not sure why that is – from any general point in the dashboard backend you should be able to access all sites / network admin what user role do you have? needs to be highest.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Just get in to the general backend then work out your surroundings from the links, MS is somewhat confusing and sadly not that greatly intuitive.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

don’t dribble information out dump it all in the opening post plaese

MS runs slightly differently you need to look for the link to network admin BP will be installed from there and you’ll be able to access subdomains from there and possibly from adminbar links can’t recall off top of my head without checking.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Which is usual behaviour! Can you not after login access the dashboard from the BP or WP adminbars or from /wp-admin/

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Probably by doing something along the lines of installing ‘buddypress-group documents’ plugin and then in the screen templates doing some magic to only show uploaded docs to the logged_in_user == bp_displayed_user or user is an admin, you should be able to get something working albeit a bit crude.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Ok so it looks like it isn’t a theme issue then although I do still see a BP plugin running? ‘bp-groups’?
If that is still running please deactivate it and test again.

If issue is still evident – as I think it will be – and you want me to have a look then contact me on the email addie I left on the ticket and we can discuss.

Likely the processing ‘crunching’ that has to be done on an image.

tbh 80mb script memory ought to be sufficient, but then I don’t know what scripts are trying to run altogether- your host saying 80mb is the limit is a bit mean but then if your on shared hosting server administrators do have to manage this allocation and rightly prevent all means of adjusting values as it has a knock on effect where one site could bring down the server if allowed to consume unlimited memory to run scripts. If the situation / site is critical your best bet would be moving up to the next stage of hosting and get a VPS where you can allocate your resources as you see fit.

Have you any plugins running – not necessarily BP but WordPress specific- that may be interfering with signups?

If you are are running your site with all non-essential (WP or BP) plugins disabled and have changed from your custom child theme to the bundled bp-default theme and you are using latest version of stable BP release and the issue persists and also is evident on creation of new members under these absolute default conditions, then it’s sounding like you have a corrupted DB and fixing that may not be straightforward.

However it is essential to absolutely ensure that NO plugins are running other than BP for testing purposes and that we are running bp-default – apologies for labouring this point – when I visit the site url I do always see your custom theme, can we see just the bp theme running for the moment?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

‘live support’ I think that’s an inappropriate idea really, it’s enough that one has free support avenues such as this; one to one support is a paid for type of service really.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

It does not change any of your posts or pages, however it does require that a compatible BuddyPress theme is running and that means you will need to do a little work if you have a theme in use already and don’t want to use the bp-default theme bundled with BP.

To modify an existing theme to work with BP you need to run the template pack plugin, details of which and step by step guide you will find in the BP codex.

> I have seen divs used in a premium plugin (buddydev’s cosmicbuddy).

Do bear in mind though that a ‘div’ is simply an non semantic aggregating element not intended to directly hold parsed character data so you do need a markup structure to hold your fields if not a table construct – which is pretty much a fair use for this data – then a list structure ‘ul’ or ‘dl’ can work.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Mate you’re skating on very thin ice here I’m incredibly inclined to close this thread and any other you care to start if you are going to insult me or any other person trying to help in that manner.

Time for you to hire someone as suggested, you are out of your depth and haven’t enough technical knowledge, I on the other hand do have quite a bit of experience with many aspects of web development having been at it professionally for a fair few years now – just to set the record straight

The htacces rules were NOT MINE! they are from a wp codex page so please feel free to go bitch at them and also I did not write the page describing how to delete BP also no where that I can remember was it advised that you go and start deleting tables that is for experienced users to do and a very risky thing unless you know what you are doing!

Good luck with getting this sorted, and have no fear I will not meddle further, but do the forum the courtesy of updating the thread when you have found the solution as it may help others.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@dianeinatlanta What’s the status of this issue?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Concentrate on the bp default theme for the moment, Mingle is – I suppose – a BP compatible theme and as such should have all the files necessary contained within it’s own theme folder. You can come back to the mingle theme, I would just concentrate on BP for the moment, but first disable BP as well and just establish that WP is working correctly, finds posts/pages , and allows registrations.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

there will be a few entries made to the options table by BP those you would not have deleted such as ‘template’ bp-default and a fair few other entries.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Yep I would agree with that it actually shouldn’t be necessary # it out for the moment.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

And this is the default subdomain .htaccess set of WP rules

`
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wpincludes/msfiles.php?file=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} d
RewriteRule ^ [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
`
from the link Aces provided.

And should be current – ish it’s identical to one of mine albeit using regex for uploads but it works.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

oh do hate caching plugins, meant to ask whether one had been in use.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

few things stick out in the .htaccess file:

I see no:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

The other thread is here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/new-user-is-listed-fifteen-times-in-member-directory/

But you confirm it’s NOT a theme issue, so there is larger issue at work here

.htaccess checks out as ok, permalinks re-freshed, no plugins running that might possibly affect things even if remotely so.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

kicked back to /register after attempting in firefox.

And yo have definitely disabled all plugins and reverted to bp-default theme to test?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

[aside] so this may be interesting – or not – but we have another thread with very odd issues and a common aspect between them ‘parallelus-salutation’ and this thread with ‘parallelus-mingle’?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

This theme isn’t a BP compatible one is it? Have you run the BP template pack plugin to adapt the theme for use with BP?

Have you visited the permalink page to ensure that your permalink cache is refreshed

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

And your sure that you get these issues with all plugins disabled and running just the default BP theme if this is the case then you definitelt seem to have something very odd happening also you server doesn’t appear to want to serve pages up it’s just hanging on the requests. Who put this iste together for you? If you had a developer set the site and server up you may need to talk to them about the issues.

Out of interest was WP installed via one of those one click fantastico script installers as they often seem to cause problems with broken installs.

The problem with asking a developer to take a look is that it will be an unknown quantity in terms of time required to find the issue, might take half an hour, might take 3 or 4 hours and could start to get costly.

I might be inclined to to try a re-install of BP just in case the issues do lie with it’s installation, the more that’s ruled out the less time a dev will have to spend on it.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

You can do one of two things:

1/ remove the float from #header and replace with ‘overflow: hidden’

Or
2/ add ‘clear:both; to div.activity in the bp styles, creating the ruleset if it doesn’t exist.

You can then do what you did in applying ‘list-style: none;’.

This is pretty much a consequence of mixing style from essentially two different themes, you may well run into other issue as well.

What puzzles me is that the theme you have used here states in it’s header ‘tags’ line ‘BP’ if that is the case and it is BP compatible then you have no need to run the BP template pack.
