I noticed a strange thing in Mac Firefox/Chrome. When trying to create a new site, users are unable to select the privacy setting for the site they create. It seems this setting is redundant with the additional privacy settings below. How do I remove the first privacy setting (“I would like my site to appear in search engines… “) while leaving the additional settings intact?

I’m still trying to figure out the best way to adjust the privacy options when setting up a new blog. I’m using the “More Privacy Options” plugin, but it seems the options conflict (or at least are confusing) with the privacy options above them (see the attached screenshot). What is the best way to remove the first set of options so that only the options from “More Privacy Options” appear? I’m also including a screenshot of the relevant site settings. Please suggest how I should set this to allow the full range of accessibility options.

Hi Basem – Yes it does look like the “More Privacy Options” plugin repeats/rephrases rather than replaces some of these options.  What happens when you select the radio buttons at the very top about search engines? I’m not too knowledgeable about this – so am pinging @r-a-y and @haystack to see if they have suggestions.  Thanks.

Hi, sorry I camping for a few days. The strange thing is the top 2 radio buttons under ” I would like my site to appear in search engines, and in public listings around this network. ” My mouse turns into the pointer icon, which means the browser recognizes it as a clickable entity, but nothing actually works.

Basically, I’d love some way to either remove those top radio buttons, or add my own explanation text and/ or default options.

Looking at it again, it’s strange to me that the Privacy settings are split by the template selection appearing in between the Privacy settings radio buttons. Could this mean the “Blog Template” plugin might be interfering with the css for the privacy settings? I’ll disable blog templates and see how it affects the privacy settings.

Are other people using either “More Privacy Options” plugin along with the “NBlog Templates” plugin?

OK I disabled both “New Blog Templates” and reduced the “Additional Privacy Options” and I also disabled my cache plugin (WP Super Cache), and when the radio buttons worked; when I re-enabled the “New Blog Templates” plugin, the radio buttons still seem to be working. So this might be a cache issue, or something in “additional privacy options.” It still doesn’t explain why the privacy settings get split by the template selector. Is there a way for me to re-arrange that, or for me to add specific instruction text or otherwise consolidate the choices?

This is getting strange… I tried creating a site with some of the “Additional Privacy settings” and with “New Blog Templates” activated, and when I filled-in the site create form, It returned me to the same page without evidently doing anything. I tried it again with “New Blog Templates” disabled and got the same non-response, saying”There was a problem; please correct the form below and try again.”

Here’s yet another screenshot. It seems like site creation broke somehow. How can I troubleshoot this?

Hi Basem –

Sorry you are having all these issues.  I notice that the plugin author (David Sader) seems to be actively supporting the plugin at: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/more-privacy-options

You might want to shoot him a note over there to see if he has any suggestions.  It does seem like some compatibility issues may exist.

@baly IIRC, you’re not allowed anything but alphanumeric characters in the site slug. That would account for your failed site creation.

Oh cool. Thanks it worked when I removed the hyphen in the URL. It’s weird, however since if you use the ordinary group-creation menus and decide to add a blog to your group, then the blog takes your group name and replaces hyphens with spaces. How can you create a straight blog (without associated group) with hyphens in the URL?
