ok figured what I could do, unfortunately almost all the plugins are useless now. some of theme like private buddypress is key, is there a way to keep profile pages offlimits to non-registered users?
My main question is this, I can set the media embed max width in the admin panel, and I can set in wp-config define(‘BPFB_OEMBED_WIDTH’, 200, true);
but videos still embed at full size, which means, that on the mobile site, using bp mobile, the video runs off the edge of people’s touchscreens. that’s it, I know no other way to have a safe transition to the new bp, which will should be called, due to all the changes, 2.0
that should be about it, I figured that i have to completely rebuild the site, once I have the compatible plugins set, I will update the ones on the remote server and remove the ones which don’t work, move my theme and hope to god I don’t loose my 400+ registered members….uggh
Actually I stumbled across this question while spending several hours last night looking for the answer on the infamous Group Avatar step error message, after seeing there were as many different answers as there were questions, and not finding the solution (and doing what each answer suggested), I decided not to fight it. I don’t know if your question stems from this type of error or simply you’ve come to realize the group is created after the first step (as you said), but rather than using php or a core hack,etc, etc, I just removed the upload buttons and text of the avatar step using CSS, essentially users who create the group will consider it a default avatar, not get thrown off by an error message and click through the process; they then do any editing afterwords. Editing the avatar after the fact doesn’t throw any errors as it does when creating the group.
In my case, I know it’s a child theme problem and having a static home page, even though I followed the buddypress docs to a t. Didn’t want to give up the home page for the buddypress default, so that was my solution. it’s fairly painless and works.
