The first time I tried to upload a photo as an avatar:
The name of file I selected was barely visible before I uploaded it. This was a minor annoyance as that the theme background was in back and the text shows up black. All the rest of my text is white.
Once uploaded, it requires cropping of the photo. However, no matter how I crop it, it shows up bigger in the avatar and so indistinguishable as a photo.
I deleted my uploaded avatar and tried to upload a smaller version of the photo but it won’t even accept this one. It never says anything about any sort of error.
Are you looking at the Network Admin screens? top right menu bar.
Erm you could really do with explaining just what issue you are having with avatars as logging into a site to troubleshoot issues starts to become somewhat of a service and mustn’t be taken for granted – if it’s an avatar upload denied error then likely your server user/groups are not correct on your server, the process that needs to own the files isn’t allowed to and this needs to be resolved at the server level.
Almost verging on a NSFW site
I had the same issue, and as you’ve realised it’s the username that’s the problem. Not sure if it corrects itself with future version releases but have a feeling not.
@DJPaul fixed mine up he might be able to do the same for you or perhaps @boonebgorges can.
@Twistedangels what hnla said.
Create an ordinary demo member account – post username and password here
Making a theme compatible with BP isn’t I’m afraid a one click process and there are some manual steps that must be undertaken and that do require a little coding knowledge – although not much.
These two pages in the BP codex will help you, the second probably the best one to read through fisrt.
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
If you haven’t already performed the extra manual steps outlined in these pages you will need to have a go and if you get stuck post back with where you’ve got to and someone will help out.
I’m having an issue with this as well. My plugin, https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-tweet-urls/ displays Andy as the contributor. I originally posted my plugin with my name instead of username, but fixed it. Will the problem fix itself when i release a future version with my correct username?
The site is http://www.twistedangels.net and even though it’s a subscription-based site I can allow any person assisting me have free access.
@Pisanojm: writing it now.. as promised!
@bowromir ..very excited to see what you come up with for a cdn for avatars today!
I’ve create a sudir “community” on my sub site of my main WordPress multi blog/site. I uploaded BP plugin on my server in the right folder but I don’t see the activation lable on my control panel.. why?
How can you tell if there is a javascript issue?
@embergermedia
Thanks for the useful tip..
I still would appreciate how I can enforce profile completion before web site (Buddypress) access please?
Thanks! Will check those and let you know!
I have the same problem — latest version of WP and Buddypress — crop tool does not function — only shows top left corner of my avatar image. Is this a bug?
This isn’t a BuddyPress question, but the front page of the dashboard loads up a bunch of external RSS feeds. It’s probably one of those being slow
Thanks a lot. I plan to not add them in via wp, but manually use our inhouse combine script which gzips and minifies at the same time.
Thanks again. Will let you now how it goes.
@tim , yes , if you don’t need to use original js/css, then, you don’t need to register them back
`function my_jscss_remover() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘the-handle-name’ );
//and others;
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_jscss_remover’ );`
You can find the “the-handle-name” in the plugin’s files at the line when it load the js/css, it normally use wp_enqueue_script , or wp_enqueue_styles, to load js/css. Sometimes they can also use reqire function, but as long as you find the specific file.js , that’s the line.
When you register your own js, the final parameter “true” means put it in footer. If your js require to run before the page finish loading, you don’t need this “true”.
You can also add like this: if bp_is_page(‘xyz’), then, the js will be loaded only on the page you need.
Please remember that, at this point, your js/css are not minified yet.
@imjscn: that looks great. I would actually be using a custom combine script, that I would place outside of the Wp functions. ie hard code the combine in either header or footer.
I assume then that I would only need to deregister css and js, and not do the enqueue bit. Is this right?
if so, what would the amended snippet look like please?
@gunju2221 thanks for the response. I almost forgot I do have a plugin in place that is supposed to handle logout redirects, when the logout works I do get taken to the homepage. But like I said, sometimes it is the case where it still appears as though I’m logged in because I can see my avatar and username.
I just wish I could find something that just logged in and logged out with ease!
As far as I can understand, the topic starter must be the blog ownner or authors. IntenseDebate works in the commenting system only. Is the correct? Does it provide a way to enable users or guests initiate a post?
To see what can be done in an evening with BuddyBuilder check out my site which is still under construction.
I have to be honest, I’ve looked at all of the themes available for BuddyPress, and BuddyBuilder is IMO superior to all of them. The amount of creativity it allows you is staggering. It makes sense to call it a theme framework, because it is really something you can build upon without no coding knowledge whatsoever.
