In reply to: [My Private Site] Registration not loadingNot being picky, but needed to clarify as people often give me a list of plugins that includes some that are not readily available.
The bad News is that I just tested this combination of plugins and everything works properly. But I need to verify a couple of assumptions:
- I am assuming that this is a normal “Single Site” WordPress install, not a WordPress Network (AKA “Multisite”)
- I am assuming that you are not hosting with wpengine.com
Here is what I tried: on the BuddyPress Settings page in the WordPress Admin panels, on the Page tab, I tried both “Register” and “- None -” in the Register field. If you first activated BuddyPress with General Settings of Membership turned off, let me know, as that seems to function differently, as the Register page is not automatically created by BuddyPress.
This still sounds like a Caching issue. Did you install WordPress from wordpress.org, or did you use an installer provided by your web host or someone else, or did your web host install WordPress for you?
Could you look on your Installed Plugins Admin panel and tell me if you see anything else besides?

In reply to: [My Private Site] Registration not loadingI’m assuming you mean the “New User Approve” plugin when you mentioned “New User Registration”.

In reply to: [My Private Site] Registration not loadingI’ll resume the creation of a test system that I started before things started working for you.
I’ll let you know, here, what I find out.

In reply to: [My Private Site] Problem with custom login pageThanks for the updates. I often wonder when I don’t hear back from people, so this is even better.
So glad that you got it to work!
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [My Private Site] Registration not loadingNormally, that would point to a Caching issue, but none of the plugins you list do Caching.
Yes, I agree: weird. Glad that you got it working properly. Let me know if you need any help at any point in the future.

In reply to: [My Private Site] Registration not loadingThank you for explaining the BuddyPress Registration problem so clearly. I will check this out on my test system and see what is going wrong.
FYI, I am sure you are right as I always knew there were issues with Registration but never had a clear idea of exactly what they are.
Sorry about “scary”, but I have bowed to pressure from plugin users who wanted features that can create Redirection Loops in certain circumstances: usually other plugins doing something unexpected that my plugin does not handle. It would be self-defeating if I did not explain the Risk.
I’ll respond here as soon as I have some answers. Thank you for your interest in the plugin!

In reply to: [My Private Site] No Custom Login Redirect – BuddyPress not HiddenI’ll start with your second problem. This sounds very similar to this problem: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-buddypress-pages?replies=10 If you can give me a list of Activated Plugins, I can try and re-create on my test systems here if they are all free plugins; as you can see, the problem appeared to be with Paid Plugins in the previous problem shown in that link.
Are you using the W3 Total Cache plugin? If so, this thread https://wordpress.org/support/topic/saving-settings-does-not-work-for-custom-login-site?replies=17 indicates a similar problem (Save Settings not working) to Problem #1.
Hopefully, this can help narrow down the problem. I look forward to hearing from you.

In reply to: [My Private Site] Private Site on Multisite don't workThe four most likely possibilities for this problem that I suggest you check first are:
- WordPress thinks you are logged on; this occurs when you logout from one Site URL, and access your site from another URL; even
www.example.comandexample.comare treated as separate logons by WordPress; the only convenient way to eliminate this as the cause of your problem is to logout and delete all cookies in your browser that match the Site URLs that could be used to access your site; - Be sure that you are using the same site’s Settings page for the plugin, as the site you are checking for privacy;
- Find out if you have any plugins that Cache; if so, you will need to “flush” the cache (for the same site) every time you change a Setting in my plugin; during testing, it would be better to disable Caching altogether;
- Flush your browser’s cache, or try another browser
#1 is the toughest one to deal with. But it is the most likely cause, especially if you use the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin.
#1 is also not really a problem, as your site is actually protected from others, even though you can see the site yourself.
As you can see, there are lots of possibilities. If you want more help, please feel free to respond.

Use FTP or a File Manager, if your web hosting control panel has one.

In reply to: Page permalink changed, I don't know why, and I can't change it backGood to know for me, too. Last time I ran into this problem, even Delete Permanently did not solve the problem. Though it did resolve itself in a number of days, a month at most.
Great that you got it working!

In reply to: Page permalink changed, I don't know why, and I can't change it backThough not recently, I’ve seen deleted, not Trash, Pages that still would make the Slug unavailable for a new Page. At the time, I actually did the MySQL work to find and delete the database table rows involved.
As I say, time to experiment with some plugins, starting with the one I mentioned, despite what its documentation says.

In reply to: Linking to large numbers of external html filesWordPress is good a huge databases, so there is no danger of clogging up the database, other than the possibility you are running on a web host with a very low limit on database size.
But, if it were me, and I was serving a bunch of geeks (not meant as an insult, but radio-controlled car club makes geek a fair guess), I would experiment with the following concept: see if you can make a subdirectory/folder visible, so you can go there with a browser and see the contents as a list of file names and sub-subdirectories. Develop some good naming standards that everyone will understand for both sub-subdirectories and files. Create a sub-subdirectory for each evening, and put the 20-30 files in the appropriate sub-subdirectory.
On a WordPress page, simply provide a link to the subdirectory with all the sub-subdirectories in it. And an explanation of your naming conventions so everyone knows how to navigate.
Be sure to test it on all possible browsers, including mobile browsers, to be sure that this approach works before actually going forward with the idea.
(wrote this before I say Clayton’s post; his is a very good idea, too)

In reply to: Page permalink changed, I don't know why, and I can't change it backIf you have MySQL skills, you could find the offending entry with the slug you want and rename the slug.
But this sounds like a better way:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/no-slug-conflicts-with-trash/There may be other plugins that do this, too, so feel free to look around.

In reply to: Fatal error: I can not login as AdminAssuming you have access to the file system through FTP or a control panel’s File Manager, you can rename or delete the offending plugin’s directory: /home/u324340871/public_html/wp-content/plugins/badgeos/
You should be able to login after that.
According to the error message, it is not currently possible to have both BadgeOS and buddypress-profile-tabs plugins ACTIVATED at the same time, because they apparently both use the same internal function name.

In reply to: Where to start with an inherited website?A lot depends on whether the site is actively being updated, say by Posts or Comments from visitors or logged-in users. If not, your job will be a lot easier.
Assuming you want to use WordPress to build your replacement web site, I would install it in a new subdirectory where no one but you would normally see it (be sure to turn off Search Engine indexing when you install WordPress in this subdirectory), and gradually build it the way you want there.
Once you are ready to “go live”, follow these instructions:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_installOnly thing to add to those instructions is the need to rename the existing home page of the old site. Typically, index.htm/.html/.php
The nice part about this approach is you can easily Backout if your new site fails.
