Hi Mo,

There doesn’t appear to be a way to upload documents through BuddyPress Docs.

If the MS Word document is simple enough, maybe copy the contents of the Word doc into the editor? Or use another plugin that has a group files feature.

The MLAA has a fork of an older plugin, BuddyPress Group Documents, that you could try:
https://github.com/mlaa/bp-group-documents

An alternative is uploading the document to a 3rd-party service like Dropbox or Google Drive and pasting the link into the group document.

Hi Paul,

We’re doing some internal compatibility testing with bbPress since that’s a major upgrade. You should be okay to update to BuddyPress 5.1.2 though since the changes in BP shouldn’t be that disruptive.

We don’t have a set date for a release yet, but I’ll update this thread when we’re about to go through that process.

Hi Daniel,

Are you trying to output your custom fields in a template somewhere?

If so, you should be able to use the BuddyPress Profile Fields API functions to output the specific data.

For example, xprofile_get_field_data() might be the function that you are looking for. Let’s say I created a profile field called “Website” and I want to output the data for the “Website” field for the displayed user.

I could do this:
$url = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Website', bp_displayed_user_id() );

If you want to get the data for a specific user, change bp_displayed_user_id() to the user ID in question.

Hope that helps.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the report.

Can you tell me what version of CBOX Theme you are using? You can find the version by navigating to the WP admin dashboard and clicking on the “Appearance > Themes” page, followed by “Commons In A Box”.

The current version should be 1.1.2. If you are not running that version, please update CBOX whenever you have the chance.

Hi Paul,

BuddyPress doesn’t handle the forum functionality in CBOX, the bbPress plugin does. I know the two plugins are similarly named; other people have had the same problem making the distinction as well!

Anyway, if you have the Akismet plugin activated, you might want to try disabling Akismet support for forums under “Settings > Forums” in the WP admin dashboard. The option should be located at the end of that page.

That should hopefully stop the spam problem, but if you use forums in an anonymous setting, then you might not want to follow the advice in this post as the potential for spam could increase.

Hope that helps.

Hi Paul,

We have a maintenance release scheduled for the end of the month that will include these plugin updates. It should arrive on wordpress.org then or watch our blog for updates.

Thanks for catching this bug, Troy. It looks like we missed this during initial implementation.

I’ve added an issue for this here:
https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/openlab-theme/issues/285

In the meantime, if you created a child theme, you can style the look and feel by creating an entry.php template and making sure the template matches the inner portion of the page.php markup. Blog post comments also need to be styled as well.

Hi Eva,

I do not think your issue is with all your images.

I’m only suggesting to remove the one, problematic image that is causing the problem on your Resources page because if you try and load the image URL that I linked to above, the whole browser tab will fail to load and will throw an error message (tested in Google Chrome).

Hi Eva,

It appears one of your images is causing the problem:
http://caac.msu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/photo.jpg

Try removing that photo from your Media Library and Resources page and it should load again.

Hope that helps.

Hi Duck,

Since this is WordPress functionality, you should feel free to check out the wordpress.org plugin repository:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Some have used Theme My Login in the past to some degree of success:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/

Hope that helps! If you have any further questions regarding WordPress, you can also post on the wordpress.org support forums:

Hi Jack,

Can you walk through exactly the steps you are using to update the theme?

If you are updating manually by downloading the ZIP from GitHub:

• Extract the ZIP you downloaded from GitHub and place it in wp-content/themes on your server
• Rename the older cbox-theme on your server to cbox-theme-old.
• Rename the cbox-theme-1.1.1 folder from the ZIP file to cbox-theme

cbox-theme should now be updated.  If the theme is updated, you can remove the wp-content/themes/cbox-theme-old directory.

Let us know if that works or not.

Hi Duck,

Thanks for the console messages. If you look at some of the notices, it says the following:

Blocked loading mixed active content “http://fnvdigitaal.nl/wp-json/cboxol/v1/item-type/36

This means that your site might be set up via regular HTTP, but you are attempting to load HTTPS content. Can you verify that you have either set up HTTPS on your website correctly?

You can also research mixed content WordPress issues on Google. Here are a few search results that might be applicable to you:

https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-fix-the-mixed-content-error-in-wordpress-step-by-step/

Hope that helps! Let us know if any of those articles helped with your installation.

Hi Duck,

I am unable to replicate this on the latest version of CBOX.

If possible, can you enable your browser’s javascript console and reload the page? (On Windows, for most browsers, you can launch the browser’s console by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+I.) Next, attempt to save and see if any messages are printed in the console.

Also, if you can provide your server’s error log (like in your previous support thread) at the time of the attempted save, that might show us what might be causing the problem.

[RayKeymaster]

Hi Duck,

Can you outline the exact steps you made to get the error? We need to be able to replicate the problem on our end.

For example, on what page were you editing Members or Groups and on what page are you seeing the error?

Thanks!

Hi Duck,

Glad that solved your issue with BP Group Documents!

FYI, I deleted some of your other posts in this thread because they contained sensitive information particular to your install.
