Plugin Icons Don’t Appear In User’s Profile Settings

    Hi,
    I’m quite new to building websites and I have found buddyuser.com to be an invaluable resource. Thank you.

    At present I am attempting to build a website on a local server using BuddyPress and the Youzer plugin. Your plugins, this one and BP Profile Home Widgets, seem to be exactly what I’m looking for. I installed using a .zip file downloaded from your site. Installation seemed to go without a hitch, however, the icons have not appeared in the user’s profile settings and I can’t figure out why. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    If it helps, I’m working on Linux Mint 19.1 and using the Bitnami WordPress Stack with Firefox.

    Hi there, thanks for getting in touch.

    In the Widgets page, do you see the widgets for these plugins? if so have you added the widgets to the appropriate widget area?

    Good morning,

    Thanks for the prompt reply.

    I do see both widgets on my admin’s widget page and I have placed them both in a right sidebar widget area that appears on Profile, Wall and site-wide Activity pages. I am using the Customizr Pro theme, if that’s relevant.

    Thx.

    Thanks, and in that profile area, you are not seeing an “Add Widget” button?

    Maybe the first thing to do would be to deactivate all over plugins apart this one and BuddyPress, switch to a default theme such as 2017 and see if you can see the Add Widget button.

    Hello again,

    When I switched to the 2017 theme with all plugins deactivated as advised, the buttons for both plugins appeared on the user’s settings page and both plugins appeared functional. When I re-activate Youzer, still using the 2017 theme, I have the same problem; no icons for the plugins on the user’s settings page.

    Thx.

    That’s interesting, I’ve just installed Youzer and BP User Widgets are displaying in my sidebar and seem to work fine. Maybe it’s how you’ve got it configured?

    Actually, that was with the graphene theme, when I switched to 2017 the widgets disappeared, it seems Youzer is doing something strange to the widget areas for some themes.

    I can’t get any widgets to display in the sidebar in the profile, instead it’s displaying Youzer widgets that I didn’t ask for and seemingly can’t change

    I haven’t had that problem. The widgets I have chosen on Youzer’s user’s settings page show up as selected and are functional…

    Try adding a non Youzer widget

    I mean there’s a Wall Widget area in Appearance>>Widgets, but nothing you put in it displays

    Non-Youzer widgets are not showing up in that Activity/Wall/Profile sidebar…

    Yep, so unless I’m missing something Youzer is a walled garden – you only get the options they want to give you.

    I understand. Widgets from Wall Widget area in Appearance>>Widgets do not appear whereas the widgets provided by Youzer do appear.

    I’m marking this as resolved as I don’t think this is a bug as such, but something deliberate from Youzer.
