I still have the problem reported here with the last buddypress version 2.3.2.1.

If I download the profile photo from my buddypress instance (150x150px) and than re-upload it to buddypress, resize it the the fullsize the following error message will be displayed:

“There was a problem with cropping the profile photo.”

[@helpy Participant 9 years, 6 months ago]

I could reproduce the error.

For me the error only happens if the uploaded image is too small.

My profile photo on my PC has the size 150x150px.
I resizede it to 1500x1500px.
I uploaded the big profile photo.
I set the cropping to use the full image.
I pressed the button to crop the image.

Surprise ==> Now it worked.

Very strange!
(1) Uploading my small image and cropping to use the full image leads to the cropping error.
(2) Uploading my big image (resized from the small one) and cropping to use the full image does not lead to an error.

I have a german wordpress … and I do not know if I re-translated it exactly to english!

It is in WordPress Administration ==> BuddyPress ==> General Settings ==> Disable user account deletion?

Still testing plugin “Invite Anyone”

[@helpy Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

using 1.2.6 … getting the same error.

deleted user from WP dashboard … but user still exist in BP ….

EDIT: Answer:
Admin can not delete other user if the option “user cannot delete itself” is enabled!
temporarily disable the option, delete user, enable option again.

OK! Thank you for the suggestion!

I will test the plugin …

[@helpy Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

Asking myself the same!

I want to use hidden groups, but do not want to use the friends component!

[@helpy Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

I have the same question! … using WP 3.0.1 and BP 1.2.6!

friend component is inactive! … I want to invite members to a hidden group!

Does child-theming of the BP Default theme (which resides in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes) will work if I put the child theme in wp-content/themes?

Because if I update buddypress plugin with the wordpress update function … all templates in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes will be deleted before the new version will bei installed!

Have a similar problem

Prev. installation WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.4.1
Upgraded to BP 1.2.5

In the blog comments of the blog with id 2 I got some warnings:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/is/htdocs/my-account-name/my-domain/www/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files//avatars/3) is not within the allowed path(s): (/is/htdocs/user_tmp/my-account-name:/tmp:/dev/null:/dev/urandom:/bin:/usr:/is/default.errors:/is/htdocs/my-account-name) in /is/htdocs/my-account-name/my-domain/www/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 150

The Problem is, that there is no directory /wp-content/blogs.dir/1 in my installation! Besides the main blog I created only a second one (/wp-content/blogs.dir/2).

If I copy bp-core-avatars.php from BP 1.2.4.1 in my 1.2.5 installation the waring is gone! But this does not seem to be a proper solution because there a some changes in the php file …

My solution, which I found some where else in this forum: I put the following two lines in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_URL’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER . ‘/wp-content/uploads’ );
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH’, $_SERVER . ‘/wp-content/uploads’ );

The warning is gone
