@djpaul
Where are you calling it? from my desk, calling loudly towards the monitor but it doesn’t work.

Can’t be removing it before it’s been called can it? calling it in functions.php child theme and cycled through various priorities from your ’11’ down and up as it’s simply a remove_action() I expected it to work without issue, what am I missing then about functions.php loading order? However I prefer the approach to de-registering rather than leaving registered but simply not adding.

I don’t know if this is where I need to be posting this. i’m having two issues with the avatar page in registration.

1. when I upload and crop an avatar, it doesn’t “take”; I end up with the default (mystery man) avatar. But I can re-upload and crop via MyProfile>ChangeAvatar, and the avatar then is saved. Not sure, after skimming all posts in this discussion, how to deal with this.

2. more importantly to me, from a user standpoint, is the lack of direction from the avatar page. When first arriving, I’m told “we’ve fetched an avatar for your new account…” but there’s no means of actually accepting that avatar. My only options are “Choose File” and “Upload Image”. As a user, I am FORCED to upload an image (which, from #1, is then lost anyway). If I do upload an image, I am then returned to the same avatar page with the default (mystery man) avatar and the same two options (Choose File and Upload Image).

Some help establishing a simple “accept this avatar” button would be appreciated.

I’m using most current BuddyPress 1.2.8 with WP3.1.2.

Thanks

BP is a plugin that creates its own metadata and db tables to store that data. So, deleting a user via the WP backend simply removes the user from being associated with your site. But it does not delete BP metadata associated with that same user in the BP part of things.

For all user metadata to be deleted from BP tables, you must delete the user via the “Delete [username]” link in the “Admin Options” menu that appears in the adminbar when visiting the user’s profile. I just deleted a test user from my sandbox and watched as all activity items disappeared.

If you do it in widgets, you could use something like widget_logic() and then check for something like `if(bp_is_group_home())`

These type of template tags can be found in /bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php so you can narrow it down as you need

@rsib2000 Could this jquery conflict only show up in certain OS’s? I’m having no problems cropping or updating my avatar (Win 7, Chrome 11.0.696.68/IE8/FF4.0.1), but folks with OSX (they’ve tried it with FF, Chrome, and Safari) can’t. From what I know of js, this shouldn’t be an issue. Any insights?

@DJPaul just like you to confirm that remove_action doesn’t work ?

Looks like you’ll have to contact the theme developer then to find out where the nav is, sorry can’t help more

@jonobradley

Open your theme’s header.php (or equivalent) and find the code for your main navigation. In your theme, you’ll find it in div id="nav_row". There’s probably a call to wp_nav_menus there. Add the following before the closing ul tag (should work 😉 )

Hope this helps 🙂

If you are on a $5/month hosting account, pretty much anything you do will eventually be slow.

I believe you’ll have to use a customized language file.

Read this article:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

Your language files are currently suffixed with “WyoDLC”. Try using “en_US” or whatever your WordPress locale is.

If you want to keep your language files with the suffix “WyoDLC”, use this snippet in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:
`define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘WyoDLC’ );
if ( file_exists( WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ );
}
`

Also make sure to rename your languages directory back to /wp-content/languages/.

If this still doesn’t work, try regenerating your .po and .mo or post about the “weirdness” you’re experiencing.

its biofuelsdigest.com/digestgroup/members – so there’s some crossover but its not the same.

Even the bbPress plugin comes with a small set of fallback template files (as a child theme of twentyten) to display forums.

I didn’t say we’d get rid of bp-default! bp-default can continue to be a parent theme. Even if we backport the simplest changes from bbPress for now like get_template_part() to BP (instead of locate_template() like Bowe mentions above), this will make things very easy to build a plugin to serve BP template files without copying them over to the WP theme (as BP Template Pack does now).

In my unreleased plugin, I created a function similar to bbp_get_template_part(), copied bp-default BP-only template files to my plugin directory and swapped out locate_template() for this new function. The plugin served BP template files. Then, combined with this, all you’d need to is create a header-buddypress.php (or footer-buddypress.php, etc.) in your WP theme to make it gel with BuddyPress.

== Everything in the forums, activity and groups folders is working fine. Anything functionality that points to the members folder redirects to the Members Directory. ==

Your http://sitename.com/BPfolder/ doesn’t happen to be actually http://sitename.com/members/ ? There’s a BP bug when you install BP in a directory with same name as one of its components, in this case members.

Hi Mercime,

WP was working fine (and is), running 3.1.2.
BP, running Version 1.2.8.

It appears that the problem is restricted to the members folder. Everything in the forums, activity and groups folders is working fine. Anything functionality that points to the members folder redirects to the Members Directory.

BP/WP versions? Was your WP working well before you installed BP?

Check your htaccess and wp-config.php files with info here – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-on-a-sub-directory-installed-wp-291/#post-36047

@cnorris23 Thank you. Cool. Saw it in dashboard running BP trunk – WP 3.2 beta 1

Hi Mercime,

WP/BP are installed in normal subdirectories.

Thanks, Jim

@jml1618 just to clarify, is your WP installed like this https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory (because this set up won’t work with BP) or is your WP/BP installed in a normal subdirectory?

I am having the same problem. I am using BP-default and deactivated all plug-ins except BuddyPress, and am getting re-directed back to the Members page when clicking on any My Account features such as accessing profile, friend requests – anything that has the format `http://sitename.com/BPfolder/members/administrator/anythingels` – also happens when I log in on a test account as an ordinary Member, not just as Administrator.

– Note that the plugin will not be updated for future versions of BuddyPress (like 1.3+) by current plugin author. Hopefully, someone will take over the plugin.
