I really need an answer to this. Thanks!
Could someone answer this one for me?
Have you read Mu documents? Mu allows two registration options:
1. create blog and username
2. create username only
If I understand correctly, Jedbarish is asking if he starts his site off with User blogs turned off, and 50 people register, and he wants to turn blogs on, can he go back and retroactively give those users blogs.
@Jedbarish, if my assumption is correct, then the flat answer is “no, WPMU/BuddyPress can’t do this for you.” However, a WPMU plugin could be made to do this (most likely by counting the number of blogs a user already belongs to,) but the problem is that you won’t know what they would want the name of their blogs to be so you can’t create it accurately. You could guess at their username.domain.com, but it means more manual labor to change it if they don’t like it.
@John – I had a similar question, so I might as well attach it to this post.
I have my wpmu setup and running. I have already registered a number of users and accounts. I did create a ‘placeholder’ subdomain blog for my future buddypress install. I also set the wpmu admin to automatically add all new users to that blog.
So the question is simple:
When I add buddypress to the subdomain, will buddypress automatically recognize all the members of that subdomain blog?
I was told in another post awhile back that buddypress actually does not have it’s own registration system but uses wpmu. So by that theory I would expect buddypress to recognize everyone once it’s turned on….
