Tested new install of below and not working:
wordpress3.0.1+buddypress1.2.6-bleeding (branches_1.2-r3194)

Settings > Privacy > Site Visibility
I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors

Let me know if need to list other settings

@mercime: Thanks for responding. I mean WordPress is in a different directory than the homepage, as per this. You’re absolutely right, for anonymous users it shows a blank page. As a logged in user it shows me this.

I put two links as HTML in this, hopefully they’re displayed as such…

“Don’t just cut and paste my comment and edit in the word “NOT” – it will confuse people.”

Not true, I edit words “the post”, “BUT” and “NOT.”

I’m sorry that you thought it will confuse people. I didn’t cut and paste your comment so therefore I altered your comment to my comment without quote. The quote means it’s your comment. Without quote it means my comment.

“On my default installation post titles DO work correctly, but page title don’t work.”

My post titles DO NOT work correctly. The post title is “My blog | Home”

My page title DO NOT work correctly. The page title is “My blog | Home”

“If they don’t work on your installation, please make this clear in your reply. I’ll have to leave you to figure out why that is giving a problem on your install, or someone else to step in with thoughts.”

There is no problem in my installation. The WordPress is fine and after install BuddyPress is fine too but the title tag is incorrectly. So that means it is BuddyPress problem. You just admitted:

“You are right about pages though: pages such as About are not getting the correct title tag set. I’ll report this as a separate thread.”

I use:

WordPress 3.0.1
BuddyPress: Version 1.2.5.2
Theme: BuddyPress Default 1.2.5.2

Thanks, Mikey3D

PS: There is some confusing with words “post title” and “page title.”

My thought of “post title” is after you click the headline link on the FrontPage to see the page and the title tag is the post title tag.

My thought of “page title” is after you click the “About” navigation link to see the page and the title tag is the page title tag because it‘s a static page.

I’m not talking about H1, H2 for title.

In my default installation, the post is working correctly: posts like “Hello World” BUT they are NOT getting the title of the post added to the title tag (albeit at the end of the string)

Look at this URL: [Edit]

I see the title tag is “My blog | Home” – what do you see?

“You are right about pages though: pages such as About are not getting the correct title tag set.

I’ll report this as a separate thread.”

Thank God! I hope you get this. I think you are using wpmu, I use wordpress.

Thanks, Mikey3D

thanks, this is quite useful to address the issue to block out everything. what i was after is a little more fine-grained. for example there are out there a few plugins which use wordpress roles to limit access to posts or even categories. can anyone suggest a way of using a buddypress group or a field from the extended profile to limit access to posts/pages (rather than activities like forum posts etc?

i understand that if one is not member of a private group they cannot see the group activities in the stream, but how to make certain pages only accessible based on buddypress group membership?

many thanks!

Thanks for helping, Roger,

What is the code for bp_custom.php file or function.php file that will works as WordPress title?

WordPress title for “Hello world!” is…

Hello world! | My blog

BuddyPress title for “Hello world!” is…

My blog | Home

How could anyone possible use BuddyPress plugin for WordPress without having a headline for title of each their own posts and pages? What is so wrong about this simple problem?

When I have installed WordPress 3.0.1 and I clicked the “Hello world!” post and the title tag is fine like…

Hello world! | My blog

When I have installed BuddyPress 1.2.5.2 and I clicked the “Hello world!” post and the title tag is WRONG like…

My blog | Home

Who is the responsible the core of BuddyPress title tag that has no headlines every posts and pages? Did Matt Mullenweg know that your BuddyPress altered the title tags of WordPress?

I may have found some clues here:
http://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks/hook/wp_get_nav_menus?version=3.0&file=wp-includes/nav-menu.php

And from here:
http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/3.0/wp-includes/nav-menu.php
… there are these nifty tidbits:

function wp_get_nav_menus( $args = array() ) {
$defaults = array( ‘hide_empty’ => false, ‘orderby’ => ‘none’ );
$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
return apply_filters( ‘wp_get_nav_menus’, get_terms( ‘nav_menu’, $args), $args );
}

function get_registered_nav_menus() {
global $_wp_registered_nav_menus;
if ( isset( $_wp_registered_nav_menus ) )
return $_wp_registered_nav_menus;
return array();
}

Looks like these functions should call whatever nav menus are set in the backend in 3.0 but, as I’m still VERY wet behind the ears when it comes to understanding what functions can actually do…

“I suggest you install the SEO buddypress plugin. It’s gives you control over the titles.”

I knew you would say that but I don’t want plugin SEO BuddyPress. It has to be in core BuddyPress or function. WordPress does fine with titles. I don’t want to bother the contributors to do SEO title.

How BuddyPress can miss the most important thing the title? Is there other solution?
