@gnetworkau making it easier in BP 1.7 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4527

This new cropping “feature” was introduced with the release of WordPress 3.5, and what you need to do, at least what we’ve found that kind of works, is to drag that little black square with the white outline outside of the avatar entirely and then line up your cursor as close to one of the corners of the avatar as you can and then drag it across. It won’t be perfect, and it will degrade the avatar image quality somewhat (no matter what you do), but it will then work as best as can be expected.

Oh how we miss the old way, just mere weeks ago, with how the cropping feature worked. It was quick and perfect, but not so anymore. Perhaps it does work perfectly for some folks, but not for us, and obviously not for you either.

Hope this tip helps!

What version of WordPress + BuddyPress are you using?

This sounds like a bbPress bug; if you could report it to http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org, using your username and password from this site, and linking back to this discussion, the bbPress team can investigate it; it looks like a genuine yet uncommon problem.

Yup, it was reported in the plugin’s forums https://wordpress.org/support/topic/v35-throws-up-error-messages?replies=1 Best person to fix this is the author of the plugin.

There’s a premium plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-auto-activate-auto-login/ or you could try to update an old plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-disable-activation/

forum walls

Are you referring to the Group Forums or Sitewide Forums? There’s no plugin that does this for Group Forums. For bbPress Sitewide Forums -> https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

I (myself) wanted to have my 5 websites in the multisite. 1 main site (BuddyPress) + 4 sub-sites Just WordPress (Not BuddyPress). I don’t offer sites to members.

Then why didn’t you continue with that?, you don’t have to offer sites to members. Why did you try what is really ill advised once you have a production site running – unless you have  experience of these matters.

The backup size is because that is a server backup, and I would guess being done in the same fashion as a control panel backups, including the zipped backup probably, is that a normal size? hard to say, it’s large but those types of backups often are being designed to restore  more than just your site.

If I were you I would probably leave well enough alone and just disable anyone can regieter a site. and keep yours, if not then follow exactly the advice given on WP forum and by mercime.

Deleted your duplicated post.

For courseware issues, please post in plugin’s forums https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-courseware

Marking this topic re installing BuddyPress as resolved.

This topic is three years old; I shouldn’t need to tell you how much has changed in BuddyPress and WordPress since then. Please make your own, new, post, and provide more details about your problem.

Have you updated WordPress to 3.5? If so, you’ll need to update BuddyPress to 1.6.2, and this error will clear.
