Try changing default role here (domain.com/wp-admin/wpmu-blogs.php?action=editblog&id=1) and here (domain.com/wp-admin/options.php) to “contributor” then do a test registration to see if the new user is a contributor or subscriber.

If that doesn’t work in wp-includeswpmu-functions.php change this:

add_user_to_blog(‘1’, $user_id, ‘subscriber’);

to this:

add_user_to_blog(‘1’, $user_id, ‘author’);

That should take care of all future signups, however existing users will be unchanged. If you don’t have too many users yet you can simply manually change them to authors, however, if you have a lot of signups check out this thread for a way to mass add users as authors.

@mikepratt i developed a plugin that cut the excerpt BPDEV-FORUM-EXCERPT. Look it working here:

http://buddypressdev.org/groups/plugins-extendings/forum/

as you can see, it shows only the first 140 word without cutting them and adding 3 consecutive fullstop..

the member theme is an higly hacked version of the buddypress-member, i integrated my own theme with it.

try for now buddypressdev.org/plugins/bpdev-flickr

when a new user signs up they will get the “default” them, /wp-content/themes/default

replace that with whatever theme you want them to get, in this case, the buddypress theme

@burtadsit Thanks for that

Howdy. There is probably some slick way to unregister a widget and then re-register it again with a different name but looks like you need the widget $id. Wherever that comes from. Anyway, /mu-plugins/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php line numbers 12/13:

register_sidebar_widget( __('Members', 'buddypress'), 'bp_core_widget_members');

register_widget_control( __('Members', 'buddypress'), 'bp_core_widget_members_control' );

‘Members’ to ‘Whatever’. They’ll vanish from the page(s) and you’ll have to add ’em back where you want them.

@Mike,

here a function to use to cut text,

hi burtadsit,

I’ve tried editing the php.ini and my notification emails are still sending out as “myusername@box441.bluehost.com”. I’ve tried changing my outgoing email in Operational Settings in wordpress’s dashboard to an email that i’ve set up on bluehost but that’s not working either. It appears that a ton of people are having this same problem on bluehost. there’s gotta be a simple answer. could it be the pluggable.php file or some other file in wordpress that I can manually edit? I can’t launch my new site with buddypress until i resolve this.

thanks in advance for your help!

Nick
