 * One thing to make sure of is under “Settings” –> “Media” make sure that ‘Default
   quality setting’ is check-boxed on ‘Display higher quality video by default’.
   This is not check-boxed when installing the videopress plugin

 * I had the same error. This is what I did to resolve it.
 * Accidentally I posted the json file instead of the p12 file to my web server.
   So make sure the correct p12 file is in the root directory of your website (ie./
   public_html/_(place p12 file here)_
 * Make sure that you can have public access to this file.
 * Please note: if the p12 file has any spaces in the file name, then make sure 
   to use %20 for space bar (percentage sign and 20 with no spaces, under the Private
   Key Url Path). Without this, you will also receive this error. I hope this helps.

 * You are correct…. I downloaded a free buddypress compatible theme for testing:
   [http://wordpress.org/themes/firmasite](http://wordpress.org/themes/firmasite)
   for testing and Dynamic Widgets worked perfect in filtering Buddypress Groups!
   At least I’m narrowing down where exactly the root of the problem is. Thanks 
   again for your quick responses.
 * I guess I can safely say that it’s 100% that my other theme broke this functionality.

 * Yes, correct, DW worked on buddypress groups before upgrading to the latest theme
   on one site. Oddly, DW is only affected in this particular area. Every other 
   instance of DW works perfect. The only thing that concerns me is that DW doesn’t
   filter with buddypress groups on Twenty Fourteen… However, I know that the Twenty
   Fourteen theme isn’t optimized for Buddypress so I don’t know if this is a fair
   comparison. Regardless, I will work with the theme author of Dynamix and try 
   to get to the bottom of this. I truly appreciate your responses & time. I just
   need to get DW back working again for Buddypress groups. If all else fails, I
   will pay anyone for support to get this fixed, as it’s very important to have
   this filtering.
 * Lesson learned: Do not upgrade anything before testing on a “testing platform”
   first

 * The theme I am using is Dynamix: [http://themeforest.net/item/dynamix-business-corporate-wordpress-theme/113901](http://themeforest.net/item/dynamix-business-corporate-wordpress-theme/113901)
 * I am also using the latest version of Dynamic Widgets 1.5.6. I have 2 identical
   websites with the same plugins running on WP 3.8. On one of the sites, DW works
   perfect. The other site it does not. The only difference is that DW doesn’t work
   on the updated theme. I’ve already talked to the theme programmers, which say
   that the problem in within DW. Please let me know if I can send you Admin login
   credentials to both sites so you can see exactly where DW breaks on one of them.
 * I truly hope there is a solution. I’m in a little panic since these are running
   on schools that desperately need DW to work again with Buddypress groups. Thank
   you Qurl.
 * Outside of this little problem, DW rocks!

 * In all fairness, maybe doing secondary testing on the theme Twenty Fourteen isn’t
   accurate since Buddypress isn’t supported. However, it would be great if any 
   advice is given. Thanks

 * Another solution which is easier and works perfect (but you lose the lightbox
   feature)
 * 1) Increase the thumbnail size by adding this line to your wp-config file: define(‘
   BPFB_THUMBNAIL_IMAGE_SIZE’, ‘640×640’);
    (I’ve chosen 640×640 for the maximum
   thumbnail size, since lightbox is lost)
 * 2) Go to your plugins\buddypress-activity-plus\lib\forms folder and edit the 
   images_tag_template.php file and delete this section: ” class=”<?php echo $use_thickbox;?
   >” rel=”<?php echo $rel;?>” <?php echo $target; ?> >
    (This will restrict opening
   your original uploaded image in a lightbox when you click on it – this is important
   since you will be deleting the original in the next step)
 * 3) Lastly, setup a cron, maybe once a week, to delete all files over a certain
   size in the bpfb folder (this is the folder where all the uploaded & thumbnail
   images are stored)
 * I’ve set my cron to delete all images over 150kb. Here is the command line:
    
   find public_html/wp-content/uploads/bpfb/* -size +153600c -type f -delete
 * (note: 153600c is bits, which is 150kb)

 * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-set-maximum-upload-file-size/#post-3809696)
 * Editing the file_uploader.php file settings to limit the maximum upload size 
   works okay for limited scenarios… but is there any way to resize the upload to
   a smaller image file size on the fly, then delete the original larger file? I
   will be having most users upload from their mobile phones to a group (which sizes
   may be in the megabytes per upload). This is a massive hassle if they need to
   resize before uploading (and I don’t think most people will manually do this 
   anyway). Please help. I’m hoping this is in development or someone has a workaround.
   Thank you very much in advance. This is an awesome plug-in, but I really need
   this feature. I’m sure others do too.

 * Thanks for your reply… sorry if I’m not understanding correctly, but I noticed
   this thread was in reference to group avatar images being compressed. Will it
   resize images that are uploaded in an activity stream using a media uploader,
   as in BuddyPress Activity plus? This is where image file sizes are skipped due
   to images in the activity stream not being part of the media uploader folder.
   Hope I’m being clear.
