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.

About the problem with CBOX Theme, are you able to access your server’s PHP error log? If you are able to, can you post the entries related to CBOX…[Read more]

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,
Paul

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.

Have you by any chance updated BP to version 12.0+? You would have to have done…[Read more]

Thanks for finding this bug. I can confirm the problem.

I have created a new issue with a fix:

I just posted a guide here: https://commonsinabox.org/groups/openlab-help-support/forum/topic/what-is-the-correct-way-to-translate-all-cbox-openlab-texts#post-9090

Currently, it requires patching a core CBOX file due to a bug, but then you can use a plugin to easily update the various text strings used across your CBOX site.

So I thought I would take a closer look at the Loco Translate plugin.

Loco Translate works quite well, but there is currently a bug in CBOX that prevents Loco Translate from…[Read more]

You can also access the “Contact Us” page through the “Brand Settings” page as well: https://commonsinabox.org/copy

Let us know if that is what you mean.

So this cannot be modified unless you create a child theme to override the sidebar-help.php template.

Can you tell us what you are trying to modify?

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

Since CBOX OpenLab is a WordPress plugin, the backup process would be the same as backing up your WordPress installation.
