Ok @ultimatemembersupport

Are you offering any alternative form of support for the extension I paid for? I was directed here via your website.

Ok info for others facing this issue….

It was definitely a folder permissions issue, chmod wasn’t solving the issue because the linux user had insufficient privileges.

Therefore, my workaround was to change wp-config.php to point the UPLOADS folder to another location by adding this line:

define( ‘UPLOADS’, ‘/home/user1/site1_uploads’);

user1 and site1_uploads are just an example names… the point was that the folder was in a location completely outside the site itself in a location which that user could access.

The alternative of course is to get deeper into configuring the users permissions, although for the sake of just uploading profile photos that was good enough for me.

When I upload a profile photo, the upload status bar goes to 100%, although the apply button remains disabled.

Kinda stumped! But will keep going while in the meantime hoping someone replies with the magic answer ??

Unfortunately no – this is my point

Having two different profile forms only addresses the different fields issue when a user is looking at their own profile.

When one role is looking at another via the member directory, they only see fields based on their own role, not the role of the user they are viewing.

And since my site is primarily a member directory this was a huge concern and I’ve had to implement an alternative in this case. Regardless, I wanted to raise this for you because I see this as an essential issue to address in future versions.

Hi there,

I had a similar problem – although it was as you say… I didn’t put the section name ?? Just noting this to hopefully help others…

Just to be sure I have explained this correctly… so far, what I managed to achieve is…

If I use the privacy settings (only show extra fields for Role 2) then Role 1 can’t see these fields when they view a Role 2 profile in the member directory.

If I turn the privacy settings off, then Role 1 can see the extra fields in their own profile which I don’t want because the extra fields don’t apply to them.

Yep definitely nothing wrong with plugin! Turns out Opera has a spell checking function which was turned on.

And just in case anyone else reads this…
Go to Opera Settings – Browser – Dictionaries – untick Enable Spell Checking

Well… it would appear the auto-correct is Opera Browser not WordPress or Ultimate Member.

When I open the site in Chrome there is no auto-correct…

Well…. here I am 7 hours later after a sleep. Without changing anything the theme is now operating correctly.

For more than 4 hours I had the CSS type issues in the WP Dashboard and the Themes. After hours of sifting through forums trying all sorts of solutions, then suddenly the site went offline which I suspect was because of me changing the DNS A Record from my domain host to my digital ocean servers IP. Then… I wake this morning to everything working fine ??

So… for anyone else out there who is head-butting their monitor at 3am after a new install, how about heading off to bed and checking again tomorrow morning? ??

?? now DNS problems… will try again tomorrow…
