Thanks again. I installed the dev version and still had the issue with IE7 (didn’t test 8 or 9), understood it’s still in development but fyi. Also, I had a text area in place that the dev plugin replaced with placeholder text “Nothing Much”. Although the original text was still in the db if I pasted the original text back in and saved the original text disappeared from the db.

So I found a different plugin to just handle the custom fields, and it crossed over great from your plugin, new fields populated with the original ones I created with CCTM. But I’m not sure how to pull the plugin out leaving the dashboard and display options intact. I understand if you don’t want to spend time answering, but if you would be kind enuf to tell me how to replace the plugin with functions or whatever I’d appreciate it. There’s custom posts in the db I’d like to retain.

Thanks very much!

Thanks much ccottet. Glad to hear I’m not the only one! What it boiled down to for me is if a user had any role on the main site they would not be added to group blogs when joining a group. Noticed in testing if a user was “Wiki Editor” role in the main site everything worked. So figuring it was just the native roles in wp that groupblog didn’t play well with I installed User Role Editor and created new roles with same capabilities as existing wp roles and that took care of it. Only activated those roles on main site, works for us since we’re not using the main blog like the sub blogs. I did try removing that line you mention but it didn’t work for me. I think that function probably needs to be reworked completely. But in the meantime happy happy. Thank you so much for your response, hopefully all of this helps someone else avoid lots of time-consuming troubleshooting.

Update, still beating my head against the wall on this. If there was a decent way to rebuild it on top of the new install I would, but there’s 200 members in there using the wire pretty heavily and I don’t know of a good way to migrate that stuff to a fresh install. There must be someone out there who’s having the same problem? Or someone who has any upgrade process advice that may help?

Not sure if anyone is reading this, have posted in many places but no replies. In troubleshooting I installed a fresh out of the box wp3.0.1, bp 1.2.5.2 and gb1.4.9 and it works as it’s supposed to, users are added to groupblog. I put my theme in there and it still works as it should. Somewhere in the upgrade process is a hitch. I’m not a php guru so not sure what to try other than all variations of upgrades possible from where I started, have seen some info about xml-rpc problems, have also heard of some problems going straight from wpmu to wp3.0.1, anyone have any input or suggestions?

Oh and I should add I am using subfolders for sites, not subdomains.
