Thank you for your reply and for the link. Good to know it is not just our system. To date, Buddypress is the only plugin we have tested that fails to provide a useful title (traditionally, Page | Site ).
I disagree with the point, however, that only a page should be cited in a page title. Just as with a book, a page is only part of a site. The name of just a page is fairly useless in bookmarking, just as with with a book. We may know we left off at page 123, but without knowing which book, it is not very helpful. 😉
A quick web search pulls up instances (including CUNY) of the Buddypress title problem of “Site Directory Directory,” as well, which makes one wonder if BP could leave title control to WP somehow.
Thanks again for taking time out for the informative feedback, albeit disappointing.
Thanks for the feedback, bp-help. We didn’t use your plugin. There were others we used (especially BuddyPress Private Community) and some BP hacks.
The BP team and the plug developers all seem like great folks, and the community is friendly and active. Have spent a lot of time with vids of their presentations. Like the product, like the people, but the privacy of closed communities is critical. The question is still out there:
Is it actually possible to create a members-only community with BuddyPress 2.1.1. and multi-site WP without hacking BP?
