Hello @hnla

I have a Micro Business and I have total 5 websites all belong to this business only. I don’t posses any technical knowledge but WordPress / BuddyPress is simple enough that it allowed me create my websites.

I thought keeping all my websites together will let me easily update and maintain them. However I discovered some issues while running BP and NON-BP sites together specially SEO compatibility.

NOW, I have 2 separate installations :
1. A MultiSite that has 4 websites all NON-BP [No issues here, all fine]
2. A MultiSite that has only 1 website BuddyPress enabled and I want to disable/remove MS here.

The problems that I’m facing are discussed here : http://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-multisite-db-error

Kind regards

Hi @mercime ,
My Installation is :
WordPress : 3.5
BuddyPress : 1.6.2
I (myself) wanted to have my 5 websites in the multisite. 1 main site (BuddyPress) + 4 sub-sites Just WordPress (Not BuddyPress). I don’t offer sites to members.

I have taken back up using Simple Backup. It backs up

1. SQL which is fine approx 7 MB
2. Server files 800 MB! I’m wondering if a backup becomes required how long it will take.

Please advice if the above file size is normal?

regards

Hello @mercime

Thank you for your reply.

Deactivate all plugins and change to Twenty Twelve theme. (Deactivate all, including buddypress?).

My members are registered on the network, once multisite is removed will my members still be their?

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 6 months ago]

Thank you very much for the update..

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 6 months ago]

Members’ photo albums are the most important part of my website and
after trying available plugins, I found BuddyPress Album to be the best, easy, simple and lightweight solution.

I am grateful for the prompt support provided to fix the compatibility with WordPress 3.5.

BuddyPress Album is a 5 star!

Hi @djpaul !

Thank you for your reply, I want to report this to the plugin author. I posted this help request at http://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-album/. Is it not there?

Kind regards

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 6 months ago]

Found the problem

I have a second bp website which I didn’t updated to WP 3.5 and BP 1.6.2. I just tested everything (album uploads) worked properly until I updated.

After update, if I try to upload a picture to my BP-Album it shows following error:

Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/content/xx/xxxxxxx/html/wp-content/plugins/bp-album/includes/bpa.classes.php on line 322 and defined in /home/content/xx/xxxxxxx/html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 990

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_create_thumbnail() in /home/content/xx/xxxxxxx/html/wp-content/plugins/bp-album/includes/bpa.screens.php on line 394

The above error didn’t show on my first website because I turned off errors by using below code in my function.php

ini_set( 'display_errors', false );
error_reporting( 0 );

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 6 months ago]

Sorry, the NOTE above is written incorrectly. It should be as follows :

NOTE : in both cases (Admin or Subscriber) the address bar shows the address https//-mysite-com/profiles/username/photos/upload/. This means the address bar doesn’t change (remains unchanged), its the actual upload page url.

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 6 months ago]

Hello @Hugo , Thank you very much for your reply

Yes I have BP 1.6.2 and WP 3.5

If I (admin) try to upload a new picture to my album it stops in a blank white page. Refreshing does the same thing.

If another users (subscribers) try to upload new pictures to their albums they end in a 404 page (Screenshot). This 404 page is different from a normal 404 page (Screenshot).

NOTE : in both 404 cases the address bar shows the address https//-mysite-com/profiles/username/photos/upload/. If you (being the same user) go to this address, this is normal upload page url under photos (slug changed from album) >> upload picture

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 6 months ago]

This code saved me as a temporary solution :

ini_set( 'display_errors', false );
error_reporting( 0 );

Just add the above in the function.php before the closing of the file ie; before ?>

Shared it just in case anybody is in trouble.

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 6 months ago]

@Woodynat2000 Thank you for your help, however the solution didn’t work for me. It takes my site completely off…just the following error message shows:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/xx/xxxxxxx/html/wp-config.php on line 3

regards

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 6 months, 1 week ago]

Thank you for your replies. I have temporarily disabled the plugin.

Members’ photo albums are very important to my website, I can’t afford to keep the plugin disabled for long. Hope to get this resolved soon..

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 6 months, 1 week ago]

Okay! Can you please tell how do I update?

regards

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 7 months, 3 weeks ago]

This plugins seems to be saying what I’m trying to achieve. However its not updated for more than a year and not working now.

@modemlooper Hello and thank you again for your help. What I wanted was fully achieved with the code you provided. This is fine and working very nicely however now I wish to keep a few member profiles out of this restriction. Basically Admins and moderators, I want to allow only these members’ profiles accessible by subscribers (In addition to their own, which is already working).

The setup at the moment is as follows:

1. Subscribers can only see and maintain their own profiles.
2. s2members level 1 and Admins can see others profiles too.

What I want now is:

Subscribes can see a few selected members’ profiles too (May we define them either by role or by their id to exclude from the restriction?).

Any ideas on this?

Thank you very much.

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 9 months, 2 weeks ago]

@modemlooper

THANKS A TON!!! You have made me achieve 100% of what I was thinking of, your fix has worked like a charm..

Unfortunately I do not know php as yet so I could not make your entire code work for me but yes a combination of what you have given and what I had has done the trick.

I picked up `&& !is_admin()` from your code and edited `&& !user_can( $user, $capability )` to `&& !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)` and added it to the piece of code I had. This worked totally!

I’m truly thankful to you.
I wish you all the very best for the good work you do

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 9 months, 2 weeks ago]

Oh!
Sorry but I do not know php, can you recommend me a place where someone may do it for me for a fee?
Thank you very much for your time and help.

@modemlooper
Hello,
Thank you very much that you replied. No, I have been trying to find a solution for this for more than a month at BuddyPress forums, S2member forums and everywhere else I could find people talking about BuddyPress but no luck!

S2member support has said that this is not possible, they suggest uri restrictions but a uri restriction prevents user from seeing their own profile too.

If for example I restrict /profile/ a member will not be able to see his/her own profile. I somewhere found a custom uri /members/%%displayed_username%%/ but that too blocks members from own profiles.

Please put some light on the idea you have in mind.

Thank you very much for your time and help.

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 10 months, 1 week ago]

Thank you very much for your reply. This seems to be simpler and I will try this.

However, while searching for a solution for this problem, I found a css code to try removing search box. The code is as follows
`.registration #search-form, .activation #search-form { display: none; }`
Then, I used
`.page-id 20 #seach-form { display: none; }`
Removed it from all the pages, except the one I wanted to keep it on.
I figured out using ‘page’ (.page #search-form { display: none; }) removes the box from every page but not blog posts and bp pages (like profile, activity etc.)

Can you help me know how to define ‘blog posts’ and ‘buddypress pages’ to remove the search box from those pages too. I want to say something like following:

`.post #seach-form { display: none; }`
and
`.bp-page #seach-form { display: none; }`

I have tried ‘post’, ‘posts’, ‘post-page’, ‘blog’, ‘blog-page’ etc. and many values for buddypress pages as well but nothing works out.

Please help me figure out the value to put to define the page types.

Thank you very much again

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 10 months, 2 weeks ago]

No, I have not done anything to the theme. I think the update may take some time. Can you advice something meanwhile?

Thank you

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 10 months, 2 weeks ago]

Just updated! the new privacy option added to the profile fields are creating confusion in my setup. Is there a way I can disable it?

I requested urgent help on this please.

Thank you very much

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 10 months, 2 weeks ago]

Does anybody have a clue how to achieve this : http://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/topic/giveing-only-specific-users-access-to-albumpictures/

Thank you for your help.

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 10 months, 2 weeks ago]

Hello Again,

Can you recommend me some place where somebody may modify the code for a fee?
You recommendation will be a great help for me.

[mairajParticipant @mairaj 10 months, 3 weeks ago]

Hi!
Thank you very much for your reply. I see two problems with the solutions you have suggested.

1. If I go with ‘Show to Friends Only’, the control will be under my users (Models) hands. They will be able to share their pictures with whomsoever they want not specifically with the agencies I suggest.

2. I will be limiting agencies’ ability to look at any model’s pictures they want. Every time they want to look at a model’s pics they will have to request friendship and wait until the request is accepted. This will not be a good experience for users.

Is it not possible to modify the code so that instead of checking for friends it checks for user category/ group (I mean agency)? Then I will simply change the wordings from ‘Show to Friends Only’ to ‘Show to Agencies Only’.

I will appreciate your guidance.
Thanks and regards

Hello,

I think I have asked something unusual that I don’t see any replies. Sorry guys I’m not a programer or developers, I am just trying to create a website for myself and I cannot afford to hire anyone at the moment.

I will truly appreciate any replies that may guide me.
