Yes, there is a setting in UserPro in the “Appearance and Look” dropdown in UserPro “Settings”. That option is called “Hide Top Bar from Non-Admins”.

If that option is set to “No” and save, the issue should be resolved.

I hope this helps.

Yes, I created a folder called “no-load” and did the same thing. It has worked for each update, except I have to download the plugin, make the folder move the files into that folder and then upload it. Other than that, yes that is a solution.

Hi @kmjw,

Did Guillaume’s reply resolve your question?

Thanks

Yes, there was an issue that arose after we did the Google Sign Up Plus OAuth. We have updated the plugin so this should happen again.. I see you are in and have posted. I will suggest this topic be marked resolved and it will be addressed from there.

Thanks for bringing that error to our attention.

I agree, letting just anybody upload photos can be a risk, as with everything. However, I don’t allow just anybody to post testimonials. Only people who have done business with me are allowed to do that, and they have to be logged into their account to do so.

So, the risk is much less. There are ample plugins that offer the same type of feature, avatars frontend posting plugins. Yes, a few. And there don’t seem to be concerns with WP or those sites that like to post security risks found with WP, themes for WP and plugins for WP.

Thanks for your reply. Love the plugin though. It is great.

Is this turning into a trademark discussion or is it about advertising. The domain doesn’t confuse me in the least. It’s obviously not WordPress and it doesn’t give anyone the impression that it is sanctioned by the foundation. But that’s only my opinion, which has been on the other side from the accepted opinions of WP Core developers before. lol That’s no problem to me.

EDIT – On second look, I disagree with my first paragraph.. maybe old age is setting in.. the site does actually give the impression that it could be something created by a core developer to help make things easier and it does tell someone to go to WordPress and change the link to the site being used. Which will change the formatting of content. I would have to agree with Jan, it is disturbing.. My apologies for the first paragraph.. There is no clear statement that the site is not in any way a part of www.ads-software.com. And that would be an issue that might be a challenged practice. Because it can be interpreted as being something offered by WordPress and supported by WordPress.

What I would like to see is more discussion about the trademark of WordPress. The “W” is used in advertising all across the internet, and it hasn’t been challenged. That disturbs me when I see someone say on a forum thread that it isn’t allowed, but WP doesn’t do anything about it.

This thread, on the other hand is using WordPress to attempt to advertise (in a cleaver way) both the service and the website. I don’t think this topic belongs on WordPress anything, anywhere. Again, just my opinion.. FWIW

Hi Seth,

I will be happy to take a look at what is going on if you contact me at the site. I don’t want to get into a conflict with the mods here by asking information within these forums or providing email addresses here.

If you contact me and I don’t respond for a few hours, I will be out for a while. I will get back with you as soon as I return.

Hi @seth Riley,

Unless you are using the same version of WPST as the OP, the issue is not the same.

Would you mind please opening your own thread. This is something www.ads-software.com is encouraging people to do. And it helps with bug tracking, if there is a bug to fix. You might have seen the same request made of the person who posted right above the posts you just made.

When posting your query, please include the version of WPST you are using and the version of WP you are using. And also please include whether you are using WP Single site or Multisite.

Thanks

@automatedkid,

No problem at all. I too sometimes take a while to respond, as I get busy. Some of my conversations carry on over the course of weeks, and sometimes months, because both myself and the other party are involved in multiple tasks. So, that would be nothing new to have some time pass between responses. It doesn’t bother me. If it doesn’t bother you, that will work just fine.

Oh, and I didn’t take your comment personal. I just took the opportunity to shed some light on a rather obvious observation others may have if they visit my site as well. lol

Take care and feel free to stop by.

Kindly

Just a note, if you don’t mind.

My site doesn’t actually have a lot of “activity”, and I don’t mind that. What goes on in the background is what keeps me busy. I don’t get a chance to post that often, as I am quite busy with clients and a forum I contribute to most of the time. If not that, I’m busy thinking about what could be done with WP. My mind gets going sometimes, and my site just doesn’t get to the point it probably should be. Having said that, I know a few websites that are doing what the owners want them to do because of the activity I have been involved with. And that is most important to me.

I will be happy to talk with you @automatedkid when you get to the point you want to be and want to discuss anything about multisite.

Yes, I have been involved in the development of WP Symposium Toolbar Plugin for a while. Although, I am not the coder and I don’t get too involved with the support here on WordPress.

However, this plugin is the culmination of ideas I have been interested in for quite some time.

I do enjoy exchanging ideas about WordPress, what possible things can be done with WP and pushing the “limits” to whatever extent possible. So, when you are ready, stop on by. I will be happy to talk with you.

Hi @juriss,

Would you mind please opening your own thread. This is something www.ads-software.com is encouraging people to do. And it helps with bug tracking, if there is a bug to fix.

My opinion is my opinion. I rate based on what I see and the overall practices I have seen for quite a while.

I’m not frustrated at all. I don’t use your software anymore. And as a result, my blood pressure has dropped to well within the acceptable limits. lol

I do, however help others who do use your software.

Thanks for your reply.

What are options, if not decisions? Really, splitting hairs..

But, yes. I am well aware of it being much more involved offering admin options. I appreciate your response but as I said, without options, your plugin falls short of what I would expect with so many different things your plugin does.

What is even more confusing about the rhetoric that this change is targeted toward the “majority” of WordPress users who are not developers is, if that were really true, the option would have been placed in the settings to turn it on or off.

The more I hear about who the change was targeted toward, the more this change appears to be influenced by hosting companies who may want to charge a little extra for a daily backup service so that if something goes wrong, all they have to do is roll back to a previous backup and not have to troubleshoot the broken site when an update fails. I know that’s just my imagination, but from what I have seen being said, it wouldn’t be that far fetched.

Because if what is being said is really true, then WordPress wouldn’t hard code something that potentially has a horrific effect on sites if something goes wrong, and is something that takes someone with some technical knowledge to turn it off. And it will take a lot of technical knowledge to fix if something goes wrong with one of the automatic updates. Because the people this change is targeted at won’t have made a daily backup, most likely. I guess if the service that does the repair is charging by the hour, it makes sense. No, I don’t buy the rhetoric.

Yes, I think we all got that rhetoric. However, you ignore the fact that many who are not “developers”, should have the option to either turn off or on these automatic updates without having to either modify any file, or have to install a plugin.

What I want to know is, how many WordPress support people and core developers are going to jump into action and assist those “majority” of users this was targeted at, when an update fails and takes down their site(s).

After all, you are talking about people who, from the viewpoint I have seen, are people without a clue. Or, that is the way it seemed to have been put in the posts I have seen.
