Ok so I started from scratch with WPMU this time …
But it seems like overkill for what I need, I prefer to have my users just post on the main blog. Is there a way to get the admin bar links to work like the do in MU (minus the Create a Blog link) so that users can go straight to the admin panel and post?
If a “Member” types wp-admin into the browser bar they can access the panel and post, I just need to know if theres a way to add that functionality to the admin bar? Or maybe is there a plugin that does this?
Thanks

This will help you add dashboard link to your bp admin bar
Modifying the BuddyPress AdminBar
I was able to use the article above and the Capability Manger plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/capsman/ to create a very nice to accomplish exactly what I wanted.
Using the WP install as opposed to MU I now have a Blog menu that allows Members (now with the role of Authors) to add, edit, and manage comments on the main blog.
Very nice, works exactly as I wanted.
1. Create bp-custom.php and place it in wp-content/plugins/
2. Add the code below and save.
(ok well sorry … tried adding the code but it gets all mangled.)
If you want it I guess send me a message or something
