The crop only works if IE8 is set to “compatibility mode” which is a major problem for this side of the world. It looks like an issue with the jcrop script. Please let me know if you encounter any solutions.

Thank you.

@DJPaul Hi…

Just wondering, are other people able to crop their avatars in IE8?

  Don’t know — and I haven’t got a Windows PC that I can test it on either, unfortunately.

@DJPaul Hi Paul,

I disabled all plugins and changed the theme to default. The avatar crop still didn’t work in IE8… and since the site is live I had to switch it back to my custom theme.

I’m almost certain this is a bug in the script and I just need a fix to get around it until Buddypress comes up with an official solution. Please…[Read more]

I just upgraded to WordPress 3.0.1 as well.

I keep getting a message “Error on the page” in IE8.

Please note: My users are not technologically sophisticated enough to change settings in IE8 – that’s why I need it work out of the box.

Many, many thanks!

Hi Paul,

I disabled every plugin other than BuddyPress – the avatar crop still doesn’t work in IE8. Then, with only BuddyPress plugin, I switched to the default theme. It still doesn’t work.

Please help soon.

Thank you,
Jdawn

@DJPaul Hi Paul,

Thanks so much for commenting on my post

Many thanks.

Hi Paul, I just tried this fix, but it didn’t work: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/ie8-compatibility-mode. Below is a list of my active plugins. But I’m not sure if it’s a plugin issue because the cropping works in Firefox. Is it an IE8 compatibilty issue? If so, how can I get around it? Here are my active plugins: * […]

jdawn started the forum topic Nicer Permalinks for Vietnamese (with add-on of Thai characters) in the group Third Party Components & Plugins: 14 years, 4 months ago

I have used the Nicer Permalinks for Vietnamese code to force my BuddyPress permalinks to show in Roman characters rather than Thai characters, because BuddyPress does not allow %post_id% in its permalink structure as far as I can tell. The Thai characters which automatically appeared in the permalink on the post page were a problem […]
