ID Argyll

I found a work around of sorts, for those that are interested – at least it worked for me.

The plugin saves the data, it just doesn’t upload the photo and I’m not enough of a php programmer to fix it. So, I created the user, filling in the necessary info, especially the First, Last and Nickname areas. But I only checked the Nickname for now. Then save the changes.

Then I edit the same user. In the URL bar, you’ll see something like this:

https://www.yourblogURL/wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=86&wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fusers.php%3Fpaged%3D2

That 86 number in the example above, will be the user ID you need. Name the photo xx.filetype, where xx is the user ID number and filetype is .jpg, .gif or .png. Now upload the photo you want to use to the wp-content/profile-pics directory. The author of the plugin did a good job, especially naming the photo to the user ID – it makes it easy.

Then go back to your profile edit page, and check the first and last name options. You should see the photo load. Then just save the changes again and you should be good. You may have to refresh the page if it doesn’t show up automatically, but that’s what worked for me.

I too really miss this since it stopped working. It would be nice if WP had a more native way to do the same thing.

But since they won’t, it would be nice if the author could look into it. <begging> ??

Nobody responded, which is quite unusual for these forums. But I’ve fixed the problem in a round about way.

Hmmm. I posted a reply, but it seems not to be here.

You’re the man! It was indeed the slider (header image changer I was using) that was causing the problem. Thanks for suggesting that.

As for the video on your site, it was informative. I’m on a Mac, so I can’t run WAMP. But I will definitely take your advice and set up a child theme.

Thanks again.

I have put #access as was in the twenty ten theme. I don’t know how to make a child theme, but that does seem like the way to go.

Still looking for help.

Oh, I’ve tried several other edits to the style.css that I’ve found and they do indeed center the menu, but then it relocates above the header. Very frustrating.

I just did that and found out that the Max Banner Ads plugin causes the malfunction. So I’ve left it deactivated and email them about it.

Thanks for your suggestion. It’s good to have search working again, but now I don’t have banners…Got to get that fixed.

Thanks,

Thanks fryewiles, you just mde my life easier.
