Hi SmallScale,

Glad I could help. Thank you for bringing these issues to my attention.

Enjoy the plugin,
Graeme

Hi SmallScale,

I figured out the problem. I had used the add_user_meta() function in several places in the plugin to store information on who each members friend’s were and for some reason in WordPress 4.3, meta_keys no longer need to be unique. I ended up having 3 meta keys all named ‘friends-list’ but only one was actually being populated and the rest were empty. Thank you for being patient. Please download the newest update of this plugin (1.3) and let me know if this resolves your issue.

Thanks,
Graeme

Hi SmallScale,

I seem to be having the same problem. I think something with the newest version of WordPress (4.3) is not playing nice with my plugin so I will let you know when I have resolved the issue. Sorry about that! Thank you very much for pointing out this error and I will get things fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks again,
Graeme

Hi SmallScale,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I was unable to reproduce the error you were referring to but I think I have figured out what the problem is. Seeing as the error stated that my plugin was trying to redeclare an existing function, I assume you have a theme or plugin installed on your site that contains a function with the name ‘update_online_users_status’. I have now prefixed all of the functions in my plugin with ‘f4bbp’ (short for Friends For bbPress) to avoid this happening in the future. Please download the newest update of this plugin (1.2) and let me know if this resolves your isssue.

Thanks,
Graeme

Hi member011,

Thanks for the constructive criticism. The reason I worded my previous statement in that manner is because I actually did answer your question in my first comment. As a plugin developer, it looks bad for me to leave issues marked as unresolved because people that view the plugin will think that I am no longer supporting the plugin. I left my comment for a month to see if you would respond to let me know if I solved your problem before I decided to mark this issue as resolved. I thought it would be best if I left a second comment explaining why I marked the topic as resolved so that you and other people who run into this problem will understand why I marked it as resolved. I agree that it may have not been worded in the most polite manner but in my defence, I answered your question so I didn’t feel the need to tell you to go looking for the answer in a different thread when I already answered it in the same place you originally asked the question. Thank you for taking the time to write this though because it will definitely make me think about how to respond to users of my plugin in the future. I think the problem with reading text is it’s easy to take things the wrong way and my intentions with that last comment were to explain my actions, not to be mean.

Thanks again,
Graeme

I’m marking this topic as resolved seeing as it isn’t really a question about my plugin as it is a question about bbPress.

Hi member011,

This depends on how you have your permalinks set up.

If they are using the default structure then you can find users using:
https://yourwebsite.com/?bbp_user=USER_ID
Just replace https://yourwebsite.com with the actual name of your WordPress site and USER_ID with the id of the specific user you are looking for.

If they are using the post name structure or a custom structure then you can find users using:
https://yourwebsite.com/forums/user/USER_NAME/
Just replace https://yourwebsite.com with the actual name of your WordPress site and USER_NAME with the username of the specific user you are looking for.

Let me know if that cleared things up,
Graeme

Hi Peter,

Sorry about that, this is my first plugin so I’m still trying to figure out how everything works haha. Thanks for letting me know that it didn’t send you an update when I changed the code, I’ll make sure that happens in the future.

Enjoy the plugin,
Graeme

Hi Peter,

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I have fixed the errors so just download the updated version of the plugin and you should be good to go.

Let me know if the update gets rid of the warning on your end,
Graeme
