The redirect snippet did the trick! Thank you both so much!

[Paul Schacht]

Thanks, Ray. I debugged as you suggested, and indeed the URL that’s outputted to the browser is the URL for the blog e.g.,

https://dh.sunygeneseoenglish.org

so BP Groupblog is behaving as it should.

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)_/¯

I’ve deactivated each plugin in turn (except CBOX), and none of the plugins appears to be the cause of the problem.

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/

I deactivated WordFence, but the behavior persists. I think the general behavior you were observing earlier — “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” — was caused by this line in wp-config.php:
<div>

define('NOBLOGREDIRECT', 'http://sunygeneseoenglish.org');

</div>
<div>I commented out that line in hopes that it would solve the problem with the blog links, but it didn’t. Commenting it out does, however, cause requests for non-existent pages to bring up the “nothing found” page.</div>

I’m running BP 11.4.0 and letting CBOX manage my plugins. I’ve sometimes managed them independently in order to stay abreast of updates, but I knew from some of your messages in the GitHub repo that 12 has significant differences, so I’ve held back.

[Paul Schacht]

Thanks for the reply, Boone! Redirect is set as it should be under GroupBlog Setup. I’m seeing this behavior on blogs associated with public groups that anyone can join. A logged in user who’s a member of the group gets directed to the Dashboard of the main site, English @ SUNY Geneseo. Ditto for a logged in user who isn’t a member of the group. A user who isn’t logged in gets redirected to the main site landing page, https://sunygeneseoenglish.org

Any other settings I should look at?

Thanks again,
Paul

Fixed it. In the settings for the new server, I had to set my multisite domain as the default.

Just want to hop onto this thread for a moment to say that I’ve been working with Ed and Amanda on this project and couldn’t be more excited about it. At SUNY Geneseo, Amanda and I have taken the lead on building a new Center for Digital Learning, and we see multiple ways for CBOX-OL to help us accomplish some of the center’s goals. I’m a longtime CBOX Classic user (and grateful beneficiary of its support forum!) and I was a tester for CBOX-OL when it was in development. I appreciate the opportunity to learn how campuses who’ve been using CBOX-OL for a while are dealing with the infrastructural questions Ed has raised.

Thanks, Ray! I updated a week or so ago and have had no issues so far.

[Paul Schacht]

Thanks, Ray!

[Paul Schacht]

That did it, Ray! Thanks!!

I’m not concerned about backfilling at this point – just wanted to figure out what was blocking the activity from appearing. I’d noticed that setting and should have thought to try changing it. I see that it also affects email notifications.

Anyway, thanks again!

[Paul Schacht]

Thanks, Ray!

[Paul Schacht]

I edited registration/activate.php and registration is now proceeding smoothly. Thanks again, Ray!

[Paul Schacht]

Thanks as always for the prompt reply, Ray! I will make this change and let you know how it goes!
