BuddyPress.org

Wow.

Yes. Some tend to break certain parts of BuddyPress, however, so if your group avatar cropping stops working, it’s probably a WordPress plugin’s javascript causing a conflict.

BuddyPress won’t work like that. At the moment, it can only be activated on one specific blog or across the entire network.

Hi Mark
Thanks. If you could report this as a bug on http://trac.buddypress.org, we can get this fixed in core.

@modemlooper Looks like the above should sort you out? Let me know.

Either the upload was corrupted, or you’ve edited in functions.php and missed out some PHP syntax. Compare it to the original version at https://svn.buddypress.org/tags/1.2.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php and see if you can see what caused it to break.

It’s a serialised array, so that’s why it looks odd. Can you submit this as an enhancement for 1.2.6 on https://trac.buddypress.org/ please? BP Core doesn’t use this function directly so we ought to be able to tidy up this templatetag.

I think it’s here https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/first-visitor-message/. I can see straight away that it is loading its own version of jQuery. It is also loading its own javascript on every front-end and admin page load. I think if these issues were addressed in the plugin, it would work properly with BuddyPress.

If you can give us the name of plugin whose javascript conflicts with BuddyPress’ avatar crop, we can investigate and see how to improve it. If you get a browser warning message, too, that would be helpful in pinpointing the error.

The map on the profile pages on this site are hardcoded with the following: http://pastebin.com/rqd16Rm9

That looks like it would rename part of WordPress’ author URI, not the actual user name?

Having researched this recently, people affected are probably using PHP 5.3. Let me know what filters plugins are triggering the errors for and we’ll try to fix for BP 1.2.6.

Hi @jpjoki
Thanks very much! Yes, I hadn’t yet approved the comment on my blog but it has been now. I plan to release a new version of Welcome Pack in about two weeks so I will include this then; I’ll be in touch!

Look in your web server’s error log to find out what the error is.

Hi Dwenaus Sorry that we’ve let it slip — once 1.2.6 is finalised (to avoid any last-minute code changes), I’m going to update the skeleton component. And then I’ve got a really cool idea for something like a 2.0 skeleton component, which I need to run by a few people first and then I can […]

Not really. It uses that part of the URL to detect which users’ pages you are trying to view.

What’s your end goal of doing this?
