Dismissing alerts

[henry.wright]

The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register. Repair

I seem to be getting this alert on all pages in the admin area. I can't seem to dismiss it.

Cant replicate, how are you trying to dismiss?

Just checked in 2.7.2 deleting assigned page, generating warning notice, re-instating page, notice is removed, removed page again add new page assign that new page notice removed.

Can't see an issue on trunk on MS either.

There's no way to dismiss the alert aside from assigning the page(s). In my case I don't want to use these pages.

[hnla]

No no way, other than assigning pages to those components.

If you don't want to use those pages, then add new page 'Join' and select that to assign as the Register page?

Humm, but then that would mean example.com/join/ would be accessible via the front-end. I don't really want that?

[hnla]

and realise I'm probably misunderstanding your intent here, sorry; you're saying you simply don't want registration or activation, have no need for associated pages? And disabling registration in WP settings isn't an option?

[henry.wright]

@hnla yes, I'm actually using a custom registration process so have no need for the registration and activation pages. I can ignore the alert but was thinking from an "improve BuddyPress point of view".

My thoughts are admin alerts should be less aggressive for the user. For example, maybe add a "Close" button on the alert.

[hnla]

You could ticket and gather second opinions for a dismiss button on the notice, I think though that would only be acceptable if it was clear that the lack of associated pages didn't actually have ramifications to core at some point somewhere.

Closing this ticket as a wontfix if that's ok?

Go for it. This ticket was just a suggestion :)
