Very old thread! suggest this isn’t a bug but you ought to read through the ticket linked to above.

if you want the tagline it’s (‘description’) instead of (‘name’) ( check the WP codex for bloginfo() for the parameters it accepts)

Well I’ve told you previously not to play around with caching plugins *shrug* you do not need to be caching. A well set up server will handle wp/bp just fine for a standard low to medium traffic site, only add this sort of thing when it becomes apparent it’s needed.

Avoid too many plugins until you’re sure they are required, absolutely; it’s the weak point of WP

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

It’s a feature of the soon to be released BP 1.3 it’s seen at the install stage and steps you through the setup process. I’m not sure if this is going to be part of 1.3 as I had thought it been removed for a while certainly it doesn’t appear to be part of the current trunk.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

@sbrajesh tbh when I read “into their home page” I imagined the OP might actually be using your plugin for re-direct but the post is unclear and needs clarification. It’s vital to try and get across to people how to perform basic troubleshooting so that they can come prepared in advance with the kind of detail that’s needed to help out.

First rule of thumb is to disable plugins and return to default theme if the issue goes away then you know it’s either a custom theme or plugin issue then when the actual item has been identified questions can be addressed directly to the author or of course brought here.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

No we must establish what’s happening first, before throwing another plugin at an issue, masking the symptoms and never curing the disease. The OP’s question is not clear and raises questions about what is occurring and must be explained in greater detail.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

When you log in the default action is to return you to the index page, it doesn’t sometimes choose the index, home page ,sometimes wp-admin.

It sounds as though you have something altering the default behavior a plugin? if so same actions apply disable all plugins until the issue resolves itself, now you know which plugin causes the problem – although in this instance it may well be apparent that there is a specific plugin in use but only you know that , third party plugins are very difficult to support and issues must be addresed to the plugin author.

Or failing that it might be sort of cool if instead of requests the community returned mods to the work, the backbone of the work done and given to the community then enhanced and extended so the onus isn’t on one single person to have to do, after all the basics are quite easy to throw together but it starts becoming increasingly more work and testing as features get added.

It’s your text length, likely , but can’t recall, that the truncation is done by word not characters? You’ll probably need to set a min-height on those elements @ ~130px

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

I think in this respect instructing to manually correct the issue by directly manipulating the DB tables, deleting records etc isn’t going to be an easy option but think it’s probably the only option.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

duplicate groups has arisen before on the forum, not sure why it happens but it feels like a error in looping somewhere?.

Regardless the first thing you must always do to trouble shoot is fall back to the BP default theme and deactivate any BP plugins and verify if the issue still happens, it’s important to establish if this is a bug with BP or an error in some custom theme or plugin.

@naved

Do not play around with caching plugins until you have your site running correctly and effectively, simply addressing the basics of server configuration and site should produce a site that is responsive enough for most purposes, caching will be effective if and when your site traffic starts to really grow.

Those automated speed test tools provide examples of what you can do to improve things so you will need to work your way through the list googling if your not sure what it’s referring to. gzip compression ought to be enabled as it has a big impact on page loading, you need to ask your host if they can enable mod_deflate for your site or all sites. One thing to remember is that automated tools are always just a guide and they can tend to talk nonsense sometimes so you have to know how to interpret the returned advise.

By the way tested your site and you score is not as low as you report it’s up around the ’80’ mark so not sure what you are reading, and indeed the site seems to perform within expected parameters.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Not really, bottom line is it’s still a WP site in essence the DB is the crucial aspect and that is WP with BP chucking a few tables in, so approach the move as you would for a WP site.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Yes it will or at least it shouild do. The sidebar.php is generally called from the individual files. In my single.php I call get_sidebar() thus I’m on a single page calling the sidebar – works for me anyhow

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Your is_single() test should work, and it doesn’t require the ‘== true’ it returns true or false so if( is_single() ) will return true if on a single.php view.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

trouble is there isn’t a useful distinct class token for profile pages , I went through some changes to the class array a while back with Paul, but this should have been better catered for at the moment there is only ‘my-account’ but nothing that distinguishes a general profile/account view.
You may need to add a class or id to /members/single/home.php on the highest element that exists in the structure which should be ‘content’

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

No!

You never take a trunk , bleeding edge, nightly build or whatever one may refer to current in development code and use it on a production server/ live site.

1.2.8 is the current stable version to run the trunk when ready will be tagged as 1.3 and released, before then only download trunk and use it in a test environment.

btw this is a very old thread to resurrect.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

You need to be able to change the file permissions that it’s telling you? config.ini

On a linux box at the cli you would do something like:
$ chmod 755 config.ini
if in the directory containing the file otherwise describing the full path to file /var/www/…

With cpanel ? iirc you can use ‘file manager’ navigate to the file and you should have options somewhere to change file permissions, try it and see.

an you upload images to your site, upload/change avatars? as you may need to relax permissions on wp-content as well but work back from the actual file before setting to many directories with relaxed permissions.

The WP codex has a useful page on WP permissions which you ought to read as it helps explain ideal file and folder permissions for a standard WP install.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

How? please always share how you solved a problem on a open forum as it may help others who come across the thread.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

`define (‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’); adding this to wp-config can solve my problem ?`

This is a non question the response to which always has to be ‘You tell us’! try it does it fix the issue? it’s a simple test.

if it doesn’t then your host may not permit individual sites to alter PHP at site level ( very sensible on shared hosting) in which case you may need to speak to tech support and ask that the memory limit is increased or whether it can be.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

The ‘cannot move to uploads’ is a server user/groups configuration issue, the server doesn’t have permission to create/write to dirs you may also have PHP safe mode running? or your sohusin config is causing issues.

As for the these sorts of issues access to the server is required to fully understand and troubleshoot.

btw it’s not a great idea to post up phpinfo info.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Please search the WP plugin repository, you’ll ind an extensive list of plugins there and you don’t necessarily need plugins that are designed with BP in mind.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

@DJPaul this is why I have raised the matter again check your emails when you have a moment, we may not be aware of any issues but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

@janismo Yes I know about that sign and am discussing it with one of the core mods.

@BlueInkAlchemist I have actually just finished upgrading the plugin to work with WP 3.1 and have it running on BP 1.3 trunk and it looks to be ok but I’ll need to contact Rich! about updating the repo version.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Try it and see? It is unlikely to and it is not being supported by the author so it needs someone to come along and update the plugin to work with WP 3.*
