to be honest, i really cant be doing with all this constant upgrading, changing this and checking that, its all becoming a headache. still.. you get what you pay for i suppose so its swings and roundabouts as they say. Annoys me that you put something cool together for people to connect and all they wanna do is critisize it and tear it apart. some people eh?

[dude]

thanks for the reply guys! chances are i been hacked then coz the admin on my site was changed too plus this user has registered with dozens of fake accounts even though verifcation hasnt been approved

[dude]

for some reason i cant create a fresh topic?

can anyone help me with this problem..

my site has a problem with someone using around 3 googlemail email addresses to keep registering on my buddypress powered website to the point where their details have remained enscribed on my sites registry form..

is there a way to get rid of this please..?

many thanks in advance

[dude]

At last !! got it working properly

was worth the work coz it’s a fab plugin for sure

I basically had to strip my child theme down to the bare necessities but without compromising too much, off to give it the 5 stars it thoroughly deserves.

Brilliant work by all those involved with this, so glad it’s been resurrected too, you’ve no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this lol

Thanks gang

[dude]

well thats all my edits out of the bp-default and yup no joy

so back to plugin conflict land and robbing Peter to pay Paul again lol

@modemlooper, you’re obviously an ‘experienced’ member of this community, if I were to put my plugins list up here for you to view, do you think it would be possible to work out which plugins could be clashing at all..?

No harm in trying right..?

Well heres the list anyway:

bp-phototag
buddypress
buddypress-group-documents
buddypress-profile-privacy
dashboard-commander
display-widgets
mail-from
si-contact-form
wp-banners-lite
wp-mail-smtp

[dude]

I haven’t really changed much about the default apart from the odd tweak here and there.

So might be an idea to take these edits out and see what happens, it’s a hunch but I got a feeling the bp-custom.php I added recently is causing probs.

The second custom I tried to squeeze in there broke the site twice, so could be the culprit? it’s the tweak to send peeps to your profile instead of activity – might be linked ?

[dude]

okay so not a problem then!

I deleted the child theme home.php as suggested, but still the same problem..should I try deleting and re-installing the plugin perhaps..?

[dude]

I’m currently using this one, and it’s fab !!!

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-banners-lite/

[dude]

should I keep the home.php in the plugin itself intact ?

or should I delete after copying it’s contents into bp-default home.php ?

[dude]

I deleted the child theme home.php, still the same problem..should I try deleting and re-installing the plugin perhaps..?

[dude]

yes it is

I didn’t go for the first update with the profile.php

I waited for the most recent home.php update

I over-wrote the home.php with the plugins in both Bp-default and my child theme.

Might be worth noting too that when I tried over-writing my child-theme’s home.php the settings privacy component didn’t show on the profiles – so tried bp-default’s and the settings showed..strange ?

I’m a pain in the ass I know but I appreciate your work so far man, just wish this would work then I can probably put editing to bed for a while as ALL my main tweaks are 99% done !

The minor alterations I can live with for a while lol

[dude]

okay reverted back to the default and still the same issue

If I sign in as Admin and view a non-friend profile that has checked the privacy settings I get the message ‘you must be friends with this user to view their profile’ all is good, but..

If I sign in as a member and go to a friends profile – again that has their privacy settings checked I cannot see any of their profile fields – plus there is nothing on display in terms of the above notice – you must be friends blah blah

I got rid of ALL walled-garden edits and still the issue persists dude

The trouble is in total I’m running 10 plugins

I’ve stripped my plugins down to the bone and even sacrificed a couple that I ‘want’ more than ‘need’ if you know what I mean, so can’t afford to lose anymore or major functions on the site will be sorely missed.

Is it at all possible that this issue with the privacy plugin is ringing any other ‘alarm bells’ apart from plugin conflict..?

[dude]

Bumping this sorry but this Privacy plugin is way up there on the priority plugin must-haves
and my site members profiles are open and vulnerable without this functioning

I refer to the earlier post:

” I got it to work but when logged in as admin it’s okay as in viewing a non-friend member

However, if I log in as a member, I cannot view the activity, profile, friends, groups etc of another members profile even when we are friends..?

strange – I tried deleting then re-installing but still the same problem occurs.

If it’s any consolation I have a few ‘walled garden style’ code edits on members profiles, groups, forum directories so maybe theres a clash perhaps..?”.

Thanks in advance

[dude]

** update **

tried deleting the walled garden edit (for profile viewing) and running the plugin – no change I’m afraid

[dude]

Aces you are the man !!!

I bit the bullet and gambled and it paid off

Now I just need to re-arrange my banner because it’s playing peekaboo lol

many many thanks for your input, not to mention your patience on this edit sir

[dude]

oh right, I already have a home.php in my child theme!

it’s currently using an edit to restrict non logged in members from viewing profiles from the outside..will this clash with the updated plugin at all..?

[dude]

The code to edit the default profile.php is in the plugin right?

so If I’m having trouble copying the plugins profile.php to bp-defaults members/single/
I basically copy the plugins code and paste it into the existing profile.php file then?
I tried doing this and it overlapped the existing code so didn’t wanna screw things up
Am I doing something wrong?

[dude]

okay great thanks

fingers crossed

[dude]

Oh right, sorry at first glance it threw me, I thought it meant make a unique name for my child themes function.php and didn’t realize it meant the code within.

So to clarify would it be correct to call it: function register_my child theme name_menus ?

or: function register_name of secondary location_menus ? for example: if I call my secondary menu – ‘logged out’ etc

[dude]

sorry could you possibly elaborate ?

what should I name the child theme functions.php?

for example – my-theme-name-functions.php..

[dude]

I’ve just come across this about creating a functions.php for my child theme taken from here –> https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

” You must make sure you give your child theme functions a unique name, otherwise they will clash with the parent.”

Is this correct..?

[dude]

Hi chaps, can this plugin work out of the box yet, this code edit to get it to work is giving me grief

should I de-activate it and wait for an update?

[dude]

sorry yep thats where i put the bp-custom.php

tried it again this time I got a blank screen and cant login to the site now

another site break – I’ve really gotta get a test site done

[dude]

oh right so this is the way to add my own secondary menu !! great

sorry to be a pain aces, is there any particular place to nest this..? or am I deleting / replacing existing code..?

I haven’t copied a functions.php file to my child theme yet..I guess I should do this first and make the edits in there right !
