I find that the Restricted Site Access plugin works perfectly for private sites. If you want to style the default WordPress login screen, there is a guide on the WordPress codex.

Best wishes, Christian

The BuddyPress Docs plugin does not come with a bundled shortcode.

Outside of writing custom code, perhaps you can link to the documents directory page instead?

If you’re okay with that, you can find the document directory page at example.com/docs/ by default. For example: https://demo.commonsinabox.org/docs

Replace example.com with your site.…[Read more]

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your reply. The CBOX site was set up by an ancient hacker. His theory was that if he made things simple enough, other people would use it. He made a home-brew wiki that basically only he * I used….

I’m not familiar with php, or, Wordpress, or BuddyPress or any of the guts here. I do figure things out eventually. WP_DEBUG was…[Read more]

Hi Jan,

I’m guessing you had some custom work done to your site where a developer added the plugin to your site and added a custom list-bpdocs shortcode.

If you still want to keep the shortcod…[Read more]

Thanks, Ray! I updated a week or so ago and have had no issues so far.

Hi Mo,

There doesn’t appear to be a way to upload documents through BuddyPress Docs.

If the MS Word document is simple enough, maybe copy the contents of the Word doc into the editor? Or use another plugin that has a group files feature.

The MLAA has a fork of an older plugin, BuddyPress Group Documents, that you could…[Read more]

Hi Paul,

We’re doing some internal compatibility testing with bbPress since that’s a major upgrade. You should be okay to update to BuddyPress 5.1.2 though since the changes in BP shouldn’t be that disruptive.

We don’t have a set date for a release yet, but I’ll update this thread when we’re about to go through that process.

Hi Daniel,

Are you trying to output your custom fields in a template somewhere?

If so, you should be able to use the BuddyPress Profile Fields API functions to output the specific data.

For example, xprofile_get_field_data() might be the function that you are looking for. Let’s say I created a profile field called “Website” and I want to…[Read more]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the report.

Can you tell me what version of CBOX Theme you are using? You can find the version by navigating to the WP admin dashboard and clicking on the “Appearance > Themes” page, followed by “Commons In A Box”.

The current version should be 1.1.2. If you are not running that version, please update CBOX whenever you…[Read more]
