I thought that things like "Toggle Menus" worked across the board--but this just hid the options from non-admin users. </p> <p>Once I activated The Menus in Plugin Commander, it hid the menus from the users correctly. And the user gets to stay as an administrator of his or her own blog.</p> <p>The code, by the way, didn't work. Even when I made it into a real piece of php, it still caused the site to load as a blank page. Maybe it's conflicting? I do also use the snippet to automatically subscribe new users to the main blog. But that's ok, I don't need it.</p> <p>Should I activate all plugins for all users? The wordpress menu says that activating all plugins for all users is a bad idea.... but maybe it isn't?

Drop the code into mu-plugins and then create a new user with a new blog.</p> <p>In the meantime, log in as SIteAdmin, go to Seven blog, then edit Seven user under Users-&gt;Authors and Users and change role to Author.

Perhaps I have the code in the wrong place? Role Manager caused something to crash.. i don't remember what, but I would prefer to avoid the plugin if I can. (Although I am willing to suck it up and deal if I have to).<br /> If I use that little piece of code, put it in mu-plugins, right? I am extremely confused about the difference between plugins and mu-plugins, but that is for another day.</p> <p>Ozh and The Menus:<br /> <a href="http://tinypic.com/r/292pwrr/3">Screenshot</a><br /> If you look at the shot, the top admin bar is gone (like it should be), but the other menus (the dashboard for this example blog) remain. I want to get rid of the crap on the left side. I like my students, but I do not trust them to do things like make pages and whatnot.... it'll just end in tears.</p> <p>So it's not an error with the Menus, it's actually the default behavior--and I think you hit the nail on the head, Dsader, these must be <em>buddypress</em> menus--I assumed they were wordpress generated. </p> <p>If that's true, then is there any way I can rewrite buddypress to get rid of these for a certain role (i.e., Authors)?</p> <p>Thanks a million! </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14310#post-82826 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 23:11:46 +0000 dsader 82826@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>Yeah, like Andrea_r says:</p> <p>Make each use Author of their blog first. See what menus remain. You can use a mu-plugin to set new users to author instead of admin:</p> <pre><code>function ds_new_user_meta($blog_id, $user_id) { add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $user_id, &#39;author&#39; ); } add_action( &#39;wpmu_new_blog&#39;, &#39;ds_new_user_meta&#39;, 10, 2 );</code></pre> <p>If it is a small class, you can log in as SiteAdmin and switch their role under User menu one by one, too.</p> <p>I just installed BuddyPress and The Menus plugin together. All seemed well - the Menu plugin doesn't hide the BuddyPress menu, but that's to be expected. I tried leaving only Post menus active and it worked for me. The plugins may be colliding under certain conditions, can you reproduce the error and any steps I could follow to do the same?</p> <p>I installed "Ozh's Drop Down Menus" and the left menu sidebar vanished, and the drop down menus behaved as expected. I can't reproduce your error. So . . . maybe it's something else.</p> <p>When I installed Ozh's plugin initially, the file permissions needed to be set to 755 or the css magic wouldn't work. Perhaps it's a file permissions thang. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14310#post-82821 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 22:32:43 +0000 andrea_r 82821@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>Steve shouldn't be able to get to the dashboard on any other blog other than his own and the main blog.

I am using the newest WPMU, with Buddypress (and a bbpress thrown in for good measure). You can see it here: www[dot]osculum-inimici[dot]com.</p> <p>The ONLY thing I want students to be able to do is write in their OWN blog. That's it. No appearance changing, no reading other people's, no other menus at ALL. I have tried all of the plugins available, but everything allows the dashboard menus (left side) to slip through because the user is the "administrator" of his/her own blog. I want them to be able to write only, without any sort of control over the interface, appearance, etc. Should this be hardcoded into the installation? Or is this something I can do with a plugin...?</p> <p>In other words:</p> <p>I make a new user named Steve. I want Steve to be able to write in his own blog (Steveblog), but do nothing else. I want Steve to be a subscriber to the main blog, and NOTHING to any of the other blogs by default--no left side menus for Steve. How do I do this, and still make Steve a writer in his own blog, Steveblog?</p> <p>By the way, I am going live with this in two days, so help soon would be ideal... I suppose I should have started earlier... but oh well. :) </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14248#post-82569 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 20:55:17 +0000 ozion787 82569@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks DeannaS it worked like a charm I appreciate the help </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14248#post-82543 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:59:18 +0000 DeannaS 82543@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>This is by design.
