@mercime I am using the latest versions of WP and BP and as you stated above `”Private Messages can only be sent to and received by Friends.”` I have found on my test server a possible bug if this is supposed to be the way it functions as stated above. The ajax auto fill in for the User/Friends name will work if you are friends, however it does not work if your not friends, but if you manually type in the users name even if your not friends the private message still goes through and is delivered to the person you are not friends with. Keep in mind these test users are subscribers only and not admins, so is this a possible bug? Thanks!

Let your users make friend connections so they can track the activity each other, and focus on the people they care about the most.

– @tdempsey2012 Private Messages can only be sent to and received by Friends
– Friends who are Group Admins can send invitations to friends to join the group created.
– All those who accepted your friendship request show up in the Friends tab of your Profile page and you can check out the activities of your friends.
– Of course, if you’re Super Admin, you don’t need to be friending everybody to send messages to one and all.

The simplest approach may be to surpress the “click here to activate your account” emails, and use something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/ to manually activate them.

One option is to set the groups as “private”, not “public”. People can’t auto-join then.

The constant you refer to ought to work in BP 1.6+, it’s not been deprecated.

You do that in Settings > Privacy where you choose “Ask search engines not to index this site.”

How do you set a blog as ‘private’ in a multisite / Buddypress setup?

Is the blog definitely set to private as thought (haven’t checked) if it was it wasn’t designed to show in stream? Someone else may be able to confirm that but thought it was the case.

Hello Paul,
I’d like to be able to attach a document to a “private message”.

Or Gravity Forms (paid plugin) + Gravity Forms Directory Add on

Hi
Search being broken is a known problem it says elsewhere. You can use Google to search the site add site:buddypress.org to your search.

You can use a plug in like Members List to display the data of all members or those that meet certain criteria on some other page on your site.

What have you changed recently in your installation? WP/BP versions? Single/Multisite? New/Old install? In other words, more info needed.

Hi @ubernaut

I have installed the plugin and it happens the same: it appears to have the option but when I tested it the policy is not enforced and even logged out users can see the private fields on my site.

@voarsh either you’d have to learn to code this yourself
or ask WebPurify if they’d create a plugin to integrate with BuddyPress
or hire a developer to do so at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/ or http://jobs.wordpress.net

1. Sure. If you want the complaints to be private, just set up a contact form. If you want complaints to be public or semi-private set up Group and/or Sitewide forums.

2. You need the Domain Mapping plugin. Then you need either:
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ OR
– http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-multi-network-plugin-create-multiple-separate-social-networks-on-a-single-buddypress-install/
You’d have to ask plugin devs whether either or both are compatible with Domain Mapping plugin though I haven’t heard issues with either so far.

3. In either multinetwork plugins above, there are ways and means to do what you need – some coding required.

4. Yes, using either of the multinetwork plugin above, you do keep those components separate.

5. Yes, I posted both in #2

6. No, the networks do not have to use the same theme at all.

7. No limit to number of networks. One can only be limited by server and coding skills.

Isn’t this what happens / is supposed to happen when you make the group a private group at [Group name/Admin/Settings – on the front of the site accessible if you are logged in as site administrator/group administrator?

” This is a private group
Only users who request membership and are accepted can join the group.
This group will be listed in the groups directory and in search results.
Group content and activity will only be visible to members of the group.”

Or if you’re multisite, a private blog for a specific group https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/

@hkcharlie The Walled Garden is just a child theme I used privately and I decided to let others use it because it was a good starting point for a private community and its based on the BP Default 100%. If you look at some of the code in BP FriendPress you will see some of the same functions that was in that child theme. You will want to comment out the same code because it will cause issues by re-declaring. The area in both the child theme and plugin is well commented so it should be easy for you to locate the part you need to comment out.
