i typically like those.
yeah that’s what i was referring to also i think the site activity looks a bit different in networks sort of tough for me to navigate your site since it’s not in english but i’ll check out the video later thanks again for sharing!
well buddypress has an additional page and some additional features for multisite networks that’s what i was referring to.
nice work thanks for sharing! wondering have you tested this in a network environment?
In reply to: how to hide admin activity on Buddypress activity?@mercime Quick question about your code, i had been using BP ninja successfully but i found that the “who’s online” widget is still available on sub sites and the plugin appears to not be effective on the sub sites showing my normally invisible super admin user so now i’m looking for alternative once again.
So my question is will this code cause all admins to be invisible or just super admins? i don’t think i’d want to hide anyone who creates a site.
Also has anyone entered this as a core feature request? Seems like it would be a great addition at least to me.
In reply to: n00b: how do members appear on the members page?glad to be a help!
In reply to: n00b: how do members appear on the members page?they might need to actually create some activity before they will show up in the directory normally registration counts but probably not if you add them in admin.
In reply to: Install failure with large user basemight also want to consider cleaning out your member list with wangguard or the unconfirmed plugin
In reply to: How to ensure my blog doesn’t send my traffic away?hmm just realized it doesn’t much matter the direction of syndication i’ll definitely have to check it out. so but just to confirm thought the multisite tags does allow you to specify sub-sites to have their posts automatically reposted to the main site? thanks again!
In reply to: How to ensure my blog doesn’t send my traffic away?@mercime wait, so the multisite tags thing allows you to specify certain sub-sites to automatically syndicate posts to main site? that’s part of what i want actually. i’d also like to be able to pull single posts from sites that aren’t set to automatically repost to the main.
that other one seems to do the reverse not sure i’d want that but had seen it before and is still interesting. you aren’t saying that it allows you to broadcast from sub site to main site are you? my read was that it only worked the other way around.
thanks!
In reply to: How to ensure my blog doesn’t send my traffic away?@mercime i was looking at that plugin recently because this other one:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/network-shared-posts/
doesn’t work anymore looking to have the ability to selectively take posts from sub-sites and repost to the main blog would the plugin you mentioned allow me to achieve that you think or am I’m DYI territory here you think? thanks!
In reply to: WooCommerce and buddypressyeah i doubt your host provides for enough ram to run both in shared (mind you i’m just speculating).
In reply to: [Resolved] WPMU BP 1.7(b) Sub Site Ajax URL Issue🙂
In reply to: BP 1.7 Beta 2 – Template Parts?i believe that turtleshell was moved from the official build to a potential thing at some point in the future.
In reply to: WooCommerce and buddypressyou could be over your memory limits i believe both woo commerce and buddypress are relatively memory hungry running both on a shared server or vps without much memory allocated probably wouldn’t get very far. just my thoughts.
In reply to: My BuddyPress Hosting Recommendationwell it’s an interesting post but it is contrary to my own personal experience with WP Engine i signed up right about the time he gave up. I would note the fact that he states that the CEO issued personal apology and reimbursement for the migration issue, thats seems like at least they took the issue seriously at some point. Also way he closes the post “Where I am today Back at Linode, back to running it myself.” This is exactly the reason it makes sense for people along a spectrum of technical expertise not just novices. Granted the WP managed hosts are not without their drawbacks and even WPE has some quirks that take a little getting used to.
WP Engine is the only company that provides both phone support and specialized wp hosting as far i know. The entire system is built from the ground up only to host WP sites. I cannot tell you how valuable it is when you call into support and you don’t have to explain how wordpress works or what buddypress is every time you are trying to get to the bottom of something. It is also the only hosting company i know that Automattic is financially involved in, to me that means something, i suspect it also means something to WPE.
In my experience the notion of a perfect host is a canard, what may be a great host today could be horrendous two years from now, but WPE aside from any deal killing kind of quirks is the best platform you could be hosted on aside from wordpress vip unless you truly can afford to do everything yourself.
In reply to: BP-default theme funky on secondary blogyeah idk but i do know that it’s meant for the primary site none of the buddypress stuff would do anything on the sub-sbites anyway.
In reply to: How to ensure my blog doesn’t send my traffic away?that last paragraph and a half is a little hard to follow at least for me the whole point of having a multisite network is to make each sub-site it’s own entity. I’m not sure if commons in a box is even designed to be run non multisite but perhaps posting your question on the commons in a box site might be more fruitful.
In reply to: Themes suggestionwell there are still things that can be done with themes designed specifically for buddypress granted the selection might be different but personally i’d say theres still value in highlighting themes which are particularly novel in terms of their buddypress related design.
just my 2 cents 🙂
In reply to: My BuddyPress Hosting Recommendation@synaptic as said before i would certainly agree that visitors is not the best way to gauge usage but it is the industry standard for this kind of hosting. These hosts are not simply slapping a few plugins on and calling it “wordpress hosting” at least not wp engine’s case. i know that people love to hate on dreamhost but their vps was fairly decent.
one thing i would say also is that you almost never know with the smaller hosting companies who you are actually buying your hosting from a lot of ‘hosts’ are simply reselling others’ services under their own brand. Oversell is common throughout the hosting world, always has been and just because your host maybe under capacity today doesn’t mean a thing if you outgrow them or they outgrow you. Fact of the matter is if you run buddypress then you are in the top 1% of sites in terms of server resources required to run your site, managed scalable wp hosting is a good solution for many situations, imo.
In reply to: My BuddyPress Hosting Recommendationwell his article is not really on this site he was just promoting the article here and i’ve seen some be far more blatantly self promoting in their posts. Anyway i would say that putting an affiliate link attached to a review/comparison certainly calls into question the objectivity of the author, generally speaking.
Regarding WP Engine i think you over simplifying you analysis of the situation, @synaptic. First off it is standard practice amongst the managed wordpress specialty hosts to charge by visitor count. I would be the first to agree that its probably not he bet way to count usage and lends itself to discrepancy but so far at least they have been more then reasonable with me at least about not holding my customers to the inflated numbers. Also they offer way more then just an optimized platform, all they do is wordpress granted if you are extremely experienced or well staffed you can achieve what they offer for probably less money but if you cannot devote that level of time or resources to your own infrastructure wp engine (as well as the other wp specialty hosts I’m sure) provides a real value. Our site runs quite bit faster and more securely on their platform then it did with a basically whole vps (2 in fact) on dreamhost.
back to @cannedbear ‘s question @ 25K per month you are really talking about 1000 per day or on average about 5 or 10 at any given time during a week day. Even at that level i would not personally recommend any shared hosting for buddypress and in fact i’d say at that level you probably wouldn’t want shared hosting for any wordpress site, remember site/page load time is one of the top factors now in determining your page rank in google search results (at least according to google).
i think “damage” is the wrong way to put it. the extraneous roles attached to your existing sites are meaningless and should be ignored in any case. you may be able to reset the old roles by running the built in bbpress repair scripts or alternatively you can install this plugin i use:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/
which also has the ability to sort of reset all users to their default roles and capabilities.
i know the feeling 🙂
well that’s probably the real bug then, those roles shouldn’t have any effect on a non-buddypress site which is what the sub-sites are unless you have made each site it’s own buddypress instance (not likely and you’d know if you had).
In reply to: BP-default theme funky on secondary blogi could be way off here but i don’t think the BP-default theme is meant to be run on anything other then a primary blog (without modification anyway).
