remove posts later, but it won’t completely stop them. I do restrict group creation now, but I wouldn’t have wanted to start the site that way.
@harty is this in response to the email that you sent me?
For the benefit of the forum, the question came from:
I am building a similar site in new Zealand and wonder if you can tell me how you separated out and formatted the local business section.
So far, my site has attracted people who create groups as adverts for their business, which is very disappointing.
How do you manage this?
I think there is a plugin that can do it, or you can use php if statements to choose who sees what.
A real developer can correct me if that’s not a great way to do it.
@esploded I’d suggest starting with a clean version of wp/bp you can set up a new site on your MAMP, if that doesn’t work then there is something up with your settings.
If you want help from the forum it might be worth you setting this up on a server rather then keeping it local so you can show people.
