thealchemist posted on the forum topic Converting a Theme for BP Compatibility in the group Creating & Extending: 13 years, 10 months ago

So the instructions for “automatic conversion” aren’t very thorough cuz I keep discovering pages not listed that need to be manually converted. Registration and activation pages etc. But here’s a different ? regarding customization. I am trying to get the member profile/login section into the sidebar.…[Read more]

@pcwriter … Actually, the post may be old, but I just posted the other day … so thanks for your fast response! And, yes, @mercime is correct – we now learn more and can use the plugin more effectively.

I have an even more basic problem at the moment … I can’t get the registration page to work.

Every time you click on it you get redirected to the home page. Have I simply missed something in the configuration? Sample at xtreme.transmutationsciences.com

I was too anxious to wait for other peeps samples for the use of ScholarPress so I’ve gone ahead and created a whole new site to make use of this plugin.

However, I am discovering a number of spelling and grammar errors … to whom should I report these so they can be fixed?

Yes. I am now a complete convert to the WP / BP system and have decided to convert a site I’ve had working fine and bringing in the BP component for the extra community elements. I am using a theme from WooThemes and have – after an hour – figured out how to restructure the […]

thealchemist posted on the forum topic Paid membership and subscription plugins in the group Third Party Components & Plugins: 13 years, 10 months ago

So, I am using WishList Member which is a fantastic membership management plugin for WordPress. It’s been working wonderfully for my online course; but being a recent BP convert and seeing a cool BP plugin, ScholarPress, I thought I’d convert the site to a WP/BP site with the added functions in BP. I’m not certain […]

thealchemist started the forum topic Achievement Notification Won't Go Away in the group Achievements: 13 years, 10 months ago

This is a weird little thing … I have a member to whom I gave an achievement but the achievement notification won’t go away … it just stays listed in the “Notifications” of the member admin bar.

Its no big deal but …

thealchemist posted on the forum topic User called zhanglingjuan114 possible spambot? in the group Miscellaneous: 13 years, 10 months ago

@arezki … so … does this plugin block attempts to sign up? How does it determine if something should be blocked? I looked at the plugin file on WP.org and it isn’t very specific. I can go into my server cpanel and block IPs all day long and I still get tons of spambots. I get […]

thealchemist posted on the forum topic BuddyStream 1.0.3.1 Feedback in the group BuddyStream: 13 years, 10 months ago

OMFG. So, If I read this correctly, BuddyStream’s (that didn’t work for me so I deleted it) cronjob is creating the 2,834 import.php (and growing) in my root folder?

Thus if I stop the cron job I’ll stop getting these files and I can delete them?

I am using WP 3.0.4 MultiSite with BuddyPress.

thealchemist started the forum topic OMG! I Have Hundreds of import.php.### Files! in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 10 months ago

I have a WP MultiSite w/BuddyPress site (current versions) that has been live since 12/25 and over 200 members. I am using PhotoSmash for the main gallery and cincopa for private, profile-based galleries. I have been watching my server fill up with hundreds – if not thousands of files – growing in my root folder! […]

thealchemist started the forum topic Members Page – Back and Next … in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 10 months ago

So, a member was wondering why, when viewing the members list, we can’t use the back and next buttons in the browser. So I thought I’d ask. I’m assuming that the member list really isn’t 12 individual pages but one long list and I’m thinking there’s no real way to change this. Am I correct? […]

thealchemist posted on the forum topic fullname vs username vs first + last name… in the group Requests & Feedback: 13 years, 10 months ago

me. I think its confusing that when you are viewing the activity stream you see a name. if you want to do an @ in a reply, you have to go to the person’s profile to find their @name and then back to where you were to leave the reply/comment. Anyway ideas to work a way […]

thealchemist started the forum topic Points. Points. Who's Got the Points? in the group Achievements: 13 years, 10 months ago

It was suggested – in response to another question I had regarding points – that I create an achievement with NEGATIVE points. So, I did. But then I realized that when I visit a profile and click the “Achievements” link I see the member’s list of achievements but not the points accumulation. Might I request […]

thealchemist started the forum topic Specific Feature Request: LogIn Achievement in the group Achievements: 13 years, 10 months ago

I have a client that wants a “Log In Achievement” … users receive an Achievement for ## of logins. What they’ve REALLY asked for is to have a # show up next to their name showing the number of logins, but I’ve convinced them to use Achievements. Amazingly (unless I totally missed it) there isn’t […]

thealchemist posted on the forum topic What to Do with Points? (Feature Request?) in the group Achievements: 13 years, 11 months ago

@thetrose @nexia and @techguy … thanks for all of the great suggestions! The one that is within my skill set would be thetrose’s suggestions of a negative reward … I’m going to go try that right now! I’ll let you know how it works out!
