Thanks @andrewteg! I was seriously beginning to think I dreamed the whole thing up…not sure why I could not find this page, but that is EXACTLY where I was.

Now, since I have found what I was looking for, I’d really like to get some opinions of the plugin and see if this will actually do what I am planning for this site. I am open…[Read more]

In other words, when a user click on either the “Forums” page OR the “Groups” page, I would want the RULES & POLICIES to be the first thing they see before doing any posting.

It’s a great “free plugin”…I am going to add it to our own site shortly. We are in the process of creating a brand new site right now and it’s not ready to launch yet, but we are planning on including it in our site.

If you Google that topic, you will see that “Facebook” is no longer required to “sue” you, they will simply have the domain taken down, similar to the lawsuit won by “Craig’s List” which also won the right to do the same. They will not even give consideration to…[Read more]

It does this so that previously registered users do not get directed to the registration page. Pretty good idea actually! Anyway…log out and access the site and it will take you to the…[Read more]

That makes sense too. Actually, it was not set to the homepage, but I WAS logged in already and that’s why it would not take me to registration. I tried logging out and going back to it and if you click on the Registration tab, it does take you to the registration page.

Thanks Henry and everyone for all your help! 🙂

I didn’t want to include this in my last topic as it is really doesn’t relate in any way. My question is…does anyone have any suggestions for writing “Forum Rules”? Is there like a “standard” rules template that one could modify to better accommodate your site?

This is perfect! I was actually using the original site I put up as a tempsite until I had the whole Buddy Press and bbpress thing figured out.

While I am here, I wanted to ask someone what the best way to set up registration for BuddyPress is. In other words, where should I put the registration link? I have seen lots of people that use a widget in the sidebar, or also a nice little link up at the top of the page.

What is the BEST way to show the Registration link in your…[Read more]

Part of the reason I am thinking that this will work for this particular site is that most of the users there are very engaged just through the comments.

I think I read something similar awhile back stating that is was better to install bbpress using FTP. I can do it either way, but I’d prefer to do it through BuddyPress so I’ll try that first and see what happens. We’ve backed everything on the site up, so if something goes “awry”…we’ll be ready for it! LOL

It was an “afterthought”! LOL
Is there ANY order in which to install BuddyPress and bbpress? In other words, should we install one before the other? Right now, we have neither one installed and need both social networking AND forum capabilities.
