user blogs – create new page or post missing from dashboard
-
Hope I’ve missed something obvious but on user blogs I have no ability to create pages only edit existing default . Have trawled backwards and forwards through main admin settings looking for some setting I’ve overlooked but can’t see anything. BP gives link on ‘My Blog’ to create new post but not in blog dashboard. page creation exists not at all.
Can someone tell me I’m being daft
N.B. of course might not be BP issue, if it is indeed an issue at all , but a plan vanilla WPMU install allows user blogs to create both posts and pages from user dashboard.

Oh dear not the response I was hoping for
So it is an issue and frankly a horrendous one, blogs are offered to users as fully functioning ones.
Sadly it’s not necessarily a straightforward matter to upgrade, at the moment I would have to run the backwards-compatibility plugin as I have got the community up and running based on a child theme overriding bp-sn file where necessary, in tests on local dev install upgrade to 1.2 I had to do a fair bit of work to get the existing theme running again and to rework styles to accommodate the new activity stream layout.
Thanks for the quick response though DJPaul I have to now figure how we proceed as too many aspects of the 1.x are demonstrating problems and I’m beginning to wish we had been able to wait for 1.2 to be released.
One point of interest though on another of the many test installs I keep running and one that I have kept pretty close to the production site in plugins and customizations this issue doesn’t arise and I can create pages quite happily so this can’t simply be a inherent BP issue but triggered by some action or plugin but don’t see what at this stage.
Coming back to this and wryly noting the lack of response to the further question I posed
The issue in my case was the damned wpmu devpro supporter plugin that included amongst it’s poorly documented files one called supporter-write.php this effectively removes the ability to make a new post and/or page by removing those links in the users blog sidebar menu – disable that file and I once more had ability to create new Posts and Pages. Of course taking out a subscription automatically gives back access but nowhere does the supporter plugin explain this to the user that they can’t create posts or pages until paying a subscription and what is further damming is that this file does not actually do what it’s meant to as it appears to have overlooked the fact that you can still post by accessing the link in the admin bar dropdown! This smacks to me of very sloppy testing on the part of the supporter plugin and frankly wants to make me cry !
Sorry isos doubt this helps your predicament – unless you are using the supporter plugin? If this an issue apart I thought that Paul said this was fixed in 1.2.1
