If the servers can handle it depends on the setup (take a look a the multi-db plugin here, btw). If you need BuddyPress depends totally on your what you want. I haven't worked with it myself, yet, but from what I understand BuddyPress 'takes over' your WPMU install (I guess that would also depend on what plugins of BP you decide to install). There are a few plugins released here (friends, communities and messaging, I believe they're called) that can help you with some parts of the interactivity without installing BuddyPress. indianbill007 on "Can WP MU handle 50000+ users at one go?" http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/can-wp-mu-handle-50000-users-at-one-go#post-11374 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:36:22 +0000 indianbill007 11374@http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/ Hello all, I have just started learning WP MU. I think its wonderful. I have worked with WP before and I loved it. I hope WP MU provides a great working experience too. I am developing a site using WP MU. I wanted to know if WP MU can handle loads of up to 50000+ users. We also plan on using plugins extensively. Would that affect the site's performance in any way? Also needed to know, whether Buddypress is an extension of WP MU or its just something that is completely different? Since I am developing an interactive site, would I need this API as well? Does it integrate easily with WP MU? Lots of questions there, but I have been reading the forums, people seem really helpful !!

That's built-in WPMU stuff :) Just take a look at the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions">WPMU Functions</a> in the WP Codex (don't overlook the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions/get_sitestats">get_sitestats</a> function).

My suggestion is a plugin that generates sitewide blog stats (not as in FireStats) that will be viewable on the site itself. In particular I want to display the total number of blogs, but you might also include total number users. optawise on "Batch create" http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/batch-create#post-11371 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:47:09 +0000 optawise 11371@http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/ i did it...hooray! drmike on "Simple Sitemaps Plugin" http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/simple-sitemaps-plugin#post-11370 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:18:08 +0000 drmike 11370@http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/ We use Arne's sitemap plugin on our installs but removed all of the options and hardcoded them into the code.

I'd realy hate to have to manually edit all users and give them memebr privileges. I googled around and all I found was this advice to isnert these lines: <blockquote>$bb->custom_user_table = 'wp_users'; $bb->custom_user_meta_table = 'wp_usermeta'; </blockquote> into bb-config.php - can anyone confirm? has anyone got an idea what could have gone wrong? - what plugins are you guys using with your bbpress isntallations? I wouldn't want to go through all of them and test which ones are working, so just share which ones work for you - what are you using for spam protection? or is it enough to only allow loggd in users to post?

Anyone able and up to fixing that plugin? Sounds like a brilliant plugin to me. I'd even donate a small amount, maybe we can make this a communual effort? Anyone else interested?

That Validome.org check shows it as valid, however when I submit it to my Google Webmaster account, it isn't showing up, with them saying it generated a 404. When I look at the sitemap in IE 6 (gak!) I get the following at the very bottom of the sitemap.xml page: <pre><code> - </code></pre> Safe to assume that this is not the theme, but the sitemap plugin that generates this coded page? Update: Guess it was just a Google being slow thing. Just refreshed that page on my webmaster account and all seems well in that world. Thanks again! James.

I realize you folks are busy, and the last thing I would want to do as a paying customer is add to that burden. What I would try to do is help guide myself and others that might be having challenges with any of the Premium WordPress Dev plugins that connect to PayPal and are no longer functioning properly. Many folks, myself included will do searches on the forums database starting narrow and expanding out from there. From that research I came across this particular thread. While I do not believe there was anything in this thread that connected the issues, clearly, your gracious reply to that other thread makes this connection. If I had been searching for this challenge, and came across this post, I would have been taken there and confirmed there was a connection. And while, I'm sure you'll have this fixed up likety split, next week as you indicated, at some point, someone might find this thread, and realize all is going to be well in the world. That's the only reason for posting here. Not to abuse the system, or take up anyone's time unnecessarily. I do apologize, most sincerely if this action was inappropriate, as my intention was definitely to be helpful, not a needy customer! Thanks, James.

Does that go with all of the plugins that use PayPal (and have a test mode)? Because I just installed Pay to Blog and it, like Supporter and Upgrades all have the sandbox recurring payment blues.

Some of the ones that include all posts from a blog in the sitemap required way too much RAM. This is why we created the simple sitemaps plugin. I'm afraid there currently aren't any plans to add features so if you need all of the bells and whistles (or even some of them) then it's best to use one of the other plugins.

The simple sitemaps plugin is great, but simple. Would be awesome to have a sitemaps plugin that adds the more common sitemap plugin functionality of having control over also adding tags, categories, pages, etc. to the sitemap.

I noticed that the analytics plugin also counts dashboard / admin page views as well. I had never seen an analytics plugin do this before so I was surprised to see these pages showing up in my reports! Might be nice to have an option to not count admin pages as it might be possible that most users are not interested in having dashboard page views included with their normal analytics reports... just a thought.

It will not do the actual tracking but it'll show a window with info that google is keeping track of visitors on the page, and according to google it'll "help tracking". The code you actually use to track with is inserted in the form. So i.e. when someone fills out all the options and submit the forum, google gets an indication that the user has submitted the form.
