WordPress NYC Community

Hello,

I teach Math, Science and Technology classes at multiple campuses (campusi?) I use BuddyPress to create accounts for all of my students to post their homework assignments. I categorize each student post by content area, and tag each student post with the campus the class is held. The problem is, I end up with a massive page of every student’s posts on the same category page. I would like to have a separate page for each class, on each campus. boricuablog.org is the website.

I know a little php, and am assuming there is no simple widget or plugin that can do this for me. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Robert Lewis

The easy way would be to have a subdomain for each campus. I’m sure others will have better suggestions though. (btw, the plural is campuses, though you could–incorrectly–use campi if you really wanted to. People might thing you misspelled the shrimp dish though.)

Thanks for the info. I’m a teacher who’s follows the KISS philosophy when working with computers. So I’m not a multisite user. Does it cost a lot to get it, or is it a free upload? And is there a big learning curve to using it? Subdomains strike me as taking time and money, which teachers don’t have a lot of, so I’m going to try the custom taxonomy first.

Thanks, and any more thoughts would be appreciated as well.

OK, will try next week to learn. Thanks!

I would love to go back to my haunts in bburg (i so miss the Right Bank), but I’m teaching a class next Thursday evening. I’m already a member of your group, so I’ll be looking for your next Meetup…

Installing WP in a subdirectory is not that difficult. Check out this forum post;
