Dan Griffiths

I’m still developing it, although my primary focus is now MinePress. I honestly didn’t know that there was an issue with McV, but I’ll have it fixed pretty quickly!

WordPress allows both usernames and display names. My plugin likely won’t be the only one to have issues with spaces in a username… while I could probably rewrite it to handle this issue, the recommended way to do it is to not use spaces in a username, but to set the display name to include the space. For example, on my website, my username is dgriffiths (so my author page would be /authors/dgriffiths), but my display name (which is displayed on the site itself) is Dan Griffiths.

Your actual username has a space in it?

That was fixed, as far as I’ve been able to determine… Is your version of the plugin up to date? What is the actual link that’s failing?

Minor update… MinePress now has an integrated Minecraft login notifier… if the Minecraft login server is down, let your users know before they try to log in!

@creep_freak… it’s not quite as extensive as I want (I’m hoping for at least two more modules for first release), but technically it could be released as soon as I finish the website.

@creep_freak… MinePress itself doesn’t supply a forum, but it is designed to work natively with, and integrate into, both bbPress and BuddyPress. Thanks for the words of encouragement! ??

Are you using the standard login page (/wp-admin) or the BP login widget? McV only works on the standard login page. However, when MinePress is released (it’s coming up quick by the way…), it will support login through widgets as well.

Another update, and a lot of changes…

• Reworked the file structure for the backend to make things cleaner
• Made a number of changes to the backend framework to improve stability
• Fixed an issue where minotar (Minecraft avatar) failed to restore the default ‘unknown’ avatar when deactivated
• Fixed an issue which caused the validator to suffer intermittent failures on the minecraft.net call (also applied to Minecraft Validator)
• Deprecated all use of CURL in favor of wp_remote_get() (also applied to Minecraft Validator)
• Cleaned up the Buycraft Integration CSS

I’ve used BlackBox for a long time, but after seeing no updates in close to two years, and no responses on the forums, I finally wrote my own debugger. I’m not going to link directly to it (don’t know how the WP gods would feel about that… they may not even like this post), but it’s called Debugged! and you can find out more on my website.

Hey Victor! Sounds to me that’s something I’ve already got built into MP, although I could be misunderstanding you. If you want to talk about it (or hiring me for anything else ?? ) feel free to contact me offsite! Since WP doesn’t like me posting my email here, stop by my website (it’s on my profile page) and just use the contact form there.

Plugin updated!

Ah! Now it makes sense! I did indeed forget about author URLs… I’ll have to fix that.

Was this a BuddyPress install or something? Standard WP doesn’t have frontend profiles…

Still a bit curious as to what the problem was, but since you’ve solved your issue, I’m marking this as resolved.
