Usually forums are listed in alphabetical order using an order of 99 will make sure the forum will go at the bottom of the list.

They will go there, they just won’t be visible on the main forum page. They’ll just be visible in groups.

Cleantalk and wangguard are good plugin options too for preventing spam.

[Gnostic_Thought]

Create a forum call it anything really “Group Forums” for example and under the Visibility option set it too hidden also it will be a good idea to put an order of 99 on it.

I forgot about wordpress handling registration, I’ll keep searching I might of have found something on wpmudev.

I am not sure. I bought a plugin from codecanyon and am trying to alter it to work with buddypress. I think this is the code I will have to alter

public function __construct() {
		$this -> admin = WP_Atr_Admin :: get_instance();
		# registration hooks:
		add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', array( $this, 'initialize_registration' ) );
		add_action( 'register_form', array( $this, 'add_checkboxes_to_registration' ) );
		add_filter( 'registration_errors', array( $this, 'validate_registration' ), 10, 3 );

		# mu
		add_action( 'signup_header', array( $this, 'initialize_registration' ) );
		add_filter( 'wpmu_validate_user_signup', array( $this, 'mu_validate_registration' ), 10, 3 );
		add_action( 'signup_extra_fields', array( $this, 'mu_add_checkboxes_to_registration' ) );

		# add button
		add_filter( 'the_content', array( $this, 'add_button_to_pages' ) );
		$this -> register_page_status();
		if( is_multisite() ) {
			add_filter( 'all_plugins', array( $this, 'hide_plugin_in_mu_sites' ) );
		}
	}

I would figure I would prefix bp_ to some of the code here

# registration hooks:
add_action( ‘bp_login_enqueue_scripts’, array( $this, ‘initialize_registration’ ) );
add_action( ‘bp_register_form’, array( $this, ‘add_checkboxes_to_registration’ ) );
add_filter( ‘bp_registration_errors’, array( $this, ‘validate_registration’ ), 10, 3 );

but it like there is more to it than that according to your link.

Thanks for all your help. I don’t think I would need multisite at the moment, maybe when my site grows to have more dedicated bloggers. Can you give me your opinion on a plugin called Buddyforms http://themekraft.com/store/wordpress-front-end-editor-and-form-builder-buddyforms/

It looks better than BuddyBlog

Thanks once again

[Gnostic_Thought]

Yeah I’ve found that plugin and sorry about the multiple posts. I want their names showing in their profile so I won’t add the code but thanks.

How would MS work with Buddypress, does it integrate well with the buddypress profile page, will the users blog posts show up on the profile page. I heard a plugin called Gravity Forms can achieve this as well and a plugin called WP User Front-end.

[Gnostic_Thought]

I don’t think this will work for me, but it might. Will it leave the right hand menu intact (User menu)?
