Plugin Icons Don’t Appear In User’s Profile Settings

Fair enough. I mentioned I’m quite new to this, but I’ll venture an opinion for what it’s worth. I was having a ball building my website; WP, Customizr Pro,various plugins etc. are all well-documented and familiarization comes readily. Youzer seemed to be what I needed so I bought it. But the Youzer Panel is a battle to comprehend and the accompanying documentation seems to lag behind the updates. Now this. Having come this far with it I would like to continue and if I can uncover a solution I will. In the meantime it’s back to the drawing board, first stop buddyuser.com.

Thanks for your time.

One potential solution would be to create your own custom sidebar area in the Youzer profile page. However this requires a bit of coding:

You could try adding this to your child-themes functions.php:

add_action( 'youzer_profile_before_content', 'tdwnyc_add_widget_to_profile_top' );

function tdwnyc_add_widget_to_profile_top() {
	
	if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar("bpphw-profile-top-sidebar") ) {
		echo '<div class="youzer-profile-top-sidebar">';
			dynamic_sidebar('twwnyc-profile-top-sidebar');
		echo '</div>';
	}

}

function tdwnyc_activate_widget_area() {
	
    if ( bp_get_theme_package_id() == 'legacy' ) {
		
        if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {

            register_sidebar(array(
	        'name' => 'Youzer Profile Top'
	        'id'  => 'tdwnyc-profile-top-sidebar',
	        'before_widget' => '<div class = "widgetizedArea">',
	        'after_widget' 	=> '</div>',
	        'before_title' 	=> '<h3>',
                'after_title' 	=> '</h3>',
            ));
        }
    }
}

add_action( 'widgets_init', 'tdwnyc_activate_widget_area' );

I’ve not tested it but it should add a new widget area called Youzer Profile Top, and you can try adding widgets there.

Hey, thank you. I’ll hang on to this. It’s far beyond my current ability though.

Tell you what, when I get time I’ll see if it works and if so I’ll see if I can add support.

Much appreciated.

Actually now I’ve looked at it I think this is a bug with Youzer – for some reason when Youzer is loaded nothing added to widget areas displays. With 2017 I found if I had the right mix of widgets then stuff was actually displayed. Got to say the way it was displayed was a real mess so there may be other issues to deal with but since you’ve paid for support you should go and let Youzer know they have an issue.

Don’t use the above code, there’s a , missing and it will crash your site. If you get Youzer to fix this I’ll work with you to make sure the widgets are in just the right place for you.

That’s great. Thank you very much. I’ll get back to you wheen I hear from Youzer

Hello again,

I heard back from Youzer. They tell me your plugins are incompatible with their product. Whether that applies all other plugins or just yours wasn’t made clear. I’m waiting for an answer to that and other questions. Their support is somewhere in the UK and it can take two days for a reply. I’ll keep you posted.

BTW,this topic being marked ‘resolved’, should I continue contacting you here?

That’s interesting, I tried several widgets including the WordPress posts widget, none showed up. It would be good to know if there’s any change I can make to ensure compatibility.

Keep posting here, I’ll reply.

They got back to me real fast this time. I did give them a piece of my mind though. They were very apologetic. I’m told the Lead Developer will be informed and I’ll have ‘answers and solutions’ within 24hrs.
