BuddyPress.org

I’m not sure we’re not talking at cross purposes here.

you say “new user was for main site” ok all fine and good but “mot a new created blog site” ? not sure what that means.

A new user registers they opt to create a new blog, they become a member of the main site i.e the parent WP site which is running BP they also get a blog created at a sub domain address this blog is in effect a standalone blog it should be linked to however from their profile. Iniatially they will be the only person registered to that sub domain blog and the main site has to allow users to register to the sub blogs.

Alright, you just add a do_action call (like above) to one of the extensions and then attach a function to that action, like so: `add_action( ‘this_is_some_hook’, ‘your_function_name’ )`. You’ll also have to provide hooks in the functions where the data gets saved and hook into those to save the extra groupmeta. The WP codex has lots of info on actions and filters and is a good place to start.

This isn’t an issue I’ve come across, you shouldn’t have a problem, that you say tings work with BP disabled yet not when BP is enabled is odd, I presume you have created a sub-domain under the WP setup, when activating BP BP should pick that blog up and show it under th members account/profile as a user blog.

Hmm not sure what the problem is then, you are using the default BP theme aren’t you

Have you enabled the registration of both users and blogs in the main site options?

Have you definitely enabled Multi Site capability – is this actually WP 3.0.1 or the now slightly older WPMU you are using?

Have you set DNS wild card entry to allow sub domains to work?

url.com/groups/ group name here /forum/#post-new

Instead of trying to change the URL of the activity feed, you should redirect the feed to the Feedburner URL.

Read this excellent blog entry by Jeff Starr for hints:

Hi @tubruk,

From what you typed, I can’t really confirm what it is you want to do.

Sounds more like a theme issue, you might want to check modemlooper’s BP Columns theme for hints on how to structure the page into 3 columns:
https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns

There’s also https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/moderate-new-blogs/ and https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/limit-blogs-per-user/ which could help

I am also looking for info on passing user_meta to the profile page. Let’s keep in touch.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/add-extra-fields-from-wordpress-profile-to-buddypress-profile-loop/

Someone did indeed post a code snippet that did exactly that, though I can’t find it myself any longer. Ideally though, this would be a plugin functionality that could be enabled per-group as a check list via the WordPress backend. I’d love to engage more users to the full potential of our groups, but fact is some of our groups still exist for the sole purpose of replacing the forum board we emigrated from.

If you deactivate buddypress..can you create and use custom permalinks in your WordPress install? Try something like /%category%/%postname%/

Do they work, can you go to page, post and category pages with custom permalinks turned on?

You need to get this working on your base WordPress before installing BuddyPress

Add this to wp-config.php `define( “BP_REGISTER_SLUG”, “your-registration-slug” );` and change ‘your-registration-slug to your own registration slug.

Edit * the wp-config.php file is situated in the root of your wordpress installation

you can block them all together (but will need to remove the previous ones manually)

otherwise there is a few hacks in previous threads on how to filter on the activity array and unset items.

There is not anything new in BP 1.2.6 that will address any spam issues. Spam blogs, however, is a problem with multisite WordPress in general (not specific to BuddyPress). It still sucks, of course.

You need to disable BuddyPress until your WordPress multisite is setup and works fully — by “fully”, I mean blog creation, multiple user accounts, commenting and permalinks.
