I have a new install with Buddypress Multisite using the latest
* Wordpress Multisite 3.2.1
* Buddypress 1.5.1
* Membership 2.1.2
* Pro-sites 3.0.3
* Multisite Privacy
I am going through a big learning curve but surprised at how quickly everything seems to be coming together.
I have it set-up so that users join using the membership plugin and then one group of users can create sites using Pro-Sites. As all of my sub-sites are private I would like to remove the following option and have it set as default to No
Privacy: I would like my site to appear in search engines, and in public listings around this network.
Yes/No

Hiya Broniors,
Glad to hear things are coming together for ya :)
Under Network Admin>Settings at the bottom you should see the additional privacy options. One of them says 'Allow Override' please make sure that is marked as 'No'.
Note: You may still see the option yourself as super admin, but no other users will be able to access it.

Thanks for help!
I do have that set as Allow Override to No and when I test with a different browser and another user (without admin privleges) it still appears to be there.

Hiya,
I can confirm that the override setting doesn't make the privacy option disappear during the signup process. However, the setting is actually ignored and the privacy plugin works. Also, a regular admin or other will not be able to visit the privacy settings page to change it (though you can as Super Admin).

Also is there anyway of changing the wording at the top of the page? if so what page or where do I need to edit .. or is there another plugin I can use?

Hiya,
To remove or hide that privacy option you'd have to create a custom signup page. This basically involved copying the wp-signup.php file to your theme's root directory and then modifying it (by editing the privacy section lines 95-109) and then direct everyone to your new signup page.

Thanks so much for your help.
My investigations have shown that it is a Buddypress function that needs to be amended. Unfortunately I also found that edited can not be done through the bpcustom.php file and must be done via the core file. (If someone knows a way around that I will be more than happy to be wrong :) ...)
I have found that the bp_blogs_signup_blog function within the bp-blogs-template.php holds the code necessary to remove the Privacy options from the site signup page used.

Here is a screen capture from the admin
Here is a screen capture from the site registration page. This was signed into another browser using a non-admin account.

Thanks for looking into this for me.
Is there any way of removing it from the front end? I have had a poke around and could not work out which file I would need to amend?

I've written more on this here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/wp-signupphp#post-39889
I'm not sure which page you're referring to as far as wording goes, but if it's the signup page, you'd do this in the same way.
Thanks!

Could this be the reason that the Privacy Plugin is not removing it as an option?
