Reflecting

Thank you for the specifics. Do you think it could be an issue of too many plugins trying to call for level specific information at the same time in general? Wondering too about having different plugins all accessing the user profile area…For example, the gd bbPress Toolbox adds a signature form, the sms plugin adds a phone number field, the buddypress of course is integrated, and of course S2 Members. Not sure…just guessing.

I think it was a CDN issue as I think I finally got it resolved now. As far as the plugin conflict goes, the my developer who helped us to integrate the SMS plugin that we have in place currently couldn’t see what the issue was either. He said it would help if he knew what specific global variable was not being referenced so he could investigate further. Do you have more specific information for me? We really want to be able to use this plugin, but just can’t currently. I am looking into another SMS solution, but it would also need to be integrated into the site and I’m not 100% positive what the issue was to begin with that caused the conflict.

Ok, I’m still having issues with those crazy default badges in my media library. Now, the image looks like it’s broken, but I’m still seeing a whole bunch of placeholders for these images within the media library. The name of each image is af2e834c1e23ab30f1d672579d61c25a_155 except the _155 par is unique. Why would these still be in my media library even when I’ve selected delete permanently multiple times? It’s like they keep getting reloaded too, and I’m completely puzzeled because I’ve got the BadgesOS completely uninstalled. Is there leftover stuff in the database still? How do I get rid of it?

I contacted the plugin developer and hopefully he can help. As a note, and not sure if it’s related but on the live site it auto populates several of the generic thumb badge icons into the media library every time I add a featured image. It was doing this from the start of using the plugin, and still is doing it even with the plugin uninstalled. Should I open up a separate topic on this? I thought maybe this had to do with my creating an achievement level called steps and the badges using steps as well. Not sure. I just discovered it was still doing that (adding the extra images in.) I’m going through and deleting each permanently, but they keep getting added back in.

Thank you so much for all your work on this. That’s very disappointing, though since the SMS is a really big feature that our Gold Members and Above pay for. We can’t lose that service. I wonder if upgrading that would solve some issues. Are you at all familiar with the SMS plugin at all? I will talk to the plugin author to see if there is something he can do to make it work. Can you tell me what the exact issue is so I can tell him or did you not find the conflict per say?

Ok, you are set. You can change that level as much as desired. Bronze is the first level (matches with WordPress Subscriber level) and we have three others above. Silver, Gold, and Diamond. I just put in “badges” as your password and the name you requested for the username. You are a Bronze member.

As another note. How can I ensure that when I re-install the BadgesOS plugin and Community addon that it starts from scratch? As mentioned, I did delete all achievement types before deactivating and deleting the plugins. I used WP-OPtimize as well after that. Is there anything else I should do to ensure that it’s a totally fresh install with no old queries hanging around?

Ok, I can see your point. However, it doesn’t make sense then that it would be appearing for non-logged in users if that were the case. I thought the point of the achievements page was to show people what they have earned and what they could earn. So, potentially everyone has the chance to earn an achievement. Also, on my live, the slug was actually om-member-achievements or something like that. So it wasn’t straight achievements like is used on the testing platform. The results were the same, however.

Another thing that doesn’t make sense. I manually awarded a few users the badge because they actually had done the steps prior to my adding the plugin. In this case, the badge was for updating their profile picture and updating their profile content. It showed up under their achievements if I was logged in as admin, but if I was logged in as anything else it showed that they had earned no achievements.

I do see how I could have made a really big potential mistake on the live site. I created an achievement type of Steps. This seemed to conflict with the actual steps needed for earning each badge. So, every single step for earning a badge was showing up up in the achievements menu and as I continued to add a badge. I deleted all achievement types completely before deactivating and deleting the plugin files. Will I need to do anything else before installing again to ensure that it doesn’t still have the conflict? I’ll create a new name for the achievement type I want, of course.

Sorry, yes. I turned it off because we run a large membership site and I didn’t want to confuse anyone with it not working properly. I have it on a testing platform currently. I can give you details if you like. It’s a password protected site. It behaves in the exact same way. It appears if you are admin or not-logged in but at any other member level it says, “There are no steps to display”

I’m wondering if there are some conflicts now. I recently added BadgesOS and can view everything fine as Administer or Non Logged in, but when I try to view as one of the regular membership levels, it doesn’t show up properly. It says that no steps are available to display and doesn’t show any badges as being earned by anyone.

Oh, never mind. Blush! I didn’t realize the opacity is lowered intentionally until you earn the award. All working fine here.

Ok, an update. Now all badges have a lowered opacity. ?? Really clueless as to why. I’ve been viewing the site in dev mode and have been trying to figure out which styles are being called. Can’t get it. The site is https://www.optionmillionaires.com/om-community-achievements/

I’m actually still having this issue as well. As stated above, the first code snippet you gave works for the individual badge page, but it doesn’t work for the images listed under an individual members achievements. I’ve tried every combination I can think of with absolutely no change. I just downloaded the newest version of BadgesOS and am using the newest versions of both WordPress and BuddyPress. My theme is a child theme based on TwentyFourteen.

Wow, so that would be a huge amount of work. We have a couple hundred members and it would be nice if our “Good House Keeping Badge” for changing their avatar and updating their profile would be recognized. Another question related to this. We have several other admin who are experts on the site and would like to go ahead and award them specific level badges. How do you do this?

If by showing badges you mean to display a row of badge images beside the persona’s profile image or directly below their image and above the profile menu tabs that would be awesome!

Also, for the Leader board, does it show points only or can it show badges earned, too?
