I realized that almost any PHP file with spaces outside could be causing this problem. It turned out to be one of the plugins we had installed (actually I think it turned out to be a few). I went through, de-installed all plugins, checked that it worked, then started reinstalling them incrementally to figure out which was causing the problem. Then I went through their php files and took out all spaces outside of <?php ?>. It’s a bit of a pain but it worked.

I’m having almost exactly the same error:

error on line 2 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

But I looked in functions.php to see if there were any extra spaces before/after and there aren’t. Do you know if there’s something else that could be causing this?

Actually, someone in my office figured this out. The thing that was causing the problem was the function register_image_sizes() in badgeos.php in the main section of the folder. We changed the size to 300×300 and it looks fine now.

The other thing is that it reduces my thumbnails to a 100×100 file but the default image still uses its original file. Would it be possible to find a way to do the same with user generated thumbnails?

Thanks! Also new update on the activity front: it seemed like it was working briefly when I increased the number of posts permitted to 6, and continued working for twenty minutes or so when I decreased it back to 3, then stopped. (And I could not get it to start working again, although it’s possible it would have if it had been given more time–it seems like it was taking a little while to kick in, which is why I thought it hadn’t worked the last time.) I put in your recommended alteration and it seems to be working perfectly now!

I have another question, hopefully the last one. I’ve messed with the program to make it so that the submission content shows up next to the badge rather than the description of the achievement. But the problem that is arising is that the wp_oembed_get() looks really strange–it’s taking on my theme’s css rather than the twitter/youtube, etc. css. Do you know why that is happening? I really appreciate all of your help with this.

Thanks! I’ll let you know how it works when I have the chance to implement it. I have another question on another topic: how are a submission and an achievement related to one another? Specifically, is there a way that I can get the $achievement_id if all I have is the $submission_id?

Just tested that at 3 and 4 comments in link moderation and it didn’t really change anything for our non-super admin users. Thanks for your work on the issue!

Sorry I don’t really have a place to test that on a single site. Based on the constraints of our timeline and the needs of our users, we’re probably going to just not use the activity stream at all–although using the activity stream would be ideal. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Sorry–it doesn’t post to the activity stream when an achievement is earned as a subscriber, contributor, author, editor, or admin. It does post for super admin.

Hi MonkimoE, have you been having this problem with a multisite? I’ve been having the same problem, which I posted about here

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/achievements-not-showing-up-in-activity-stream-for-some-users?replies=3

before I realized that you were discussing it here. I noticed that it works for some users but not for others and have found that it works for users with superadmin privileges but not for others (even just admin for the site that it was on). Obviously, this is not a fix, but maybe it will help with figuring out what the problem is? But I’d be curious to know if it’s just a problem with multisite or if it’s a problem for everyone.

new update: once I changed the status of the non-working account to super admin the badges started to display on the activity stream. For obvious reasons, I’d rather this be possible without making a member a super-admin of our site.

Maybe I should also note that the badge does show up on the achievements page for both users and is working fine, so I know the badge has been awarded.

I’m having a somewhat similar problem where it loads when I click back but it loads one video over and over again for every single post, rather than each post’s individual post. It only happens in Chrome. Is anyone else having this problem? Have you found a solution?
