There’s an old script available on code.google.com called “wordpress-to-bbpress-converter”. It generally does what I want it to do, only it works with the old standalone bbPress, which doesn’t even seem to be […]

I’d like to set some threshold of activity on my BuddyPress site after which users would automatically be upgraded to Author privileges. Is there some combination of plugins and settings that could do that? Or do […]

Ya know, I’ll bet I can work with that! This is a great forum, thank you.

Actually, on closer inspection none that I could find would really do. For one thing, I don’t need to replace the existing login widget. But mainly, I want an area that appears as part of the front page layout, […]

I want my site to have a panel on the home page, only visible to people who aren’t logged in, saying something like, ”Welcome! On this site you can x, y, and z. Register today!” And once you sign in, it goes away. […]

I want my site to have a panel on the home page, only visible to people who aren’t logged in, saying something like, “Welcome! On this site you can x, y, and z. Register today!” And once you sign in, it goes away. How do I do that?

TIA

Very helpful! Would that be the “Community Blog” plugin by Burt Adsit? And the Quick Post Widget looks good at first glance — is there an advantage to some of the others that you mention? Thanks a lot.

I want users to be able to post blog entries as soon as they’re registered, and for those entries to appear in their entirely (at least if they’re no longer than a few column-inches) in a common blog that is the most prominent part of the home page. Can anyone help guide me to the […]
