Hi Elizabeth,
Welcome to BuddyDev support forums.

Yes, it allows all users to post to one blog. I am not sure what do you mean by creation widgets? You can use any widgets that work with custom post type.

Here is the steps to use it:-

1. Please create a custom post type using any of the plugins(CPTUI or Pods or something similar) that allow creating custom post type(Or you can use the Posts post type if you want to).

2. Create a BuddyBlog Form and use this post type in the post type settings section. Configure this form for various publishing actions.

3. Please visit Dashboard->BuddyBlog->Settings and open the tab named after your post type. At the bottom of that settings page, Please scroll down to the bottom “Misc Settings” section.

You can turn off the posts showing on profile there by using the option “Make single post viewable on profile?”

That will make the posts visible on the normal site instead of the profile.

Hope that helps.

Hi Dale,
Thank you

I will be looking at your issue this week and testing with the specific theme .

As far as Transcoder is concerned, MediaPress simply invokes FFMPEG on your server with the uploaded media file and It is FFMPEG which is the real encoder/handling the transcoding. MediaPress simply manages invoking the transcoder, managing the queue(in database) and updating meta details on conversion.

All the FFMPEG jobs are run as background process and if you are on a Linux server, you can run ‘jobs’ from terminal to see any pending jobs. We only run a new FFMPEG process on video upload and we do not keep it running infinitely. It is one off process for each of the media. If it seems to be running continuously, Please approach the server support.

There are many reasons for a slow transcoder/high resource usage, I will leave the transcoder debugging aside as you are no longer using it.

Hi,
instead of current_user_can, Please use the user_can like the following

if( ! user_can($user_id, 'publish_products') ) {
	$is_enabled = false;
}

This will work for displayed user.

Hi Fabien,

1. I am sorry, you can not add links in the placeholder. If you did, It will simply be shown as text.
2. Please contact theme author. They can provide some js. This is very much specific to theme and how they manage/override compatibility with BuddyPress.

Generally, the second approach can be achieved via javascript easily.

Hi,
Thank you for the question.
yes, both of these are doable.

here is some sample code for that.

// disable testimonials component for some users.
add_filter( 'bp_testimonial_enabled_for_user', function( $is_enabled, $user_id ) {

	// process
	return $is_enabled;
}, 10, 2 );
/// limit show can write
add_filter( 'bp_testimonial_user_can_write', function($can) {

	if( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return $can;
	}
	// in case you want to find the user for whom testimonial is being written
	// it is displayed user.
	// $displayed_user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
	// check for current user
	if( current_user_can('read') ) {
	// update $can to true/false/
	}

	return $can;
});

Hope you can adapt it for your purpose. Please let me know if you want me to put an example with roles?
