In reply to: Managing user permissions and creating groupsIn addition to the capability you’re describing, we also need the ability to create groups of users so that certain groups of people can edit content created by anyone in the group. For example, users A, B, and C would need to be part of a group so that they can create content that only they could work on, and those not in the group wouldn’t be able to edit it. They’d still need the ability to have their own, individual content as well. So User A could have her own pages that no one else could touch, but at the same time she needs to be able to create content as a part of a group that User B and C could also work on. It seems like the most popular plugin I’ve found so far is https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/. Hope that clears it up, thanks.

In reply to: Managing user permissions and creating groupsThanks Bill. Yes, I’ve seen the plugins, but I wasn’t sure if this was the best/recommended route to go or if I was missing something. From what I’ve seen, WP’s built-in roles aren’t enough for what we need, so it appears as if we’ll have to go the plugin route. Maybe if not being able to edit other author’s posts was all I needed then the built-in roles might work, but I don’t see anything that gives us the option of creating a group of users that allows them to create content while preventing other from accessing it. Or am I missing something there?

In reply to: User Groups in WordPress?Hey booleanbiker, yeah actually in my searching I did come across that plugin, but I wasn’t sure if a) I needed a plugin in case WP had some sort of group management built-in and b) if that plugin was the most used group management plugin in use today.
I’m actually a little shocked that WP doesn’t appear to have that kind of user control built-in. Am I right that without adding a plugin, users would need a role of something like Author or higher in order to edit someone else’s posts?

In reply to: Thousands of Spam Comments every week – how can I stop this?Just in the past two days I’ve noticed a significant increase in the spam to just one of my blogs. Akismet is running and catching some of it, but a lot seems to be passing right through.

In reply to: Email me on new comment, except when I'm the commenter@t-p – How does this do what I need? I already have the option checked to have an email sent whenever anyone posts a comment, but I’m getting emails for when I post a comment. Is there a way to have it not send emails when I comment?
Ditto. Worked before the latest update. Now, nothing.

In reply to: Tutorial for writing a widget for multisiteNot a stupid question. Yes and no actually. A few of the tuts I had found neglected to create the proper header which prevented it from showing up anywhere. Once I had a good header in there it showed up under plugins so then I could activate it and head over to the widgets list where it showed up. Thanks!

In reply to: Tutorial for writing a widget for multisiteHmmm, I wonder why I can’t get any examples to show up in my available widgets list. One tutorial said to use:
class My_Widget extends WP_Widget { function My_Widget() { // widget actual processes } function form($instance) { // outputs the options form on admin } function update($new_instance, $old_instance) { // processes widget options to be saved } function widget($args, $instance) { // outputs the content of the widget } } register_widget('My_Widget');and save the php file in my wp-content/plugins folder which I did but it doesn’t show up anywhere (yes I know the plugin doesn’t do anything but I’m setting my sights low and trying to just get it to show up first).

In reply to: Does the JetPack Plugin Work with Multisite?Yeah I know, but I’m going to continue working with WP support first before doing that. Last resort in my opinion. After making a full backup of course.

In reply to: Does the JetPack Plugin Work with Multisite?Just to keep this thread updated, so far WP support hasn’t been able to nail down the issue yet. Ever since installing jetpack, not only has jetpack not functioned properly (specifically the stats) but I’ve noticed other quirks in my blogs as well. For example if I try to deactivate jetpack on a blog that it was activated on, I get a browser popup asking me to download plugins.php instead of plugins.php being executed. The other weird thing is that if I try and add a new post on a blog that has jetpack activated, the TinyMCE toolbar vanishes. I can edit an existing post and it comes back, but for new posts it vanishes. On the blogs that don’t have jetpack activated, everything works normally. I fear the ultimate solution here may be to rip out jetpack, but I’m not going to attempt that without help from support for fear that jetpack may have its claws in places that I may miss if I removed it myself.

In reply to: Does the JetPack Plugin Work with Multisite?Anyone know how long it usually takes to get a response from WordPress support? Been two days with nada.

In reply to: Does the JetPack Plugin Work with Multisite?After my last post that’s just what I did.

In reply to: Does the JetPack Plugin Work with Multisite?To add another issue with the JetPack status plugin, I noticed that when Ii try to change who has access to view the stats and hit the save button I get a popup windows asking me to download admin.php. Obviously this shouldn’t be happening so I hit cancel, however the changes are actually being saved. This happens in Firefox and IE.
