Hey Brajesh Singh,
First off, amazing plugin! I have tried many plugins for my BuddyPress website, and this is by far the most useful for what I’m trying to achieve. I appreciate the hard work and decided to buy a premium support membership to show it. It seems the premium support is down at the moment though, but hopefully this place will work just as well.
My install is such:
– No multi-site
– Using BuddyPress 2.3.2.1
– Not sure how specific this installation would be considered, but it’s not multi-network or multi-blog to my knowledge. Though I’m not an expert. I do have a few custom modifications however.
– WordPress 4.2.4
– Sweetdate child theme (http://themeforest.net/item/sweet-date-more-than-a-wordpress-dating-theme/4994573)
– Fresh install (running on a local DesktopServer environment currently)
– I’m currently running my website draft offline via DesktopServer
– I’ve posted Sysinfo at the bottom of this post to keep it cleaner.
My setup:
I am running a social network through BuddyPress. I have two blog pages in the main navigation menu, “Official Blog” and “User Blogs”. The Official Blog contains all post categories minus Uncategorized and the User Blogs category/sub-categories. The User Blog page contains all the User Blog category/sub-categories minus Uncategorized and the Official Blog categories/sub-categories. The user’s individual blogs are also viewable from the user’s BuddyPress profile. Users can only post through their BuddyPress profile page.
My current Categories look like this:
– Guest Writers
– Pick Up
– Dating & Relationships
– Fashion & Style
– Online Game
– Phone & Text Game
– Sex
– Self-Improvement
– Health
– Money
– Spirituality
– Uncategorized
– User Blogs
– Pick-Up
– Dating & Relationships
– Fashion & Style
– Field Reports
– Online Game
– Phone & Text Game
– Sex
– Self-Improvement
– Health
– Money
– Spirituality
– Wingman Locator™ News
What I Need:
I need for all User blog posts to be automatically assigned to the parent category User Blogs, and not have it appear as an option on the blog post screen. I then want them to be able to select ONE category from sub-categories:
– Pick-Up
– Dating & Relationships
– Fashion & Style
– Field Reports
– Online Game
– Phone & Text Game
– Sex
– Self-Improvement
– Health
– Money
– Spirituality
So the blog post category would end up looking like “User Blogs, X” on the post page. I also need to restrict their access to posting to the Uncategorized and Official Blog categories (and their sub-categories), and don’t want them to even appear on the category list as options when creating a post.
I viewed your response to Sam here (https://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddyblog-update-and-bug-fixes/). It got me started with just the automatic posting to the User Blog category, but as you can see I need a little bit more. I have since removed the code provided and am back to the default settings.
I also love the drop down list format you gave to Rafael here (https://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddyblog-allow-users-to-blog-from-their-buddypress-profile/). The code overwrote the settings to Sam’s code, and I need to do a bit of CSS work to make it perfect, but ideally I’d like to see my above situation solved in the form of a drop down box.
Thank you very much for your help! A+ plugin!
