In reply to: [SiteOrigin CSS] screen shows “The connection was reset.”Hi alexgso,
Thank you for the reply.
I checked my Admin / Settings / General and the URL listed there is
http://localhost.org/wordpress
and it is greyed out and can’t be changed.
So what happened was probably when I first installed this wordpress by using Bitnami, I have used
localhost.org/wordpress
and
localhost/wordpressinterchangably without knowing it (because the url was automatically saved and by just typing the beginning of the url, the entire url popped up and I just Enter without noticing they might be of two different urls.
I just went back to SiteOrigin CSS UI and make sure the url is
http://localhost.org/wordpress
but it still showed that “The connection was reset.” screen. Sometimes (but rarely) if I refresh screen it will bring backk the normal screen, but if i just clicked on any link on the page and tred to go to another page, the same “The connection was reset.” screen showed up again even though the url remained on
http://localhost.org/wordpress
I haven’t tried CORS yet becasue
1) I don’t know by above descriptions if you can suggest a solution?
and
2) I don’t know which CORS I should select on their list.Thank you.

Yuo can zoom in to read the text. I also saved it as a file and I just realized it’s actually a text file so I pasted it on pastebin
Hopefully they will help.
Thank you for helping.

In reply to: Strange thing happened when activating plugins using Bulk Actions“What is the username of that user?”
He posted reply to my threads under different usernames throughout the 6-7 months times and those that was intended to getting me to buy those useless themes was at the beginning part of that time period. So it’s been at least a year now. I already forgot that username. Neither did I record it. And in order to avoid being tracked by him again on this forum, I myself have been changing my own usernames periodically to be safe. So I already lost track of those threads.
“There is no programmatic way of tracking users through ww.wp.xz.cn. ww.wp.xz.cn is controlled by some clever and good people, some of which work for Automattic.”
I wasn’t able to include all details of the story in my last reply but i was using his theme the whole time. And I believe most of the problem I was getting was created by him perhaps through the update ??. So he knew the problem I was getting and when and where my thread would appear on this forum.
I mentioned he keylogged my laptop. Looking back, I think it’s probably through the very first email he sent me. When first time opening his email, it contained so much stuff that I can literally felt it was heavy and took a long time to open and have all the tables, graphics, and stuff to appear. I instinctively felt uncomfortable but thought it’s from a theme author from Themeforest, or Envato market, so it should be safe. Right? So that may have something to do with his being able to track me / creating problems.
Anyway, it was a nightmare.
I apologize if I wasn’t clear on Paid Membership Pro in my last reply. They already released a new update and fixed the problem. So I’m okay with them now.
However, you did not comment on my 2nd story about the membership plugin author changing that particular feature from free version to paid version. At this point, as an average wordpress user, as opposed to a developer, I’d appreciate if you can educate me on what a plugin author and theme author can see from their ends. That would be much more useful to me or people like me from this point on.
It would be hard to convince me that membership plugin author did not change the placement of that feature with the intention to force me to buy, or it’s a coincidence, but he failed and that was that. Whenever money is involved, not all people can stay honest, whether on this forum or not. Of course, I have to stay this trick was low and distasteful. But it’s a waste of time to dig in such pettiness.
So if you can educate me on what a plugin author and theme author can see from their ends, what they have access to on our site content, devices, pc, files on our host servers, etc, I’d really appreciate that.
Thank you.

In reply to: Strange thing happened when activating plugins using Bulk ActionsI waited a little bit to reply with the intention to see how the issue would evolve so that i won’t end up with a false accusation before revealing the name of the plugin.
The plugin released a new update late last night and fixed the problem. It’s Paid Membership Pro.
Having said that, the (2) from Liam’s last reply raised a very good point that I’d like to hear your opinions from you, especially Andrew if you could since your’e the moderator, or anybody.
First off, I agree that most authors / developers here are honest.
Now allow me to share 2 stories.
I started learning WP just a bit over a year ago. Back then, I didn’t know anything at all. I first bought a theme form Themeforest, a seemingly well-known reputable marketplace. I had a kind of ambitious website idea, but knew nothing in the tech department. I had to ask the theme author for everything, even a simple task of hiding something on the page, which can be easily done through a CSS plugin, which I didn’t know back then. The theme author ended up keylogging my laptop, followed me on WordPress support forum, disguised under a different identity trying to fool me to buy a bunch of useless themes. In the end he found out I actually fooled him.
A couple months later (things had been quiet prior to this point) when I was already off guard, I was almost done developing my site at that time, and suddenly my site (was still using his theme dveloping my site on my laptop hard drive back then) started to experience lots of strange problems, one after another. When I finally had to post these issues on WP support forum, I fell into his trap again when he again pretended someone to help and learned about how I normally re-install wordpress and my site files and database to fix problems. The following day when I was doing just that, my entire datebase sql file saved on my device was ruined. That means I had to rebuild my entire site from the scratch again. (The whole incident with this theme author took place in a 6 -7 ~ months time so this is just a fast forward without many details.)
Just a couple months ago I was researching membership plugins. I found one in WP depository that has an important feature I need and it’s in their free version. So I downloaded it and tried it out right away. It did work but I wasn’t ready to commit back then but just researching. So I deleted it. Two days later when I went back to their plugin detail page, that particular, and only that particular feature, suddenly disappeared form the free version and was moved to the paid version. I don’t know about you but personally I was shocked. That means and seems to prove to me that these plugin authors, and probably theme authors too, can actually track us down, see what we’re doing on our site, to the single individual level. And can probably see the content on our sites, too. And that realization really alarmed me.
Well, at this point, one may come up with their own conclusion on these experiences , and some will probably say I’m just being paranoid.
I’m not going to argue or say anything about that.
I’m not a techie and I learned just enough to create what I need to create. Not being developers or people working for / behind WordPress ourselves, it may behoove us to know just what authors / developers of plugins and themes, whether in WP depository or not, have access to our site content, to our data, to the files on our hard drive including those unrelated to our site (localhosted) or our files saved in the servers of our host.
Thank you for reading such a long message. I really appreciate that.

In reply to: Strange thing happened when activating plugins using Bulk ActionsIt’s the free version of a payment gateway plugin, which does not provide support at all. Only the paid version does. I’ve encountered this similar situation with this same plugin just a couple months ago when it suddenly stopped working and only prompted me to contact the administrator. But to contact them would mean to have to upgrade to the paid version. I placed a thread on their WP support forum anyway but received no response at all.
I happened to just purchase a new laptop back then (my site was and still is hosted on my laptop) so I reinstalled WP on the new pc and re-created my site on it and the plugin worked on the new one.
Now a couple months later, this strange thing happened again from this same plugin. If my site is already up and running now this would mean I’d be forced to pay to upgrade to keep my site running. I don’t want to see everybody as bad guys but I now can’t help suspect if this is how they, the plugin authors, trick us to upgrade.
But at the same time, when I used Bulk Actions to activate multiple plugins, all plugings below this plugin did not get activated. So I also wonder if there’s something wrong somewhere, which is why I’d have posted this thread.
I already tried re-installing Wrodpress and migrated my whole site to the new install but the same problem persisted.

Hi,
Just realized you replied to my thread. Thank you.
I re-installed WordPress and started all over again and now it seems working the way it should for the most part, except:
4. “The settings you mentioned don’t affect this option on the form.”
So is there a way to remove “Everyone” and “Guest user” from the dropdown and even for “Logged in Users” it would have to be only for Subscriber since it’s submitted by frontend members therefore other roles really should not be there, either. Can we do that?5. Possibily, but you would need to use some custom coding to do it.
Another alternative is this:
On the Booking management page, the page that shows the booker’s email address to the event manager is the booker’s profile page with the plugin, is that correct. If correct, when looking at the booking management page, if users click on the username of the booker, they will be taken to the booker’s profile page. Can we link the username to the booker’s Buddypress profile page instead that way the booker’s personal email address will never be revealed to the event manager or anybody else except us, the admin?Thank you.
Best regards
Forgot to mention regarding the email setting, my gmail address associated with the Postman SMTP has two-step verifications set up but i tried disable the two-step and it still did not work.

In reply to: [User Switching] Switch Back ProblemI have the same problem after switching to a different user and Switch Off too. I was able to see the return link after manually type in wp-login.php at the address bar, but is there a fundamental way to solve the problem?

In reply to: [Gallery Manager] Add white color rounded border on lightbox ?I apologize for not phrasing my question correctly. I guess what i meant was “How to add rounded white color border on lightbox ?”
I don’t see anywhere in the setting that would let me do that.

In reply to: [BuddyPress Compliments] size of the gift icon?Not good at codes. I resized all 8 images based on what I saw on the screen and they seem to look fine now on desktop and mobile on Chrome and Firefox. Not sure on Apple and ios since i don’t have one.
thanks.

In reply to: [BuddyPress Compliments] size of the gift icon?Thank you. I tried the padding but it turned out instead of increasing the padding between the 2 columns, both 2 columns moved to the right at the same time with the middle overlapping parts remained overlapped, the far left padding increasing and the right side of the compliment types images pushed out of the right border of the pop-up box.
That leads me into thinking maybe even though they appear in 2 columns when in fact behind the scenes they are actually only 1 column. Can that be the case? If so, I’m guessing maybe the way to get rid of the overlapping issue is to increase the width of the pop-up box. But if we do that, I’m guessing that will probably mess up the display on mobile screens even further.

In reply to: [BuddyPress Compliments] size of the gift icon?Hi,
I added
.comp-form-ul li span img { width: auto !important; height: auto !important; }to make my compliment types files bigger in the pop-up. I have 8 of them displayed in 2 columns with 4 in each column inside the pop-up. Now they look bigger but the problem is the two columns are too close to each other and overlap a little in the middle of the 2 columns on desktop, and overlap big time on mobile screens.
Can anyone help me fix that, please?
Thanks
