Hello,
I use BP 2.4.3 with my own theme that I made from scratch. Everything seems to work fine, except the cover Image function. When I upload a picture I recieve a error message, that reads: For better results, make sure to upload an image that is larger than 0px wide, and 225px tall. And because the with is 0 no picture is seen.
To encircle the problem I switched over to the bp-default theme that vame with the pugin. There is noch cover upload option at all. I then switched over to the twentyfifteen (all themes are provided with the same additional buddypress files of course). I seen the function and the already uploaded image (that I uploaded from my own theme) in a perfect manner.
So, I’m pretty sure that the theme locks or unlocks this function. But I can’t figure out what the diffrences are that unlocks this function in my theme.
It would bee cool if someone had the same problems and also the solution.
Best wishes
Holger
In that case @fried_eggz, can you open a ticket for this on Trac?
@mercime didn’t realize those were done with buddypress thanks for sharing that fact 🙂
Suggestions in this post MAY be of some help.
I only say MAY because the user base is shared – once a user visits another network that user is added to the Members of that network.
However each network can have absolutely completely separate Activity Streams, Groups, Forums, and sites/blogs as well as separate plugin and theme structures.
I fully understand that this may not not be exactly what you are looking for but it certainly is a very good start.
Yes @henrywright, the settings are correct.
Steps to repeoduce:
- Install vanilla WordPress 4.4
- Install vanilla BuddyPress 2.4.3
- Use default theme
- Post a status update
- Create a new user
- Log in as new user
- Comment on status
Just to be clear, I’m talking about notifications in WordPress toolbar. Have not checked if email notifications work since I’m on localhost.
@henrywright yes I will add it to trac later today when I have some spare time, there is no need for me to test on the default themes again as it will be the 100th time or more I have tested this over and over and over and over and yes you guessed it over again! for the past 2 years 🙂
It happens on every single theme that you use Buddypress on, it has never worked as I think it was intended to, its probably been completely overlooked and always has. If you test every version back to Buddypress 1.7 you will find the same issue in every single version of Buddypress up until the most recent, I havent gone further back than 1.7 so if it ever did work it was pre 1.7.
@mcpeanut I’m unable to test right now but can you give this a try on Twenty Fifteen or Twenty Sixteen and if the problem persists, would you mind opening a Trac ticket for this? Copying and pasting some of what you’ve wrote already should be fine.
The core devs might not see this forum topic.
Ref: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
That is wierd. It says here that this is core functionaliity: buddypress.org/about/notifications/
By default, notifications are created as soon as one of the following things happen:
Activity
- A member mentions you in an update @username”
- A member replies to an update or comment you’ve posted
- …
@ubernaut , Yer maybe your right about adding it to trac directly for attention I think I will wait until morning as its so late and I need sleep, maybe in the mean-time @henrywright could take another read of this as he commented on my original thread over a year ago, but I gave up explaining as no-one was quite seeing what i was getting at back then.
Ok, fair enough no-one is noticing the problem that this could cause yet because it seems most Buddypress sites just are not active enough to realise this yet for themselves, but I can guarentee that if a few Buddypress websites started to get really popular and used by masses of people this would become a real big issue when it comes to popular activity posts because these posts would just scroll on forever in the sitewide activity.
Not that I am aware, this is not a recent thing @ubernaut, it is something I have mentioned a few times over the years, this has been happening since I started using Buddypress well over 2 years ago (probs 3 years), The reason I haven’t added a trac ticket is because of how descriptive I have to be when explaining the issue, it may be better that a few mods confirm it and add the ticket to make it easier to explain, I felt like I had to write a story about it above just to explain the issue correctly and make it understandable.
This is why I keep mentioning feeling baffled as to why after a couple of years no-one else has spotted this??? Maybe its because most websites that use Buddypress don’t often receive more than 5 comments on an activity huh? who knows.
I don’t think there is a core functionality to accomplish this. I’ve been using this plugin to serve up those notifications with good results:
BuddyPress Activity Comment Notifier
@dopeboy What shanebp said. BuddyPress powers the 8.1 Million ++ user profiles at WordPress.org https://profiles.wordpress.org/dopeboy
Thanks @henrywright
I have the Divi Theme activated.
WP 4.4
latest BP 188
about 18 plugins activated.
I deactivated all the plugins.
Cropping worked.
Reactivated each one by one.
Cropping still worked.
All of them!
Then I refresh the page on the group avatar editing page and bam, not working again.
wtf I dont get it?
Also Im using a plugin called Buddypress Docs its like a Wiki plugin and the Visual editor doesnt work now in it just the text editor. Maybe thats related?>
Is there a way to easily get a list of plugins I’m using to show you/others?
@nattlyharris Required JS enqueued by BP including jquery.Jcrop.min.js are missing from source code caused possibly by a plugin. I think one culprit is the bj-lazy-load plugin but to be sure, deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and check if you can crop the avatar. Then activate plugins one by one to see which is/are causing the issue.
Edit – took too long to answer. didn’t know henry already posted.
@ldesherl I just see an error on your home page right now with the TGM plugin. Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress. Change to a WP Default Twenty-* theme then activate BuddyPress.
P.S. For forums, install bbPress which works very well with BuddyPress
Thanks for participating in this issue Nat!
I hope someone from the Buddypress Core group responds and fixes this issue soon.
May be this can happen if buddypress stores values of subsite id alongside every time a creation of group and user and activity happens, so that it can filter easily when in multisite mode. 🙂
This way people don’t have to segregate and those who had to segregate, shouldn’t cry later because they cannot undo it easily later in the future. 🙂
Like WP, BuddyPress can scale to millions of users – IF – you provide the necessary server resources.
I saw that there was a very similar problem on this link, but no final solution to it:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/use-standard-wordpress-registration/
when I remove the second snippet I still end up with an empty page with /register ending URL
Hi,
basically, you can call the what’s new template part by using
bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' ); see doc here.
Or try this plugin after you created a widget area on your homepage (so it will only display on that page):
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget
Thanks for the reply
I have asked the person to check out the snippets but he did not know what to do at all, that’s why I came to ask here about the problem …. anyway I tried to remove the code added by unsalkorkmaz, I don’t have the error page, but it opens the (register) page by BuddyPress and nothing appears inside it. So still no advance in the problem
Create a template overload of this file and remove that code:
buddypress\bp-themes\bp-default\groups\index.php
Correction: This is wrong – see below.
