    sorry, this appears to be more of an auto-optimize thing rather than specifically mediapress. I thought I understood the error – but it appears after more research that it’s most likely caused by the optimize / javascript defer scripts I’ve been using to increase page load speed / core vitals.

    Which is affecting mediapress perhaps? and I should find which parts of mediapress to add to the “exclusions list” – so that it can function as needed. (is there one javascript needed to not be deferred? more than one resource that needs to load and not be deferred until after page is loaded/rendered?

    Seems to be a recurring issue when using autooptimize or wp-rocket and likely other similar ones.

    Oh man, this would be great! please do add this function!

    This will help many bp admins – the original plugin cuts down on the spam immensly – but this email notification would would make it easier for us to manually remove the spammer accounts and check for things like what email domains they used to signup, ip – stuff like that and make adjustments to limit their next signups as well.

    this addition will also help us to determine if the blocking filter is stopping some or many of our non-spammer members for whatever reason, and then we could adjust things in that area as well –

    getting the notifications will help many,
    thanks for looking at this!

    2 – no big deal right now – I figured I should mention it and whenever there is an update for the theme it’s fine – this site is live, but not many members yet – so it’s not critical.

    3 – maybe I did just assume that, and it’s possible BPO created – I just assumed it was theme created – although I did have your other theme installed for a while before this one – but the right hamburger menu (when logged in as a registered user) – has a camera icon and “gallery” – clicking that brings up a create a gallery page – and then there is an upload pic option – even with no media handling plugins active – this could of been made by something else I suppose.

    4 – glad to hear you are taking that path!

    thanks for the quick reply. I tried that and it still did not clear the wp-admin bar – at least on large screen views – so I added some custom css for now to get around it
    (
    margin-top: 16px;
    padding-bottom: 8px;
    margin-bottom: 8px;
    padding-top: 30px;
    }
    )

    sorry if I should start a new thread on this, but I also noticed when changing the page to be single column (for home page page) – it does that on 990 pixels and less – but at 992 pixels and above it goes back to two columns – not sure if this is intended by design.

    also it’s funny when you install the theme and you don’t have mediapress plugin installed – you still get a “make a gallery” and upload media options under the right sidebar – but a weird half blanked error when you click to upload a pic.

    I would imagine most people using this theme have your other plugin activated – but it might be good to throw a front end error and backend notice that it’s intended to work with mediapress – and how to change if you are using rtmedia or some other media function thing.

    love all the work you’ve done with this theme (and your plugins!) – I can tell a lot of hours in all this!

    Ah!It is NOT network activated.. instead of being under network admin dashboard.. I hover on top right and flyout menu over adults only space, then dashboard, plugins, and activated there – which I guess means it’s just activated via the main site admin panel and not network.

    this is so confusing, I guess I can un-activate bp in the one plugins page then go to the network plugins page and network activate it. I wonder if this will cause anything else to change.. I had not thought it would make any difference.
