It actually was a simple and easy fix in the child theme. If you know where to look.
I did some checking on converting from Raw-ML coding to WPML. It has some bad consequences. First of all it will convert all my posts and pages to separate pages per language. Which will make it almost impossible to manage my site, as I support many languages.
Second, all my Buddypress X-profile fields and values need to be manually entered word for word in the WPML system.
Third, all my current user profiles are stored in the database in Raw-ML style. I could make a script to go through the database and convert them. But still a bit tricky, because I I would have to eventually do it on the production database and I have a lot of registered users.
Raw-ML is fully WordPress and Buddypress supported.
My expectation was only that Sweetdate would support it too. Apparently, with the older versions of Sweetdate, I was just lucky that it was still compatible with WordPress and Buddypress standards.
The case I explained was not in the child theme. To make sure I was not in the child (containing changes I made, as that is what child themes are meant for), I activated the original theme.
The original 2.9.11 theme does not translate the value fields in selects in HTML. It works with older and thye lastest Buddypress vserions flawlessly.
The original 3.2.11 does. And that does not work with Buddypress. I gives a Buddypress error. With older versions of Buddypress and the very latest.Can you confirm that if I would switch to WPML, and move everything to WPML, everything would work?
Or are there any users of your theme who work multi language who can confirm that sweetdate actually works with WPML?
1. BEFORE updating make a backup. (Like with all-in-one or duplicator plugins)
2. When possible, update first on a local COPY. CHECK. You can run wordpress on an old PC or laptop too.
3. When you see strange things, make notes. Make sure developers can REPRODUCE your problem. So make exact notes about what you did and what you saw.
4. When you updated your live system, FIRST put your backup BACK ON LINE. You have users!
5. Open a TICKET. Supply all DETAILS.
6. Developers sometimes need time to figure it out. Just continue as you were going.
7. Once solved, you help all of us.Hi,
Never heard about that site before and this email is a company mail we been using for 5 years for our ecommerce sites and there has never been any fraud as we would bu suspended by the credit card companies if there was any such activities
But when I read the report I can directly see that is a former employe who has been writing it and he had a beef with our company after stealing.
I will see if I can report it

Hey Benson!Nice to hear from you!
First tip: Get another gmail account!!!!!! I google on it, and first hit is this page: https://badbuyerlist.org/buyer/f1fea9f734d08fdf581494d3
Just read the “details” about you…
Second, I live in Marbella, Spain. I know many people here, of all colors, also “bad” boys. Even it is or was true, no problem. Actually I like people who are not afraid to insult. But more people might google and not bother to help you further….
I did not upgrade to 3.0 yet on my live system.
Tell me your website, and your main problems, I’ll have a look.
Promised.
Regards,
Maarten

E-shop Sales(I am a happy sweetdate user, just not happy yet with updates, but to be honest, no time to put it on my test server. Glad I did not click the update link on my live version though!. My site is gay, but I don’t bite. Get some black tape or something when disgusting to you, I respect that too. Not only that, I do not believe in dictators or being the only number one. Willing to share a lot of experience, no need for money either, I work on tips only ;-). Maybe….. we can set up a forum or so, because this endless string of comments does not seem very productive….. Willing to host that too on the side. No problem.)
Got notified there was a new “update”. So just checked in.
If I have time I will give it a try on my test server tomorrow or so. But reading the comments here, I will probably be wasting my time. And probably I can reproduce that in my lab too.Hello, my name is Mark Z. I just installed facebook 2.0. To understand how the new homepage works, unfortunately I had to re-install de demo database from 1978.
Also many things changed on the pages. Buttons might no longer be were they used to be. I have no time for that as I have to reconfigure everything. And that is a lot of work! Phew!
In the mean time, re-register, and figure out how it all works now. As our developers and support people are too busy now.
In the mean time, enjoy our demo pages. And see what a fantastic job we did.
If we created any confusion, do not blame us. It is YOU who is stupid.
Member Activity layout was also changed. Change photo link on profile page moved below the user picture. Menu under user, favourites etc. was changed.
I just think of this 90 yr old man who registered last week, finally understands that “move mouse up” actually means “mouse forward” as the mouse will not work while no longer on the table. He might go back to Aldi or Lidl with his new laptop, claiming it acts funny and does not work.
I make websites for users, guys. Sweetdate 3.0 is in fact Sweetdate2 BETA!
Couple of tips, Roader:
I use a plugin called Duplicator. With that I make backups. Relatively simple to use. My site is quite new, a backup now is a lttle over 1 Gb. In other words, even my mobile could keep 10 backups, whilñe my whatsapp still functions.
I use an Amazon account (free) as a test setup. However, on any desktop/laptop you can run wordpress too. Besides that, I have a Linux server at home as an extra playground. Sandboxes.
Whenever updates of themes or plugins appear, I use duplicator to make a backup. And first update in a sandbox. Plus always read the upgrade notes! See what happens. Do not forget, even when an upograde might be a super cool improvement, the average user is conservative. The averge user hates changes. He/she just figuered out how everything works, is not there to admire design nor functionality, but is looking for a date!
Run through the upgrade notes, see what actually changed and do some basic tests. Only when happy, apply the update to your live site. When things really have changed, also write a help page for your users.
A sandbox is also prefect for playing. With CSS. With PHP. With MySQL. You mess up, you just reload your latest backup. While you learn.
Programming used to be first learning the whole language from A-Z. From a book. Now it is more searching in Google. Trial and error. Google on things. On an error message, for instance. You learn while you go. Just do not forget to make a document of changes to your live site in case a new update of a theme or plugin comes out. For complexity, CSS can be as complex as PHP. But also as simple. Or javascript, for that matter.
Get a sandbox and play! Don’t forget, for, what was it, $35 or so, anybody can buy sweetdate. And copycat you. For $35. But any additional change you make, is yours. And that is value! With one of my old projects on internet, a guy emailed me, insiting I should tell him where I downloaded my software, because he could not find it on the web. So I zipped a blank page and sent it to him. He was more angry, while I told him, that is where I started, the rest is mine. Any sports car you like? Possibly I bought that later, from keeping my secrets for me, I have had quite a few. It all began with a sandbox too. A tiny, old and cranky 100MHz pentium PC. And playing around a bit.
Thanks Radu,
The last version before 3.0 is great to continue on my own where “support and development could not be bothered anymore”. Make sure you keep the older version off the torrent sites.
Roader, dig into php et al., make your own version. I like some of your ideas. It is all open software. What others refuse to provide, you can build yourself.
Confused.
I just upgraded to 3.0. Luckily on my test server. To find out the home page is out of the window. I must install the demo data!
Just for the record, I have my home page up and running in 70 languages now. On a LIVE website.
What do you want? Go back to the demo database to just applaud your developers? Are you supposed to support me, or am I supposed to support you? Does anybody over there understand that their product is actually being used?
Branchcut and thanks. Anyone who now tries to follow me, will have to figure out how to downgrade first. And they can not. Great. Still not a bad deal for what the theme cost me. Mant thanks for blocking any future competition.
