here are examples of my past format you can see the circular images of the widgets and being in rows
also highlighted notifications are viewed better with more width of the boxes
Hello so everything is updated. The pictures are fixed 🙂
1.
However commentating with uploading a photo doesn’t work.While I look through things, yes I can appreciate what was done and I do like some of it, however there are some glaring issues.
I don’t know if I should create another thread…1.
Members search is gone, that’s the most significant issue: I am/Looking for /City/Age etcThere are things on the Dashboard that I need to acquaint with as I’m not sure what they do or are.
2.
Widgets: all Avatars are squared and too big. So if I select Who’s Online as a Widget the Avatars are squared and everything seems to drop into a Column rather then a Row as it was before. It’s the same for Groups they fall in a Column.
Also in Activity feed. It seems to have bad formatting as well. I could see it work better if they were round and smaller.3.
On number highlights it is incased in blue can that be removed. It’s in a lot of
places Profile/Members/Groups. There are examples on the pics. You’ll see in some cases it just doesn’t work/look good.4.
On Mobile there is the number 21 right underneath the Profile/Logout button.
There are also many black dots across the site in certain areas. I uploaded pics to show except for the number 21 from my phone. I’m thinking the black dots are Show Who’s Online but broken somehow.5.
Sticky now for some reason “truncates”(?) not sure if right wording but I uploaded a pic as well.6. Cover image in Groups doesn’t load or show. To make another point of that, there is no indication that an image has been uploaded or if it is still in the process of uploading.
7. There use to be a BP-Truncated(?) I beleive it was called that turned off the Album tab in the Profiles page and that seems to be gone now? It looks like it has been replaced with BuddyPress Plugins Hook but I don’t know what that is for? I’d like the Album tab removed.
8. Selecting Show Member Online doesn’t show. Meaning there is no green light next to an Avatar indicating they are online.

I had tested all this without plugins aside from the usual bbpress, buddypress, revslider, rtmedia. I reactivated Jetpack, Allinone, and antivirus after looking around the site and seeing the issues. I have left the other plugins deactivated.9?
I have also now uploaded my changes on the Child theme and I noticed my images for Groups on Home page is gone, as well as on the messaging wall posts, also before I input my changes the Avatars where huge and squared as well.OK I will try this since I can’t get resolution and I have opened a thread on the rtmedia forums as well but haven’t had additional feedback for a few days, but would like to clarify with you. I watched a demo on youtube about updating themes though best to check with you about a few things first.
1. I’ll assume that I should do this through ftp? So this is the route that I’ll do then.
2. Should I deactivate the theme first in Dashboard and select another theme like the twenty fifteen or just right away transfer over the SD folder? This is what I saw on YT.
2. Do I have to reload the demo-sweetdate.xml? Would I have to activate anything else?
3. I’m going to deactivate all 3rd party plugins, though should I keep revslider, bbpress, buddypress and rtmedia active? Your suggestion?
4. I will check the site first with the parent theme, especially the rtmedia issue and then will upload the child theme that came with the update. I’ve already removed all my custom files so uploading again won’t be an issue.That’s it, let me know if I’m missing any details. I’m not quite sure what you mean with your last response but I’ll look into that if something happens. Thanks
Thanks Laura. I bought this theme last year in June/July never updated the theme until last week. In that time I had updated all plugins like rtmedia, etc, when they came and never had issue with my site…however updating to 2.9.5 I have a several issues..
I think if one has their site the way they want it, it seems counter-productive to update any plugin or theme for the latest bells&whistles that may not even be used/needed for ones site, just to avoid conflict with a theme especially if one is not a coder. Just food for thought for others as this has happened to me.Let me clarify more, looking at the contents likely I have to upload both parent and child. I’ll assume if I go this route that when I upload both it will just overwrite the two existing installed themes (parent/child) and everything like menus, widgets, pages that I created already (home, about us, etc) forums, will still stay intact?
I will ask now about updating as I never figured that out. Do I dl the file, extract contacts, and upload the child theme zip only?
fyi also there is no backup to refer to, as I had to switch to a Dedicated server due to storage issues so this site was a new install of the theme to a temp domain name and then had the old domain name switched over to the temp. I initially installed the recent version of SweetDate but there were so many changes I referred back to an older theme.
As an fyi if I updated will I lose the site that I built, ie forum structure etc? I’m not concerned with the child theme as I removed everything from there due to this issue.The add friend/wall/message are there for other profiles.
I bought the theme last year in June/July I believe and never updated theme until last week but in that time I did update all plugins that I used when updates came like rtmedia, bbpress etc and had no issues.
Is there someone on dev still looking into this?No I don’t have a cache plugin and I have other issues that have made me disable all plugins as well as my own changes and that was still there. This has only happened after updating the theme because I had to rebuild
jamesbuddyrogers there is wp_monalisa plugin that has smilies for forums and with a but of work you can add more

Can you share the name of the one you found for groups?
Hello Roader, I like that option with the text, please share if you get that resolved. Only when I click on it initially does the text appear to Cancel and then clicking cancel goes to Add Friend Text. Everyone else stays as a + sign.
“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!”
This nails it. I read an article on Markus Frind creator of POF and users would freak if he so much as changed a color on his site.
I`m curious, I know that Word Press seems to auto update on my Dashboard (would like to stop that personally), does BuddyPress and bbpress auto update as well?
With my thoughts, if I have everything running as I like it, why really bother updating Buddypress, bbpress, and theme? It seems one would always have to play catch up themselves with their own site?OK.
By chance am I able to get a prior version of the theme? Currently it it 2.9.5 and we were working with the version prior to this one I believe unfortunately I can’t find it saved.Also you mentioned there was an issue with the Profile Menu? Can you bring that to my attention I don’t know what it is. Thanks
Ok so I made a mess and reinstalled the child theme, however I still cannot view images on a profile.
Also I initially removed one by one, verses removing all and then uploading one by one, before I removed everything as the state it is in now.
Thanks Kieran for the quick response, didn’t expect until the week day.
maybe I’m misunderstanding, when I removed the files in the child theme the site was a mess. Still could not view images.
Also not sure what is not working with Profile Menu?
Thanks.
I have worked on this site for a year and had to reinstall and rebuild last week due to storage issues, for whatever reason things are not coinciding with what was done and good to go. I was hoping to launch next week, little things can be fixed down the road but this one is a big issue. I really hope we can resolve this… 🙁
My apologies Laura it’s late. The Mixed Form shows. Just need to know about making the default Home page and about deleting the others…thanks 🙂
Also RegForms and Carousel: I am logged in however there is no mixed form? I did have this removed on my previous build it seems odd that it’s gone again…?
Also I notice there are like 3 Home pages, About/About Us etc. I’m not one to delete things but at this moment I don’t want to have confusion and too cluttered, it is safe to delete these pages?
Thanks, I will implement that. I just received an email from Bluehost apparently my plan will not hold that amount of storage (capped at 200,000 and I have uploaded over 800,000 images) which was news to me and will have to switch plans to their vps or dedicated server plans. Wish they were able to figure that out from the get go. I will close this as resolved, thank you both!
