Brajesh Singh — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 18:08:38 +0000

Well, I just updated my old plugin Limit Blogs per user and fixed some of the glitches. Yes, Now it is updated for BuddyPress 1.2.3.

Update[2nd August 2010]: Updated to make it work with WordPress 3.0 MultiSite and BuddyPress 1.2.5.2

Here goes the post about this. If you are wondering about this plugin, you may like to check it on my other blog here

What It does

This is a wpmu plugin which allows site administrator to restrict the number of blogs created per user. So, A site Admin can limit the number to 2, and Then the maximum number of blog, a user can create will be 2. The best case use that I have seen is using this plugin to restrict the number of blogs per user to 1.

Where to Download

WordPress.org repository here : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/limit-blogs-per-user/
Direct Link:http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/limit-blogs-per-user.1.3.1.zip

How to Install

Download the plugin
Unzip it
Upload limit-blogs-per-user folder to wp-content
Login to wordpress Mu backend as Site administrator
Go to Plugins->Installed and activate “Limit Blogs per User”
That’s it
Alternatively, use the Plugins->Add new and either upload/search and install.

How to Use

Go to SiteAdmin->Options, scroll to the bottom, as shown below
You will see something like this

Enter the Number you want to restrict, If you leave it empty or put zero, no restrictions are applied.

What changed in v 1.3.1

Updated to make it work with wp 3.0 MultiSite by hooking on registration option.

What changed in v 1.3

Fixed a bug with buddypress 1.2.3 compatibility causing no limitation.

What changed in v 1.2

No restrictions on Site Admins: It was the most demanded feature(Suggested by: dgodfather, Ray, mercime)
Only the blogs of which a user is admin, is counted as User blogs( suggestions by :madLyfe, Steph ).

* Please note, with version 1.2+ if you want to limit 1 blog per user, set the number to 1(In previous version setting it 2 was required )
Looking forward to hear your experience/suggestions about the further improvement.

Remove /blog slug from the default blog of wpmu subdirectory installation

Remove /blog slug plugin for wpmu allows you to remove /blog slug from the sub directory install of your wordpress mu or wordpress 3.0 multisite.

In the sub directory style install of wpmu, ‘/blog’ is added to the permalink structure, category base and tag base for default blog(or main blog).

Removing it is quiet easy. If you don’t wish your posts to have url like http://yoursite.com/blog/somepost-goes-here and want it to look like say http://yoursite.com/somepost-goes-here, I have an easy solution for you.
here is my plugin Remove /blog Slug which I actually released on my other blog ThinkingInWordpress.com a few months ago.

Now this will be the official home for this plugin and I will be providing updates and support via this post/buddydev forum only.

Download

Click here to download Remove ‘/blog’ slug plugin for wordpress Mu v1.1

Version 1.1 is tested with wp3.0 multisite.

Installation

1. Download the plugin Remove ‘/blog’ slug plugin for wordpress Mu if you have yet not downloaded it.
2. Install it as any other plugin. You may upload to wp-content/plugins or just use plugin installer to upload and install it.
3.Go to Dashboard->Plugins(Installed plugins)
4. Activate “Remove /blog slug plugin for wpmu”

5. Go to Settings->Permalink
6. Copy your current permalink and then change something in permalink, save it. Now put your old permalink and save again.(See, you have to save it twice, we are just forcing wordpress to update the permalink structure by changing it, if you don’t change, the permalink is not saved, so It will not work. To get over it, we change it to something else, then save and then revert back to the original structure)

7. Go and check your posts now,they will have no “/blog/” slug anymore.
I have tested it with wordpress Mu 2.8.6, but I hope it should work fine with other versions too. I even tested it on a buddypress+wpmu installation and it just works fine.

Let me know how it went with you. Any suggestions/improvements ?
Thanks
