BuddyPress.org

Ahh okay, that’s what I thought!

At the minute once the user logs in it redirects the to their profile page. How and where do i include that code so the home button disappears?

Those are two different questions. Login With Ajax would help with the redirect. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/login-with-ajax/

As for the home button, in your header.php you just wrap is user logged in around Home. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/367625?replies=5 for a bit more (and some oddities people are having with it…)

Yep, you’ve got it exactly right – in /wp-admin/post-new.php.

If you want to let your users post from within the front-end, take a look at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-quickpress/. It hasn’t been updated in a long while so if it doesn’t work, hopefully someone else is aware of an alternate.

Yes, I meant what techguy said. If the original OP{ was using extra plugins for BuddyPress that gathered and used information across the site/network/whatever, then *those* items may not work properly if he downgrades to single WP.

Because you know someone’s gonna have a BP install with every extra BP plugin out there installed, will downgrade from MU to WP, then come back here screaming that stuff broke. I could also point to another thread where a user is wonder where the “recent siteiwde posts” widget is, but he’s running single WP not MU, so that’s why it doesn’t show up.

(tangent: some mu functions did get renamed in 3.0 but the current functions still exist. They are listed as deprecated though, so at some point plugins authors will need to catch up.

There’s also the fuzzy meaning of the word “features”. ;P )

And yes, waiting until 3.0 will make downgrading SO much easier…

There is some difference between WP 3.0 MultiSite and WPMU 2.9.2, but I don’t think any features are missing. I know some functions have been renamed (wpms versus wpmu) but for the most part, I thought @andrea_r meant what @techguy said.

@techguy – I’m aware of that. But andrea_r noted something different about some WPMU features (I’m guessing deprecated functions, unless I’m misinterpreting something).

r-a-y,
WP 3.0 will have all the same sitewide features as MU. That is if in WP 3.0 you click the option to allow multiple blogs on the same install. However if you don’t turn that on, then WP 3.0 will act like a single install of WP. I think that’s what Andrea_r meant.

If you’re on WPMU and want to move to the standard WP, you should wait for WP 3.0 to make that transition. With the merging of the code bases, it should be easier.

WordPress has this built in – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in

Are you using the default permalinks? If so, please try changing them:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Choosing_your_permalink_structure

1 Upload bp-member-filter.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2 Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3 Add a form to your members/index.php or some other file (See: http://pastebin.com/bw0suXwe )
4 Smile

@andrea_r – can you elaborate on the sitewide features that WP 3.0 won’t have?

This is a longstanding issue with WP/WPMU/BP. I’m not sure why in 3.0 the existing profile page wasn’t discontinued in favour of something that doesn’t require access to admin and that would be trumped if a BP install was present.

“or will my site loose any features?”

If you have any extra plugins that pull in sitewide features from across blogs, you might.

In WordPress 3.0 which will be released soon you can have blogs for users as well when using the multi-site options.

Buddypress works fine with WP 2.9.2. I am using both.
I am not sure I understand your problem.
Are you saying that you can’t sign in to the site?
Can’t register?
How about posting a link to your site.
I don’t like the WP register/login screen so I use a login with Ajax plugin.

The only difference between WPMU and WPSA is that WPMU offers blogs to your users.

If you are on wordpress, yourposts/pages will have pretty permalinks, like yoursite.com/category/post-title-name instead of yoursite.com/?p=12433 etc.
It is better for you as will give you better SEO and for BP It is required.
Just change the permalinks from numeric to something else.
And as far as I remember, all your posts (previous link) will also function without any issue.
