@jwack @rogercoathup something like this? http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/featured-posts-plugin-and-widget/

Yes. WordPress does blogging very well.

@jimsnaps “So is there no way to use buddypress, block out what’s not needed, and add an article mod? ” I answered based on your requirements, and you mentioned forums were optional 🙂 No intention to limit you at all, just keeping it simple and clear. Of course you could install BuddyPress, and activate only the […]

This is BP 1.2.5.2 bp-default theme’s index.php for your reference,

Do you mean adding images to blog post? http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/05/embedding-photos-video-audio-into-your-posts/

That is strange indeed. What did you add/delete/upgrade in your install before strange behavior was manifested? Could it be new user is typing in foreign characters or playing around OR is your install for a private community?

“I want to have many users, major emphasis on articles and basically block out all the rest.” Single install of WP 3.0.1 and you[ don’t even need BuddyPress. You can even use the Mingle Forums plugin which doesn’t require the Mingle plugin or SimplePress Forum plugin. As for central profile area, you can create WP […]

Deactivate BuddyPress and BP Plugins, set Appearance to a regular WP theme.
Then go back and activate BuddyPress only, set Appearance to BP-compatible theme and go to frontend.

@mdehart85 With WP 3.0.1 you can go mulisite in subdirectory mode then, as @pcwriter mentioned above, install BP in secondary blog. You can have different themes on each site. If for your own reasons you still want the separate WP blogs using same database – read this . Make sure that both WP installs are working before installing BP […]

@latenitebooks plugin delayed because of another plugin.
There are non-plugin solutions which would involve manually adding javascript on relevant pages and code within respective forms. Also, If I’m not mistaken, the plugin I mentioned would be good for child themes of bp-default theme but would require some addition of template tags for…[Read more]
