BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I am having this same issue after updating WordPress to 3.5.1 and Buddypress to 1.6.1 last night.

When trying to upload an avatar, I get this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_create_thumbnail() in /home/site-name/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 521

But if I use a small image (150×150) it uploads with no errors. The cropping tool did seem to be a bit out of sorts, but I got it to work by playing with it a bit.

So it seems that it is related to image dimensions, presumably related to the cropping tool??

Please help!

Thanks

@thatmtnman Sorry to read that you’re still cannot get BuddyPress working in your site. Indeed, BuddyPress 1.7 has been created and tested by professional developers in as many environments as possible. If you believe there’s a bug, please feel free to post a new ticket in Trac https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Currently, none of the user locator map plugins for BP sites work. BP Members Avatar Map seemed to have the most going for it…

Seems like a perfect addition to any BuddyPress site.

Maybe someone could try to resurrect it?

@coolicious please create a ticket at http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org
include information about your installation
– from what BP version did you upgrade?
– WP version being used
– single or multisite install
– if you change to BP Default theme or Twenty Twelve theme is issue resolved?

Thanks for posting about this.

I’ve just committed a fix for this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6903

It should make its way into BP 1.7.1 once that is released.

You can probably use the Achievements plugin for this. Create three Achievements one for each type and then set them to award after X amount of activity.

gotcha not to try and make you explain why or anything since i probably wouldn’t understand the answer anyway but a LOT of wordpress sites do use JetPack i pretty much consider it a prerequisite for any site that wants traffic.

Thanks for all your hard work in the good fight against spammers and sploggers though!

You willl find hundreds of answers to this question, because what you want to customize is the wordpress 3.3+ Toolbar.
i.e here: http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2012/03/01/inside-the-wordpress-toolbar/

You’re using form actions incorrectly. The form `action` is intended to be a URL, not a PHP callback. You’ll need to add your server-side processor to a separate function, ideally in a separate file from the screen function. Something like:

`
function bbg_handle_department_join() {
if ( isset( $_POST[‘department-request-submit’] ) ) {
$submitted_departments = $_POST[‘select_departments’];
// do something with the items
}
add_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bbg_handle_department_join’ );
`

I also urge you to implement some security checks. At minimum, use a nonce as well as an appropriate `current_user_can()` check. See https://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2006/06/02/wordpress-203-nonces/ for a primer on nonces in WordPress.

I had a similar problem when I upgraded yesterday.

Does this in your functions.php or bp-custom.php help?

`add_action(‘get_header’, ‘my_filter_head’);

function my_filter_head() {
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘_admin_bar_bump_cb’);
}`

Why it wasn’t a problem before is another question….

I noticed the henrywright-1 – it hasn’t always been this way. I’m not 100% sure but I think the user database from wordpress.com and wordpress.org was merged with me taking the “-1” username. That is no better than a guess but I can’t think how else the -1 was appended

To help with your problem – if you log into the wordpress dashboard (wp-admin), go to Users > All users. You should see a list of every user that has signed up via BuddyPress. You can perform delete actions on the users you’d like to remove.

You do not need the template pack plugin anymore. If your getting duplicate activity post then its still not displaying properly. Contact the theme author and request they restructure the theme based on WordPress template structures. They need to adhere to the standards of how WordPress themes are created for theme compatibility to work properly. If not I suggest finding a new theme that adheres to standard WordPress template hierarchy.
