I tried every one of these options and it hasn’t made any difference.

You can log in as me (the info I submitted)

Then go to https://50plusconnects.com/members/50-admin/#looking-for

This is the 4th Profile tab. You will see it all down that row of fields.

It also does this on the About Myself tab if you make Height searchable. I turned off the searchable part of that to see if it stopped the ascii character encoding, which it does.

[rweiss]

Thanks, Laura – that worked.

I looked in the database at the user created for testing by Radu and compared with another user.

The field ID’s are the same. There isn’t a change.

So, whatever happened, something is only allowing new additions to be searched, and I am completely baffled as to why that would be the case.

I can’t see any database differences between the new entry and the old ones that would cause this. The ONLY difference I can see is in the amount of data collected since the testor provided minimal info.

This is what I am frustrated by. I did not change field names or field values.

So, I am not sure why this happened.

Rick

[rweiss]

So, the search works with new profiles. But I DID NOT change, modify or delete profile fields. If that happened it happened because of an update.

So, I wasn’t looking at that issue. But you are right, a new profile works.

How does that help me now? Do I have to re-enter 955 members because the profiles filled out are giving off the wrong field ID’s (or whatever the terminology is).

Does this mean that every modification to the profile setup means the search system stops working?

What you have told me is that I don’t have results for members whose profiles somehow got screwed up (even though they look correct when you view them individually).

My point is – I still don’t know how to fix this. And if changing profile fields completely destroys the search mechanism, then there should be a BIG warning that doing so will screw up all search results thereafter.

I need an actual look at the site.

I have been working on this issue for days and nothing I try is resolving this issue.

I didn’t change the buddypress profiles.

Of course, I tried to check it with plugins deactivated. I have replaced wordpress, reloaded sweetdate and sweetdate-child, I have replaced buddypress.

I have done EVERYTHING I can possibly try, and nothing changes. I need someone to look at the site…. To look at the files, to look at this issue as something more than the obvious.

Please, the client is VERY frustrated that this is not getting fixed.

[rweiss]

By the way.

When I go to the search page and try to re-enter the Member Search shortcode, the page gets the dark overlay and then just freezes.

I can’t get the code to place when using the visual editor.

IN order to get the code in I have to manually place it the text editor.

Not sure what this says, other than some javascript conflict perhaps?

Hi

I had tried the repair in the BuddyPress Tools already, but I did it again. NO change.

I added the line in functions.php – still no change.

So, still no member search results.

Rick

[rweiss]

Has this been looked at? I haven’t heard from anyone – the client is getting frustrated.

[rweiss]

Never mind. I figured it out:

<!– Logo –>
<div class=”four columns”>
<h1 id=”logo”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
“>” width=”294″ height=”108″ alt=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>”>
</h1>
</div>
<div class=”seven columns”>
<h2>Dating, Romance & Companionship for people over 50</h2>
</div>
<!–end logo–>

[rweiss]

Hi

This is what I tried before. It doesn’t work. Because of the “four columns” it pushes the h2 text down below the logo.

But if I change “four columns” to “eight columns” then it stretches the logo out.

See the attached image.

The problem is that the css – I guess – is forcing the logo to stretch to whatever the css grid width is, rather than holding to the size designated.

I’m not sure you understood the question, Laura.

I want to add text to the right side of the logo. With the h2 tag. I know how to adjust the size of the logo. That isn’t an issue.

I need to put this in the header.php script.

I know it needs to be in this area:

<div class=”four columns”>
<h1 id=”logo”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
“>” width=”294″ height=”108″ alt=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>”>
</h1>
</div>

Regulating the height of the logo will not solve the issue.

[rweiss]

The page I want to work on is live and I can’t leave the form showing – as it looks terrible.

I think I am going to rework the homepage – using the 7th queen home template (which puts the Rev Slider in the background).

Rick

[rweiss]

The problem was the WP Slimstat plugin.

Is this going to be the case with other stat plugins? I wanted something that tracks internally – to accompany google analytics.

What would it be about a stats tracker that would conflict?

I guess I can ask on the BuddyPress forum.

[rweiss]

There are some changes in the child-theme function.php file that made things work before this update.

I think that was part of my question (although it is tagged to another post on a similar issue).

Here is my function.php file in the child-theme. Can you see what may be causing the issue?

I’m sorry Laura – but you don’t seem to be answering the question.

I get what they are for.

Please listen to the question.

Do they change? With new versions out since I first put the theme in, have these files changed any? It seems that if the version updates, it would be logical at some point that they also would change.

Rick

[rweiss]

I assumed that.

My question had more to do with whether there are ever any changes in the child-theme files.

The child theme is NOT empty. It has files in it. Do those change when the theme is updated? Should they be replaced from previous versions of those files?

I understand the purpose of a child-theme. That isn’t my question.

[rweiss]

I’m not seeing how this does anything different then a regular search Man Looking for Woman in a city.

I was excited to see some advancement in the matching. But I am not sure what this does.

Some documentation would sure be helpful.

[rweiss]

I guess i can’t upload php files. I saved it as a text file

I’m wondering if this issue is due to child-theme function.php adaptations?

For example, although this is a different issue, do we still need this in the child theme functions?

/* Birthday to age in profile page */
bp_get_the_profile_field_value();
add_filter(‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘kleo_age_field’,10,3);
function kleo_age_field($value, $type, $id) {
$age_field = sq_option(‘bp_age_field’);
if ($age_field == $id) {
$value = xprofile_get_field_data($id);
$diff = time() – strtotime($value);
$age = floor($diff / (365*60*60*24));
$value = sprintf( _n( ‘%s year’, ‘%s years’, $age, ‘buddypress’ ), $age );
}
return $value;
}

I’m uploading my child-theme functions.php so you can see it. I’m just wondering if the cause of what Adam is seeing (which I am also dealing with) is caused by old adaptations done in that file.

[rweiss]

I have the same issue…only posting this so I get notified when a fix is provided.

[rweiss]

Yes, on the one site I like the line above, but the gap is too great. I just want to narrow that gap. When I change the Main Menu Height item in the dashboard, it doesn’t change the gap, it just seems to put less space between the menu and the logo.

Okay on the tabs. Looking at Firebug when I select an li menu item it seemed like so much of the menu is based on dynamic and bootstrap items, that a simple #menu-main ul would create havoc.

Thanks, on that part, I’ll see what happens.

[rweiss]

I forgot to add – you didn’t respond to the Tab look question that the client is asking for.

Is that possible?

[rweiss]

“Regarding the border above the main menu, that’s actually the bottom border of the top menu. Each menu item is an li of the #menu-main ul.”

I have a hard time thinking this is right. The border line displays when I hover over a main menu item. How would that be tied to the Top Menu (which I am not using)?

The css code did not change the gap. I put it in the child style.css for Kleo

[rweiss]

Edit: duplicate question. See here: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/change-style-of-main-menu

[rweiss]

Never mind. I found it by going to classic edit view. I was trying to do it with the Visual Composer.

The member search feature needs to fix the issue of going back to search results when someone clicks to a profile and then wants to return to the search results.

The return takes one to the first page of the search results rather than the page you were on. This is frustrating if you have been looking through more than 4 or 5 pages already.

I know this is related to the AJAX search implementation, and that it can be addressed by creating history entities. But I am not a programmer, so I don’t know where to work on this myself.

I read through a thread that tied some search issues to the Revolution slider, but neither the fix or deactivating that Slider plugin had any effect on this issue.

This is our needed FIX for now. But the main Feature Request we want is better matching features, and the ability for a person to Favorite or otherwise “save” members they are interested in.

Rick

[rweiss]

Never mind, I cleared the cache and the app.js script started working.

[rweiss]

This issue has resurfaced again. Other then updates to existing plugins and the theme, nothing else has been added.

I tried to put the app.js script above, and then didn’t resolve the issue or do a redirect.

[rweiss]

Never mind my post. I didn’t realize this was for Kleo – and I see that a new change-avatar.php script has been written that I hope addresses my issue on SweetDate

[rweiss]

I used to be able to do this in previous versions.

When logged in as a member, I would go to another members page, click change avatar in the Edit member drop down (top bar) and I could upload and crop the image for that person.

Now, with the current version, when I go to Change Avatar for another member, I can upload the photo, but the system bounces me back to my account, and the photo if saved would replace my avatar.

I can’t seem to get it to stay on the profile of the person I want to edit.

What happened?

[rweiss]

I need to revisit this issue.

All of a sudden the background image on the homepage header area is creeping up into the menu.

I tried the my-bg suggestion above, and it didn’t change anything (the example link is no good anymore).

I have resized the image numerous times to try and fit the space, but it just stays as it is.

I can’t seem to find any css that will help on this.

Changing the permission on admin-ajax.php is not resolving this, and commenting out the line in app.js is not working as a bypass.

What would I tell the hosting company to fix if this is their issue?

Rick

[rweiss]

I’m curious.

It seems that if editing this page is to be done in the /registration/register.php page, then aren we not going to lose our changes every time sweetdate is updated?

Isn’t this something we should be doing in the child theme? And if so, how?

[rweiss]

You are right – clearing the cache resolved the issue. Whew!

Thank you much.

Now I need to get a way to save matches for people. That is the other critical part that the client wants.

I am looking at some of the “friends” plugins with buddypress to see if they will integrate something like that into this.

Also, it would be good to have a BACK link in the page when someone looks at a profile. Right now they have to use the Back button of their browser.

I will add that to the suggestion box.

know that this site is for the 50 plus….so my clients are VERY concerned about their customers needing things as clear as possible.
