Glad that worked! I also noticed some styling inconsistencies on the Send Invites pages. I’ve added a fix here: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cbox-theme/commit/d099118ed8912b78f9d42dafe6a6b7a2322abfa6.

Thanks for the report. I was able to duplicate the issue with the group “Send Invites” tab.

The problem is due to an issue with the Invite Anyone plugin. I have updated CBOX Classic to use the latest version of Invite Anyone in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/commons-in-a-box/commit/3da2bd9818368ac6423ff1151b64ab3325eb5e29.

Regarding:

However, there is no way to do this through the Dashboard and when I try to update via CPANEL it knocks out my site. Most of the errors seem to be with the CBOX theme.

BuddyPress 12.0 is a major release that has breaking changes for older BuddyPress plugins such as bbPress.

BP Classic is required so BuddyPress backward compatibility is maintained. Hence CBOX requires BP Classic until all our recommended BuddyPress plugins have updated their codebases to support BuddyPress 12. You can keep track of…[Read more]

Can you try the following code snippet? https://gist.github.com/r-a-y/bc390ceb5d1872044e05b3aed35431c1

Save to /wp-content/mu-plugins/wpmu-subdomain-redirects.php. WordPress, by default, has strict redirect rules and for some reason, does not allow subdomain redirects even on the same domain. The code snippet should bypass this…[Read more]

I’m not running any must-use plugins and don’t have a bp-custom.php file. I’m using a child theme but haven’t made any recent changes to it.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Like the NOBLOGREDIRECT line, do you have any other code snippets in wp-config.php, wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, wp-content/themes/cbox-child, or in wp-content/mu-plugins?

If not and you feel adventurous, you can try some…[Read more]

The problem happens with all groups, whether public or private. The “Blog” link in the left navigation for the group redirects to https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/wp-admin/

Some other potential things to check: Do you have any 3rd-party plugins running on the groupblog that might be causing the redirect? What is the privacy option set to for the groupblog in question?

WordFence could be the culprit. Can you try temporarily disabling WordFence and then trying to check the groupblog link?

Plugins, in addition to CBOX and its bundled plugins, are

• Akismet
• BP Classic
• Classic Editor
• Collapse-o-Matic
• CommentPress Core
• Markup Markdown
• PDF Embedder
• Post Type Switcher
• WordFence

Thanks,

I notice that if I attempt to visit a page that doesn’t exist on your site (https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/WHATEVER), the URL will redirect back to the homepage instead of landing on the 404 page. I’m guessing a plugin is causing this behavior, which in turn is affecting the groupblog redirect.

It’s possible that a plugin is responsible…[Read more]

I suspect that $blog_id is incorrectly returning 1, and/or get_home_url() is doing something strange.

Glad you were able to switch to a subdirectory set up for your multisite configuration.

Even though my wildcard subdomain *, was set up correctly in my Bluehost cPanel dashboard, the root cause of my subsites’ creation problem was my SSL Certificate not being the right type of certificate for my wildcard subdomain.

It sounds like you might need to reconfigure wildcard subdomains on Bluehost. Check out the “Setting up Wildcard Subdomains” section of this article: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-and-setup-wordpress-multisite-network/#wildcard

In Customize, the last option is “Custom CSS.” Here you can override the CSS settings on your site.

Try adding either of the snippets that I provided above.

top: 15px;
width: 512px;
height: 92px;

We do not provide these types of policies with CBOX because the types of sites using CBOX can vary, but it’s a good question to ask.

WordPress ships with a default privacy policy template. You could probably start with that: https://wordpress.org/support/article/settings-privacy-screen/#using-privacy-settings-tool

I am wondering if there are any open source, free licensed starting points for creating Terms of Service, Content Policy (Guidelines for Participation) and Privacy Policies that are relevant to the sorts of services and community engagements that a CBOX website provides?

Thank you so much!

Sorry that we missed this report. Another user reported the same bug just now and we’ve added a fix:

Are you sure the MLA requires such an older version of BuddyPress? BP 4.2 was released in December 2018.

If that is the case, CBOX 1.1.1 is the release where we bumped compatibility to BuddyPress 4.2. The plugin versions for CBOX 1.1.1 can be found in the plugin manifest…[Read more]
