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

I’d like to add Keyring to this thread as a possible solution. It’s credited to Automattic (amongst others) so it should have decent support. To quote from the FAQ:

Keyring just provides a framework for handling connections to external services. You need to download another plugin which makes use of Keyring to do anything useful (e.g. an importer or content-syncing plugin).

You can find these additional plugins with a search of the WordPress Plugin Directory. They seem to cover all the major social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram etc. There is also a Developers Guide if you need to write one for a service that isn’t covered.

You could try integrating IndieWeb with CBOX. You would probably have to use a compatible theme, since IndeWeb has some fairly stringent requirements regarding microformats. Also, I don’t think there’s much in the way of BuddyPress integration yet, but that might not be too hard to achieve.

You’re welcome!

Hi Jonathan,

I’ve seen this problem on some web hosts when sending HTML emails is blocked or misconfigured. You could try adding the following to your child theme’s (it’s good to see you’re using a child theme!) functions.php file:

add_filter( 'bp_email_use_wp_mail', '__return_true' );

This will disable the HTML emails and revert back to the plaintext ones that WordPress sends out by default.

Cheers, Christian

created a folder for “Meeting Materials” and placed the document in that folder

It did just occur to me that perhaps your user created the folder as a “Personal” folder rather than one specifically for the group. There’s a dropdown that allows this to happen. If that happened, then the results would be something like what you’re reporting, except that I see the somewhat curious breadcrumb that says:

My Group’s Docs ▸ My Profile’s Docs ▸ Some Folder

“Some Folder” isn’t visible in the group’s Docs but is on my profile.

Could this have happened?

Cheers, Christian

Hi Joanna, I’ve tried to recreate the problem you’ve encountered but cannot. Is there anything special about your setup? Do you have any other plugins that might be interfering?

Regarding creating folders without creating a document, I pretty sure that’s possible at present. @cbox_admin may be able to give a definitive answer.

Cheers, Christian

Also worth looking at https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/ which will hold new signups for moderation.

BTW, there’s no reason not to add other useful plugins to a CBOX install – it’s just that we may not have tested them.

Hi Joanna, yes I mean the server error logs. If the error occurs again when you try and upload a file, you can refer to the error logs to see what error prevented it from happening. It’s this error report that will help us get to the bottom of your issue.

Thanks for reporting this Troy. I seems to be because AGP loads a more recent version of jQuery on all admin pages. Useful to know.

I added the following function to functions.php and start getting white screened with http 500 error.

If the code is exactly as you posted, then it looks like you have curly quotes rather than straight quotes. Your code works for me with straight quotes.

Hi Troy,

• #1 should be solved with the my_flex_slider_controls() function which allows control over all the front-end slider settings.
• #2 is usually solved by regenerating the CBOX JS, but if you say that it isn’t working then I’d agree that you probably have a plugin conflict.

Keep us informed of how you get on!

Cheers, Christian

Hi Troy, it looks to me like your CBOX CSS and JS files need rebuilding. Put the following in your wp-config.php file:

define( 'INFINITY_DEV_MODE', true );

Then reload a page (any page will do) and remove the code above. Then see if your CBOX Theme Options work as expected again.

If you want to force the controls to show, add the following to the function I posted above:

$args['controls'] = true;

Your controls should then show up regardless of whether the Theme Options page works correctly or not.

Cheers, Christian

Hi Troy, you can modify any of the setup arguments with a filter:

/**
 * Customise the CBOX Slider setup arguments.
 *
 * @param array $args Existing setup arguments.
 * @return array $args Modified setup arguments.
 */
function my_flex_slider_controls( $args ) {
	$args['speed'] = 1000;
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'cbox_flex_slider_controls', 'my_flex_slider_controls' );

The code shows you the full list of options that can be modified:

Hi Joanna, it’s not clear without seeing some error logs, but quite often this happens when your server is full – have you checked that you have enough space?

Cheers, Christian
