The plugin. HungryFEED was causing those errors. HungryFEED seems to have blacked out and its support website is also gone. Thankfully there are plenty of RSS feed plugins to switch to.

Here is a similar plugin that encourages the use of real names instead of login words…..

I use the tubepress plugin for video… You can show many thumbnails on your site and play them in a light-box popup… or in their original YouTube page – which solves your user comment issue without having to make new templates

the Activity Plus plugin allows users to post videos with their comments, just like Facebook, but for BuddyPress….

web hosting sites advertise unlimited bandwidth, etc… but in fact there is a 50,000 file limit (which they say is beyond their backup capabilities)…. sooner or later vps for cloud computing

I use Bluehost and Hostmonster, which are both of the same company in Utah.

@simple-man seems to have found a cheap host that doesn’t use mechanical hard drives but fast solid state flash drives… that sounds interesting.

@modemlooper : A BuddyPress member cannot delete their account. But a WordPress administrator can delete a user from the dashboard.. If you have been following the recent EU moves on the Internet, such as forcing sites to post “We use cookies on this site” dumb messages, it will probably soon be necessary for members to be able to cancel their own accounts, for the sake of privacy…

@tolusage RE: “It shouldn’t be probably out of your league investing in some enterprise-class social networking package out there or simply employ an in-house wordpress developer to do your bidding. It’s quite cheaper than you think!”

Sure, when I start earning money from my websites, I’ll make you all millionaires. lol…

I Finally got it. I deactivated all my plugins except BuddyPress and I switched to a safe theme (TwentyTwelve)…. I was then able to update to BuddyPress 1.9.2 with no problem.. Except that some plugins lost their settings and had to be re-configured….. So why hasn’t anyone come up with a simple WP plugin that automatically deactivates all plugins for updates and then reactivates them again?.. hmmm…. sometimes the obvious solution is overlooked.

[@fkapnist Participant 10 years, 10 months ago]

The documentation says: “improvements to theme compatibility.” But judging from all the complaints on this forum, I’d say that version 1.9.2 has introduced new theme compatibility problems…

try to register with a different browser.. maybe the cookies are not saved

Easiest way : Have users “email a request to the administrator” who can then manually delete any user accounts

I added these lines to my theme settings to remove WordPress dashboard icons from the toolbar:

#wp-admin-bar-wp-logo { display:none; }
#wp-admin-bar-site-name { display:none; }

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_active()

That’s the error I get in my child theme functions.php

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_active()

That’s the error I get in my child theme functions.php …. but I haven’t a clue what to do to fix it… Hey guys, I’m a journalist, not a bit twiddler…. The BuddyPress team is world famous for passing the blame to other plugins – instead of its own bad installation procedures… I’ve noticed this scapegoating going on for years …

I can’t get the global Buddydev search form to work… it only searches members and stops…. I notice that the search button on this site doesn’t work either.. it just takes me to a landing page whatever term I search for…
