I’m now attaching the current versions on my multisite installation, which might provide more context!

thanks!

I also haven’t upgraded WordPress, BuddyPress, or CBOX since I created my multisite Commons site a year ago….and I need to get things upgraded so that third-party plugins will work properly. I’m nervous about upgrading because I am the only one dealing with my site, and I…[Read more]

I don’t know if the feed gets refreshed—I don’t think it does. I don’t know how to edit it, but perhaps someone with knowledge of that might weigh in, that would be really helpful!

I will definitely remove that formatting, in the meantime, thanks!!

I should say that the gobbledy-gook is not in the blog post itself (that looks fine) but in the widget area for network-wide blog posts. That’s where I’d like to either delete the post or edit. I changed it to just display the most recent blog post in the meantime so did get the weird code off…[Read more]

I don’t know of any way to edit or delete the posts that show up in this widget. Is that possible, and if so, how? this looks pretty terrible.

That premium plugin looks good plus I’ll search around for some others as well. And I’ll check on the settings you mentioned in BuddyPress.

Hi, @georges, thanks for the recommendation. If you end up using AG Custom Admin with CBOX, please let me know how that works for you.
