Hi @danbp, @johnjamesjacoby

Thank you for your response.

Like @jetlej here I find horrible the idea that in a community the private messages can be read by the admin of the community.

I don’t believe that a community would have a lot of registrations if the users knew that the admin has the option to read their private messages, even if he is not forced to do it.

Anyway I see that there is no option to avoid this.

P.S. Please, allow me to ask something: You said that it is also possible by reading the message table in the db. Does this mean that event the users passwords can be read from a table in the db?

Thank you again for the conversation.

Thanks danbp, that’s encouraging. Yes, allowing all users access to all site media is not ideal, but I’m moving my community from a Facebook group to my own private members site and they are used to regularly including images within their posts and comments. This is something all members do very regularly and if I don’t include this function they’ll be clambering to revert back to the Facebook group so I can’t see another solution, having images at attachments just won’t be the same as having them inline in posts. Obviously they won’t be expecting the functionality of my site to be on a par with Facebook but they will expect standard forum features like being able to upload inline images.

I have installed the bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab, but it doesn’t seem to work. The Add Media button has appeared which leads to the Media Library and it is possible to upload or select an image from there, but the Insert into Post button does not work. Any ideas?

Do I need to also use the snippet you posted above? I don’t know how to do that, should it go into the CSS settings in the Themes editor?

I don’t build sites for a living, just trying to create a site for my business so I’m not an expert on the technical stuff.

Really appreciate the help.

Yah I just wanted to make a university private social networking site..
I think there may be around 10-20 visitors at a time in the starting, and if after few days there may be increase in visitors…
There is a good hosting support…
Yah the server is reliable..

And one more thing @henrywright,
I have already started working on this, and also have installed the bpchat plugin. That was a great suggestion and thanks for that. I want only the friends to be shown rather than all the members of the website for the chat option.
The thing is that it is asking to change the options by the user which can be misused….
Please tell me a way so that I can give the option for them that they can only see the members who are their friends…Like in the case of facebook…
Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me @danbp. I’m using the theme “SocialBuddy” mostly but I have tested this on different themes/versions of Buddypress/versions of WordPress as well as different servers – dedicated and shared and the result is the same everywhere so it appears to be a bug.

I would be curious to know if you could replicate this:

1) Inside a PRIVATE group add a status update and then comment on this update. (or add a few comments). All good so far.
2) Now go to “My Groups” feed and you will see your status update as well as the comments. Try comment on any of the comments and see if they post correctly.

For me these comments only show up once I have refreshed the page.

I see you encountered and posted about a similar issue. Did you ever manage to resolve it? Are you able to replicate the issue I’m seeing? It’s also manifesting in other streams where private group updates show up. Sorry for tagging you but I’m desperate.

Everything looks ok in the database.

I also tried using the twentyfourteen theme and it didn’t help. Still not displaying the proper information in the dashboard under groups.

Sorry, not all is well.

I edit in my custom “register.php” , but I can’t see anything. This is the code of my register custom page:
