Is it possible to get an external news feed to appear in the sitewide activity page?
sam brown started the topic Sub-site keep getting marked as spam in the forum Help & Support 10 years, 2 months ago

I am trying out a new subsite (not officially joined up to my main cbox site but that is the intention). however every time I mark a user as a spammer/splogger on my cbox, or even if they only get as far as unconfirmed, my new subsite gets automatically marked as spam (under network admin > sites) and on the front end displays a message that the…[Read more]

Thanks for the help and links. I’m now sorted.
sam brown replied to the topic Keep members signed in on subdomain in the forum Help & Support 10 years, 2 months ago

Hi Christian, thanks for the reply. I have tried version one of your suggestions. The multisite set up seems to be working but when a member of the main site transfers to the new sub-site they are required to login in again. The site does accept the registered username and password but because of my log in set up they are then redirected back to…[Read more]
sam brown started the topic Keep members signed in on subdomain in the forum Help & Support 10 years, 2 months ago

I am not running a multisite but I would like to set up a connected subdomain. Is there a way that I could keep members signed in when they click through from mydomain.com to site2.mydomain.com; site3.mydomain.com etc?

If not, would members stay signed in if I had a multisite and if so is it feasible to retrospectively convert an established…[Read more]

Must stop cutting and pasting!! Hopefully you can still read by eliminating text between < and >

Not sure if this is what you mean but we use Social Login to sign in with no problems and BuddyPress Twitter to put a follow me (Twitter) button on the profile. There is a facebook one as well but we found this keep crashing our site.
sam brown replied to the topic WordPress 4 in the forum Help & Support 10 years, 3 months ago

I’d also like to know if anyone has tried the new wordpress out yet and whether a new cbox is coming out soon. Any pointers would be great. I am restraining pushing update on the pile of plugins flashing at me as I guess they are all wordpress 4 related updates and I don’t want to throw my cbox out of sync. However, there may of course be no nee…[Read more]

I started with BuddyPress Courseware but just couldn’t get it to work. It also hasn’t been updated for a couple of years but it looks like some one may take the project over. I am looking for space for students to recording <span style=”color: #5454…[Read more]

I know this has been discussed before but I still can’t work out how to extend my home page slider to cover the full width of the site. Does any one have some easy tips?

Thanks for this, I’ve added wordfence. What is Ray’s plugin called if I just allow university emails?
sam brown replied to the topic Homepage Background Colour in the forum Help & Support 10 years, 4 months ago

Don’t know how I missed it. Very obvious! Content Options > Background colour. For some reason my settings seem to have reset themselves (maybe a plugin update???) but fixed now. Thanks

In the last few days I have been getting about 10 spam members a day (having not had any problem previously). I am using wanguard but does any one have an addition plugins that are fending off unwanted registrations? Cheers

My homepage background colour has suddenly changed from white to dark grey from the slider down. I can’t work out what to change on the cbox dashboard. Any advice please?

It was a plugin conflict, just need to work out which one now.
sam brown started the topic Activate code not working in the forum Help & Support 10 years, 5 months ago

Hi, My activation codes for new members are diverting to my home page and not allowing access. Does anyone have any ideas what’s going on or how I can resolve it?

sam brown replied to the topic New CBOX, all sorts of problems in the forum Help & Support 10 years, 8 months ago

Hi, I have the pages but I’ve just notice my working site has and [bbp-activate] in those pages. i have added that but still no joy. This non-working site is also a multi-site so I think that must be where I am going wrong. Buddypress only appears under network admin but pages only under my main site dashboard. Is that correct?
