OK, thank you.

I am trying to resolve certain problems with my Buddy Press install, namely, the fact that the only way an admin can gain access to the “Dashboard” is either by logging in through the hosting account (which I won’t grant access to as there are other sites hosted on the account) or by waiting for […]

@Modemlooper: in the WP backend @pswriter: Pardon me if this is a stupid questiont, as I am new to a lot of this, but why do I need to give them “SuperAdmin” status? Why can’t regular “Admin” status work? All I need is for some people to approve/ban new members (spammers) and maybe patrol the forums/groups. […]

I need to promote one or more users to Administrator (or Super Administrator) status to approve/delete new or spammer/abusive members, along with patrolling Groups and Forums to clean up content. I did that with a test account to see what level of access a promoted user gets. When I logged into my network under this […]

Paul S started the forum topic Requiring new members to be approved first in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 3 months ago

Any way for a BuddyPress site to require new members to be approved first before gaining access to the site? My network is new but has attracted the attention of spammers. They haven’t caused trouble (yet) but I would like to prevent this by requiring any new applicant to join be held in a queue […]

I just transferred my Ning network to my Buddy Press installation on my domain. However, the outgoing notification email of the move had garbage for the username and password. I sent out another email suggesting that people use the “Lost Password” function. However, that doesn’t work, I get the error message:

The “Mail From” email address is a working account.

The “Mail From” plugin does indeed work. In the Dashboard I had to go to the Settings menu, in there was listed the “Mail From” plugin. The sender email was a nonexistent account, which was the problem. I changed it to an existing account. I just created a new user account in the website, and […]

Apparently it now does work. Although it took a few hours for my activation email to arrive, it did. But, the sender email address wasn’t the admin email (the one listed as the one from which all activation/notification emails are sent from) it was an weird email from BlueHost. mybluehostusername @box###.bluehost.com. Should I take this up […]

OK, I have a BuddyPress install on my website, which is hosted by BlueHost. I’m using WP ver 3.0 and BP ver 1.2.5.2. I have searched all over for the solution to the problem apparently addressed in this thread, but the suggested “Mail From” plugin doesn’t work. I just logged out as Admin, and signed […]

I have this same problem with my BuddyPress installation. I searched these forums for the solution, if any, saw this and tried to apply it. I do not see the option for “Tick the box next to ‘membership – anyone can register’.”

Where is it?
