    Hi Earl,
    I am sorry, I am not sure where we left the link but this addon was dropped.

    A client side implementation using canvas for adding filters was not suitable solution for large images and we had to drop it mid development.

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you for using the plugin.

    1. The Profile Tabs plugin does not allow changing the slug of a tab/sub tab currently. Is there any chance you are trying to do that?

    Trying to change label will have no issue and will not cause any crash unless you update permissions or the set the default tab inaccessible.

    The unique field is same as the post slug. Earlier, the post slug field was used. We still fallback to that if you do not specify the unique slug(it is the slug of existing component or a new slug for custom tabs). It was there earlier but not visible(unless turned on from screen options, now it is visible by default).

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Earl,
    For the category plugin we do not plan to do so.

    BuddyPress 12.0.0 will support the media plugin released by BuddyPress core team and we do not see any value in perusing it.

    Also, as a 3rd party developers, Nouveau had a lot of issue with js hooking that made it difficult.

    Hi Tim,
    Thank you for using the plugin.

    The issue is indeed caused by Groups plugin.
    Group tabs are stored in custom post type and the groups plugin causes problem with post content.

    Please ask the groups plugin developers on how to disable filtering for the content of a particual post type and that will help solve it.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Brajesh Singh on in reply to: [Resolved] Reasons Not to Migrate to NING #48712

    Hi Dianne,
    Thank you for the question. It is a good one.

    Both have their pros and cons.

    NING Pro:-
    – Low maintenance, less worries about updating
    – Less cost for smaller communities
    – Has good set of features
    – probably better security as their code is closed
    – seamless integration between the features they provide

    NING Cons:-
    – Lack of flexibility. If you need any feature outside of their defaults, it is not feasible
    – Plan limitations on storage/number of users
    – Limited customizations(themes available via their site)
    – Leaves a lot to be desired

    Let us see the pros and cons of using WordPress as community platform:-

    Pros:-
    – Infinite flexibility:- You can extend the community as much as you need.
    – Huge Eco system:- You get benefit from the huge eco system as well as developer availability

    Cons:-
    – Lack of the features available with current community plugins
    – A lot of effort needed to create seamless experience
    – High maintenance cost & effort:- When using multiple plugins, the whole platform becomes brittle as anyone of them can break the whole site.

    The main problem with community plugins with WordPress is you need to devote a lot of time developing/managing a community software than you put on Growing your community/idea.

    If you can hire a developer, then I will definately recommend going with WordPress dues to flexibility. If you have a smaller community and your needed feature set is matched by any of the hosted solutions(there are many other than NING), you can go with them.

    PS:- If you stick with WordPress this year, we are hoping to solve the frustrating experience users have while creating community with WordPress. Expect a solution by September-October this year.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Nik,
    I will have a demo setup for you to test the 1,2. We have a holiday tomorrow, so I will either put it today or day after tomorrow and link you.

    3. yes, that filter will allow you to do that.

    I will also re-check with latest BuddyBoss platform to be sure.

    Thank you

    Hi Nik,

    1. Please make sure you are using latest version of BuddyBlog Pro/BuddyBlog Groups.

    2. Please re-check the settings and verify that the settings does not allwo users to publish. I have verified it on BuddyPress group.

    3. I have added a hook to customize/override the behaviour if you do not want to allow group admins. I have added in the plugin what feels natuarl(allow admins to publish if they can control the publish state).

    The filter is ‘bblpro_default_post_status_for_user’

    PS:- You may want to remove any custom code to check it.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Carsten,
    Thank you for sharing the details.

    If you can ask WPS Hide Login team if there is any function to check we are on their login page, then I can certainly update the code to skip that page.

    That will fix it.

    Regards
