definitely questionable if you have an alternate forum up already but the main thing you would be getting would be a tighter integration and less trouble you might want to look into it a bit and see if theres an easy way to convert your existing data to bbpress format.
i don’t think using the wordpress css editor would be the way to create that file normally you would use some other text editor i typically use dreamweaver.
yeah well I’m not sure if you can regress a multisite back to single site (maybe you don’t actually have to) but if you don’t want that functionality and you are still in development it might be good to start over yes. it sounds like what you actually want is simply a single wp install with new users default roles set to author or contributor (depending on wether you want the people to post unapproved).
there is no perfect solution for this problem and these “bots” are actually humans a good deal of the time i have had good experience with WangGuard though.
yeah i’d say cubepoints is probably the closest thing to what you are seeking but as you mentioned in the other thread there are integration issues, also i’ve seen that cubepoints isn’t very network friendly.
yeah correct me if i’m wrong but the bp-default theme files (assuming we aren’t actually talking about a child) would count as core files would they not? Anyway anytime you upgrade a theme (again assuming you haven’t made child that contains your changes) you would need to re-apply your modifications or displeasure will probably find you. i make notes on such changes so it’s easy to upgrade painlessly.
There is no perfect solution other then to disable registration entirely but i have had a good experience with WangGuard. FYI a good chunk of these “bots” are actually humans (at least at some point) believe it or not.
Seems like there should be an official place for such things and if not the codex then where?
Definitely a useful tip @umagokhale an issue that comes up quite a bit. Seems a bit odd your links are redirecting to customwebdesignseo.com even though you have already rebranded to 83 Oranges on the site and you obviously own both domains, but it is a nice looking site.
i think maybe we over thinking this a bit i don’t think @somdefabrica actually mentioned modifying any core files. Generally speaking there is no reason you should be afraid to update wordpress or plugins such as buddypress. It is always a good idea to make a backup (preferably in maintenance mode) prior to any upgrade or adding a new plugin or theme, just in case you have trouble or don’t care for the results.
Is there some reason you are afraid to upgrade specifically or are you just saying that upgrades are scary, generally speaking? If that’s the case i would suggest to you that not upgrading, especially with open source software carries it’s own set of risks. Generally speaking if you don’t want to upgrade something wordpress related you should have a very specific reason.
i have the same problem started as soon as we switched from single to multi i was thinking it might have had something to do with WangGuard are you using that or no?
well if you have already enabled multisite i don’t think that option will show up so you may need to backtrack a bit. i hope my misread of your desire hasn’t caused any inconvenience.
well all i’m saying here is that you want a lot of stuff none of which is standard out of the box, so if you want to make it happen you will either need to find plugins which do the various components and then string them all together somehow into a cohesive UX or pay someone to help you build it.
