My pleasure thanks here it is. I approve members so I’ll look out for you. http://clandestinecakeclub.co.uk

Hi again, I just want to add that I have just updated to the latest BP and the missing toolbar problem is still there, along with a few other things as well for new users. such as friends not being listed when they want to invite them to join newly created groups, not sure how long this has been going on, but definitely before the later BP update.

Hi Dyer,

I’ve just deactivated the User Role plugin and the problem is still there, no toolbar for new users. This is the link to the plugin that I’m using. http://shinephp.com/user-role-editor-wordpress-plugin/

Default setting is for all new users to be set as a subscriber.

Many thanks

Lynn

Oops. Trying again:

/**
* In WP 3.5+, get_blogs_of_user() is much slower than in previous versions. As
* a result, if you have a certain number of blogs, running get_blogs_of_user()
* will create a memory timeout. This is a particular problem because
* get_blogs_of_user() is called on every page, because of the toolbar.
*
* Ideally, there would be a way to short-circuit get_blogs_of_user(), or even
* to prevent WordPress from calling get_blogs_of_user() while loading the
* toolbar. But there is not. As a workaround, this function intercepts a key
* step in get_blogs_of_user() – the get_user_meta() call that gets all of a
* user’s metadata. If we determine that this request is coming from
* get_blogs_of_user() (which we do by examining the debug_backtrace(), a truly
* awful technique), AND that it’s one of the generic meta queries used by
* get_blogs_of_user(), AND that the current user has more than 75 blogs, THEN
* we strip all of the blog capability keys from the array of metadata,
* tricking get_blogs_of_user() into thinking that the current user has no
* blogs at all.

Great. Someone hacked into the site and removed the Dashboard toolbar at the top of the site. I’m thinking ning may not be such a bad option after all.

Hi JJJ,

After a bunch of troubleshooting on plugins, I found that it was the Events Calendar Pro plugin that had a WP 3.5 issue. So the mystery of no WP Toolbar, and the lack of ability for users to post to Activity, Groups etc is now solved once I disabled the plugin.

Thank you so much for your patience on this. You are a great resource for WP, BP, and bbPress, and I appreciate what you do!

Hi JJJ,

Hmmmm…
This is my first BP site so please forgive the seemingly ignorant statements and questions 🙂

I thought that BP created the Member role when it was first installed?
It is possible that another plugin I use did, but I’m not sure…
I definitely did not add_role for Member myself…
So you are saying that BP never created a ‘Member’ role at any time (i.e. it is not a default role for BP)?

I just tested on the site. In addition to to not being able to see the WP Toolbar, the users with Role = ‘No role for this site’ cannot post activity, etc in BP (as I guessed since they have no Capabilities.

Hi JJJ,

That sort of makes sense, but why is it that every upgrade of Buddypress 1.5.X and bbPress 2.X I’ve had until now left the Member role there?

It’s only this last upgrade from BuddyPress 1.5.7 to 1.6.2 that the role disappeared…

If what you say is true and I don’t need the Member role, I still have a problem now because every User that was Member role is now assigned to NO role at all.
I believe that this is causing an issue with displaying the WP Toolbar, which does not show up for any of the ‘No Role’ users. Not having the WP Toolbar with the Buddypress menus is not desirable because the user cannot access the BP menus from the WP Toolbar, as they normally would.
Also, I haven’t tested yet to see if the ‘No Role’ users can add to BP Activity, Groups, etc. I need to test that.

So what would you recommend? Me creating a custom role for Member? If so, I would have to have the correct capabilities to make the BP stuff work?

Thanks for your help on this.

Mmmmm, maybe I didn’t explain myself the right way.

My website http://elanillounico.com has a menu on top right corner.

TU CUENTA means “your account” and the idea is that it should go to http://elanillounico.com/usuarios/USER/profile

The problem is I do not know how to get the variable USER for making that menu option go to the self-user profile.

Obviously if user is not logged in, it must go to login page.

It’s quite strange that there is not like a menu preset for this as I can add wordpress pages, personalized links, and even some plugins add another box with menu options you can add to your own menu, but there’s not any for buddypress?

I do not want to use WordPress toolbar, I have removed it. Buddypress allows users to edit their profile within the website without entering dashboard. How can I add a dynamic link to their own profile?

thanks!

hope I explained myself better this time 😉

update: reinstalled wp 3.5 and bp 1.6.2 and all is well with default bp template, accessing setup pages, registering via the top toolbar, accessing the forum, etc.

But I am now back to square one with the wp meta widget ‘register’ link where it takes me to myprimarysite.com/blogs/create, not myprimarysite.com/register link, like it should. I verified the pages setup in bp, saved it again to be sure, still the same issue. And on the primary site the meta register link goes to the correct form. On all sites the top toolbar register and log in links work just fine.

To others: If you are experiencing a similar situation like I started with, verify your php.ini and/or htaccess file setup in your root directory, to possibly save yourself a lot of time. Also, backup, backup and backup!! And don’t accidently delete a backup folder unless you know for sure you won’t need them anymore!
