Reply To: How can I make each user creating account && site, a member of the main site
If anyone knows of a BuddyPress plugin that requires setting role capabilities
Buddypress itself does not require setting role capabilities – so a Buddypress plugin usually should not need this. Most of the commonly used buddypress plugins like photo/album (rtmedia), location plugins, imath’s Rendzevous ( sort of an Event plugin with a difference) do NOT require setting role capabilities and works well in the above scenario.
I actually tried this extensively even before I saw this post – its purpose is something different. It will not add users to the main site.
If anyone knows of a BuddyPress plugin that requires setting role capabilities and works without members belonging to the main site
Event Manager does this. It requires setting role capabilities and yet no one has to manually set the members belonging to the main site. It has a very wide range of configuration options that makes it rather “heavy” – still I could have used it but it has no Attendee options. It lacks “Attending : Yes | NO | Maybe ” and an Attendee list that others can see. Apart from this, from frontend it offers same functions and users can add Events from the profile too with Location Map etc.
A huge amount of thanks and gratitude to @shanebp, who is actually doing tremendous amount of help and work for the buddypress events plugin. Kudos!
