In reply to: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 90 seconds
First thing to do is try and sort through the errors, use the w3c html validator, likely with so many errors the majority will be repeats, cure one or two and you’ll resolve many in one hit. It is important to get errors down to trivial issues otherwise all other attempts to troubleshoot issues are coloured by a broken DOM.
In reply to: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 90 secondsYou have serious issues with that theme.
Please disable and revert to the default BP theme , check how your site performs, also disable any non essential plugins.
Your site at the moment is asking the sgml parser to attempt to cope with over 4000 errors, the tag soup parser historically was designed to attempt best fit guesses at how to render / display errors however there’s a limit it can deal with and a limit that a browser can cope with trying to examine them and in this instance it’s crashing my browser so I can’t help further, unless this is a specific plugin issue I would suggest you think about another theme- if that is running BP default proves to display the site as normal.
In reply to: Using 1.7 and need help with template layoutI would perhaps wait, the proposed and committed patch was re-written by a later one reverting the change due to other issues arising from first.
For reference the green line is the addition or changed line and the red the removed or original version:
@xsci This is a year old thread and discusses an issue relating to BP 1.5.1; BP is about to release version 1.7.
Please open a new thread, describe the issues you are having and what versions of BP / WP you are using and please test any issues you are having are not custom theme related by dropping back to the bp default theme
In reply to: Theme IntegrationIf you’re logged in then you will be re-directed to homepage if you try and visit registration page, likewise you can’t activate a new member if testing while logged in, try another browser to perform activation.
And what plugin clears up the plugin that clears up the plugins 🙂 .
This is really a question for WP forums, it’s not BP related really.
Some plugins will provide their own clean up routines but generally not and obviously simply on deactivation one wouldn’t want stored config values removed.
In reply to: Error Message – locked out of my website 🙁Have you followed that last step Mercime suggests? Renaming the plugin folder will allow you to access the backend again.
With error messages like that don’t paste the full path it’s not necessary and exposes your server directory structure – I’ll edit those paths for you.
In reply to: Theme incompatibility..HELP!You likely haven’t followed the manual steps to adjust the BP templates to match your theme.
As 1.7 is pretty much ready and in final phases of testing you might be better to wait or upload the beta to test with as 1.7 removes the need for template pack and will work with any theme.
In reply to: Theme Integration@mercime Tried to track down the template-hierarchy post but it’s gone. vanished, defunct, deleted, had everyone hunting for it 🙁
In reply to: How do I get Yoast SEO to work with Buddypress‘Just Work’! well there you go then I would stick with Joomla , however as a long time Standards developer I can tell you I wouldn’t touch Joomla with a barge pole, I publicly gave up helping any devs using the joomla platform due to the most terrible coding errors I had seen of any application, and the sort of errors that hurt SEO.
When you have thought this through and realised that WP as a platform is a thousand times better regarded by search engines than say Joomla, we might be able to help, I’ve dealt with this issue in the past but would have to hunt out the code from one of my dev sites and test.
In reply to: BuddyPress is breaking two functions of my themeYou have things a little back to front; you need to be addressing this issue to the theme author in the first instance. If these features which are breaking are part of this themes custom offerings and if this theme is said to be BP compatible then it stands to reason those features will have been tested to work in a BP enabled site. If they are breaking then the theme author needs to determin why and whether he may need to update his theme to match the latest stable BP release or if he finds a deeper issue report that to tarc.bp and raise a ticket.
In reply to: How do you tell if a user is spam or not?Spam!
You may get a fair bit of it, search the forum for topics on prevention.
In reply to: How do I get Yoast SEO to work with BuddypressYou place a lot of store by that rather ambivalent phrase or acronym SEO, back in the day when we built sites freehand, we covered this requirement simply by following good Standards, which google was starting to grasp and use as it’s measure.
What exactly is so poor in BP’s data/content presentation that you think it requires further manipulation to the extent that if you can’t do so you would actually ditch the entire application, that response just sounds bizarre to me.
WP always did manage to get indexed pretty well by search engines, why or how is BP so bad and why are you so disappointed in the lack of response here to your assertion that BP needs SEO so badly.
Search engine indexing I grant you is important – sadly – BP could probably be massaged in the area of titles perhaps. SEO on the other hand is snake oil to many of us that have been around a while.
And the best answer has been given above I’m afraid, contact the plugin author commission him to update the plugin to work with BP, sometimes you have to pay a little to earn a little.
In reply to: Theme IntegrationHard ticket to find:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4639
While hunting remembered that Paul’s guide had been linked to on that ticket originally, perhaps we can give it a little more prominence?
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/template-hierarchy/
If that is the page existed??!! seems the page has been removed entirely @DJPaul ?
In reply to: Sitewide Activity problem?This is actually not an issue, if you want to understand the nature of this read this ticket:
In reply to: Theme IntegrationHowever you really shouldn’t tag onto others posts it’s poor form 😉
You are not forced into anything you can still use older style bp templates they will still overload in the manner they always did, as for the new theme compat templates you can work in the same manner as WP templates by naming your page file.
@djpaul wrote a useful guide but I can’t find it anywhere perhaps he will link to it and then we can see about placing it somewhere obvious.
In reply to: BuddyPress CompatibleAs suggested earlier time to change theme 😉 or request the theme author look at things?
In reply to: Sitewide Activity problem?Also when I create or edit a Group I can’t activate the “Notify group members of changes via email” option. When I choice YES it jumps straight back to NO after saving.
This looks like a overlooked check, as radios do not check set value and have simply a hardcoded checked value for default behaviour. I’ll open a ticket, well done for spotting.
In reply to: Comments Issue?? and what versions of things are you running.
Are you running a custom theme? If you are using a custom theme have you reverted to the BP default theme to check if the same behaviour is observed?
We really need a little background info and basic troubleshooting done before any meaningful help can be given.
In reply to: Below my FooterNot 100% sure what you copied and to where but your page is technically a broken one all the BP content is rendering after the closing html tag.
You could attempt to rectify this with help but in all honesty you would be better off waiting on the release of BP 1.7 with theme compatibility as you won’t face these issues any longer.
You may also download BP 1.7 beta and install that, it’s feeling pretty stable and is unlikely to change greatly between now and final release.
In reply to: 1.7 Beta 1 – Theme compatability css issueWhy what is happening? Always state what you perceive as an issue, as it may not be clear especially when there isn’t actually an issue as such.
I’m assuming you expect to see those mini avatars as a block running left to right. In reality the avatars and the parent elements do not have the styles necessary to render that visual, you will need to add those styles.
To effect the ability to render BP in any theme and given there can be not advance idea of how a theme may look it’s necessary to style the BP elements as little as possible simply adding some essential defaults while attempting to let the actual themes properties inherit where they can.
In reply to: Wrapping text around profile pic in post/*}
div.post .entry{
clear: both;
}*/
That is wrong on the face of it, it needs to be:
}
/*
div.post .entry{
clear: both;
}*/
Issues might be that the post entry or excerpt is being used or has the added effect of keeping the bottom box edge margined away from content, without the entry clearing the avatar box shorter excerpts will mean the avatar box abuts the bottom edge.
erm it was Mercime that pointed out the issue so is due the thanks 🙂 I just ranted a little then spent a half hour writing a trac ticket 🙂
I’ve raised this issue off site and consider it frankly bizarre, that setting was and is for adding a entry to the robots.txt file and as the descriptive text explicitly suggests is for discouraging search engines from indexing so what on earth has that to do with the ability of ones site to display data across the site(s) to members/users – this also affects other activity on site iirc such as forum post activity stream display.
imho this behaviour is badly wrong and a trac ticket needs opening to discuss this.
In reply to: Wrapping text around profile pic in postPerhaps this extra space in my thread is a product of the BP Columns child theme that I have installed on BuddyPress
Well test that then, drop back to bp default theme!
I’m afraid that if people wish different styling then they need to get familiar with the code to perform that, a provided theme can only be a best fit to suit many, if you start to adjust that base theme then you risk doing something others may not like.
fwiw it is the bp columns custom styling causing this perceived problem:
div.post .entry {
clear: both;
}
Remove that line and the post entry will align to the right of the avatar and if allowed the text will wrap, however the manner in which things have been written means this will cause other styling issues that would have to be addressed.
