I’ll get a fix for that into the next release.

In the meantime, disabling activity stream posts in the BP Album+ backend by setting the “Post to activity stream” to “No” and clicking “Save” will probably resolve the problem

You can change ANY text string in BP Album+ by editing the bp-album.pot file in the plugin’s main directory.

Have a look at this example where one of our users has translated the plugin to French:

https://bp-fr.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/group-documents/24/1270141787-languages-fr_FR.zip

By default, windows will try to open it as a PowerPoint file. Make sure you open / edit it in windows notepad.

^F^

In the administration backend for the plugin, set “Max images visible only to members in a members album” to “0” and click “Save”

This will disable the option and remove it from the selection list.

^F^

Okay, you’ve definitely found a defect.

Thanks!

We’ll get somebody working on a fix within the next 24 hours.

Glad to hear you got it working!

The other plugin was probably hooking into the main template and adding a couple of extra <div>’s somewhere, and then that probably caused the main template to expand and give that gap.

Yes, debugging BP installations is fun …lol

It sounds like you’re trying to use a BP Album+ template tag inside a template that doesn’t belong to the plugin.

Post a copy of the template file you’re trying to edit and I’ll take a look at it.

The problem is probably being caused by the modifications you made to the default theme, and is likely inside the CSS stylesheet “default.css”.

BP Album+ cannot change the layout of your site. It sends the web browser a bunch of data wrapped in CSS styling tags. The web browser then takes your template’s CSS stylesheet, and uses the styling rules inside it to arrange the data on the screen.

Fully explaining how to debug your website’s CSS file would take hours to write, so unfortunately I can’t do that here …but I can point you to some tools that will make your job much easier:

Use Firebug + FireFox to analyze your CSS

Hope this helps!

The font you are using to display text on your website does not contain a glyph for one of the characters in the image’s title, which BP Album+ has automatically filled-in for you based on the image’s filename.

Let’s say your filename was “test^^image.jpg” but you were using a font that does not have a glyph for the “^” symbol. The web browser would display the name as “test??image.jpg” where “?” is that little diamond shape with the question mark in it.

The plugin is working “as designed”, and the “symbols” are not any kind of error. If you find the “?” symbols annoying, just change them to something else in image’s “title” box.

I’m glad to hear that BP Album+ is working properly for you!

With regards to your other question, much of the HTML and CSS you see is generated by the BuddyPress PHP code. It’s not stored in an actual file.

If you’re having trouble with that, you should visit https://www.buddypress.org and go to the “Forums” section.

There are hundreds of people there that can help you.

@jpittssr – I went over and had a look at your site. Based on what you’ve said, it sounds like you have several different problems on your production server that are interacting with each other.

First, check that the version of BP Album+ that you are running on your server says 0.1.6 in the admin screen. If it does not, delete the BP Album directory in the plugins folder, download 0.1.6 from the WP plugin server, and activate it , deactivate it, then re-activate it.

This fixes 99% of user problems 99% of the time.

If that doesn’t work, try changing the name of the “stub” in the admin menu, and if you are manually configuring links in your template, *make sure you have the name of the link to BP Album+ correct*.

If you still can’t get it working, then you have to go step by step and figure out “What is different between my dev server and my production server?” – because if you have BP Album+ working on your dev server, it is just some small setup difference that is preventing it from working on your production server.

I will see if I can reproduce this problem on my end.

Thanks!
