    Hi Charles,
    Thank you for the reply.

    Please allow me to assist as Ravi may be away for 2-3 days.

    Yes, you can achieve that. The Group Tabs Creator allows to have shortcode as content. I think this will work fine if you do not need group members to create the post.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Andrew,
    In our case, we do not depend on MemberPress directly. Our code work by hooking into role change as well as well as BuddyPress activation.

    If I can see their code, I will hev a better idea why the role based triggers are not running.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for checking.

    On your server, php is not allowed to execute the shell command “which”. We were using “which ffmpeg 2>/dev/null” and it failed. I ran some other command like ‘ls’ etc and they were working but it always failed.

    I was aware that the FFMPEFG exists on the server, so I changed the call for process exists() to return true. that resolved it. Other commands had no such issue.

    I further searched for why the which command was not available. PHP runes under the user your web server is running(most of the time www-data). Some of the OSs limit which command can be accessed by a less privileged user. It seems in your case ‘which’ was not allowed to be executed.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi David,
    Thank you for the patience.

    can you please upload a video and wait for few minutes and then check if it works. I will explain the issue after your testing is done.

    Thank you

    Hi David,
    Thank you.

    That means the shell_Exec is working. Otherwise, there would have been fatal error like earlier.

    Can you please provide me temporary access to your dashboard(preferably on staging environment if you are using one).

    I will like to check a few things in the plugin and see if I can get the idea.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Brajesh Singh on October 8, 2021 at 3:16 pm in reply to: Auto Friendship pro – Not working with Memberpress / role #40897

    Hi Andrew,
    Is there any way that I can look at MemberPress code. I need access to the code and how to configure the trial(If you have a staging site, please share access details).

    Since our plugin is working on role change, I am not sure what is causing. I can debug and will be able to provide a reason as well as solution after that.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Hi David,
    Thank you for the reply.

    After your reply, I checked the way “Spreebie Transcoder” checks for FFMPEG. There are 2 differences from us.

    1. it uses ‘exec’ function instead of ‘shell_exec’. The difference is exec does not return a value while shell_exec returns a value.
    2. They run it on a dummy video included with their plugin to test, we reply on the output of shell_exec.

    here is my guess for now:-

    1. Either shell_exec is still disabled
    2. Or the plugin is not able to access the binary.

    Since exec is able to run FFMPEG, I believe it is the first issue.

    I need your php error log(or WordPress debug log) to see what error the plugin is throwing. Please provide that and I will assist.

    As far as I understand, It is some simple issue and if debug log is available, we can easily resolve it.

    Regards
    Brajesh
