Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can't login, no errorI struggled with this after my server upgraded to php 5.5. This is probably something you’ve already tried, but login with an entirely different browser.
As a habit, I clear my cache and cookies from “a week ago” or “a month ago” and I thought that would have taken care of it. After noticing that I could in fact login with Firefox and not Chrome, I realized that I had to clear my history “since the beginning of time” and that did the trick.
Otherwise Matthew had great suggestions! Just thought I might be able to save someone some time if they googled this (like I did) and it turned out to be a quick and easy solution like mine was.
I was having the same problem. When I went into the source code of the avatar plugin, I realized that it was more of an issue of role permissions. By default, WordPress registers new users under the “subscriber” role which gives them read-only permissions. This won’t allow the user to upload an avatar in the profile page, since they don’t have upload permissions.
Try this:
After you have the user avatar plugin installed, download a second plugin called “Advanced Access Manager” here
Now manage the “subscriber” role so that it allows the subscriber to upload. However, you’re probably going to want to restrict the subscriber access from seeing the library, otherwise the user will be able to see every picture that anyone uploads. You can change that there as well.
Now the upload form will be included and updated along with everything else when the user updates their profile.
You’re probably going to have to do some hacking to get it to show up on the registration form, but at least the users can change it if they want.
