reset? what exactly do you mean? I trust you’re not going to tell us you edited the default styles directly are you? if you did, then rename your adjusted files to default-custom.css and copy a fresh set of default files in from a new download, then you can remove them afterwards and revert back to your custom files.

Later you will want to create a child theme so reverting can be done by changing themes in the backend.

Just because you see the script calls in the header doesn’t mean there isn’t a conflict happening somewhere, so that possible issue is not ruled out!

I would love to see that page in it’s default state without the custom styling, just to confirm that your styles are not managing to mask the image in some way, but from here it’s not possible for me to view things working live.

looks like a child theme to me, is it yours? in other words are you responsible for the customisations, in which case you know that nothing vital has been altered or left out.

What portion / section of the uploaded image is saved given that you say you haven’t got the crop window whay area does get saved.

This has to almost certainly be a JS issue, with JS disabled the whole mechanism handles pretty badly, and really needs flagging as something to look at one day.

Are you running a custom theme or default theme? if a custom one have you tried running bp-default and seeing if the issue still occurs.

Not sure what that SC represents, but if that is your upload view then clearly you’re not running the default theme? if that is actually the image, not sure what to suggest.

@Frosty8o It sounds like you have a problem specific to your install, I can upload and crop without issue on a Modded 1.2.6 / 3.0.1 and with quite a few plugins running.

As Paul has asked check that there are no JS errors reported.

Also clarify “avatar upload works” you can upload an image and see it sitting there on screen awaiting cropping and/or saving?

@whitbyglennk
There is no WP ethos of free software for all. With all the licensing discussions going on, most people have completely misunderstood what it was all about. Free (as in the GPL software license) only means that any further development of GPL software has to be published under the same license (if the software is being released) and that, once you have the software, you can do whatever you please with it. Free does not mean, though, that you can get access to this software without paying. It’s perfectly ok to charge for GPL software.

Most developers, who charge for a plugin or premium themes, still give back to the community by answering questions in forums or uploading other plugins and themes to the WP repository. For some plugins 50+ hours have been spent on development. That’s a lot of money and time right there, but people still expect not to pay anything.

I guess we’ll be seeing more and more paid plugins and themes crop up over the next year. It’s not a bad thing, it’ll give users more choice (there usually is a free alternative around somewhere) and if someone buys a plugin/theme, then afterwards you can expect great support, which does not always happen with a free plugin.

Just me 2 cents

Groups or members avatar cropping? What plugins do you have running? Do you know how to check your web browser for any javascript errors?

I’m having a similar problem. When I register a new user it doesn’t always recognize the avatar. Further, when you upload your own image you can crop it but then it won’t upload. It just says “Upload Failed! Error was: No file was uploaded.”

Ok, just found a number of discussions on related isues: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/avatar-problems-upload-failed-cannot-move-to-upload-folder/
and https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/avatar-upload-issues/

Why can’t you access admin is more to the point, what exactly is happening. You do not need to remove BP plugin simply rename it which has the effect of breaking or un-setting the activation.

If you have tried solutions it is insufficient to state you have that is meaningless, please make the effort to describe accurately what the issue is, what steps you have taken to try and resolve the issue.

Lastly issues like the one you allude to tend to crop up on a daily basis please be sure to have searched quite thoroughly for a solution in past threads as generally you will find the resolution already described.

@amattajm directions are in the readme file.

******How to set up featured posts*****

To show a featured post place it into a category ‘featured’

To show an post in the midbar column place it into a category ‘breaking’

******How to set up custom front page*****

Create a page called home and choose ‘Widget Home Page’ as the page template. Then in admin >> reading choose your created home page as the static front page.

The custom front page shows one featured post and four thumbs of the latest posts. The midbar shows two ‘breaking’ posts. The rest of the front page is made up from widgets.

To show a thumbnail on the front page posts just set an image as a featured image. Thumbnails are automatically cropped. To create exact thumbnails use the sizes listed below

Thumbnail sizes:

featured 405×175
midbar: 150×150
sub content: 190×100

******How to set up custom front page widgets*****

Widget areas include the sidebar that is a site wide column. The midbar, only on the front page. The bottom left column under the latest posts.

******How to set up sidebar ad space*****

Add your 300×250 ad code to sidebar.php file.

I have this same problem!
