Why are basic things so complicated in BP? This should be done by default. Anyway.

That’s the full code to add in single.php? Wondering also where it goes. Not working under:

<?php comments_template(); ?>

OK, progress. It’s in bp-core-templatetags.php

if ( function_exists( ‘bp_blogs_install’ ) ) {

$selection_box .= ‘<option value=”blogs”>’ . __( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘</option>’;

}

I can delete that, but any idea how to configure this so that the drop down allows a search of posts, rather than blogs?

Amending this issue – the blog search should work to search the one blog affiliated with the site – the main URL – but searching via blog comes up with nothing, regardless of the search string.

Why not just restrict emails so they can only be sent to one user at a time? Non-bot PM spammers probably won’t want to bother having to spam step by step.

Any code for this in the meantime?

I may not be following b/c I’m not so php literate, but my goal is to not only have my posts on the frontpage, it’s other authors as well. And this gives me the ability to front-page member blog posts by selecting the category “features.”

By “add blog” I mean add blog posts, not an entirely new blog, if it makes a difference. I’m just allowing people to write a new post.

I’m not sure why this isn’t scalable for a larger community.

For future reference, I figured out how to do this: I’m using the plugin

So long as people join the group associated with the main site, they’re able to add blogs to the site. I make everyone a contributor so their blogs aren’t published automatically and I can then add them to the category – Member Blogs.
