to my understanding, is built around one central blog with categories.
I am experimenting with the plugin. I really like the idea of having a
p2 blog feed for folks. But this is not looking like it fits the bill.
The p2 group blog has all sorts of formatting issues and…[Read more]

I network installed them and it seems to have fixed the blog link navigating away from the groups. Will keep exploring.

Thanks
So how do I take the bundled themes from the “themes” folder and use
them? I am guessing I can use my web hosting site’s file manager and
transfer them to the right directory? Or do I need to download them and
then upload them. In order to do that I need to know what I am
downloading.

With regards to the groups… when I…[Read more]

I will keep you apprised. It seems as though someone out there must have
been interested in using groups in this manner. It seems like having
tools to coordinate a “team” makes sense.
Hope someone has some experience. I will look for a buddy press project
managment plugin to start with. You are right that compatibility is
important.

This happens when I try to reply to the forum here. I have not tried it
on my install yet, as I am mostly exploring with a local installation
and it does not seem like it would work.

I do not have access to the RBE here. Are others able to reply by email?

Also I ahve seen people using backup buddy and duplicator plugins to upload sites to server.   To people have experience with that?
