Thanks, but… The plug-ins you identified seem to be geared at someone who wants to build a contact form, not capture data and store it in a database. Am I missing something?

Justin,

While I appreciate your taking time to reply, had you read my post, you would have seen that I have already tried everything you mentioned.

Now marked

I am an idiot – I used the setting to change the login page – and then forgot that I had done this. Sigh. Old age…

While the above is true, it did not impact the original issue – I had the same problem when trying to login after having changed the admin username.

I just learned something: I looked at the record of failed logins and I see a huge number of failed attempts using the correct admin user name. How anyone figured this out is beyond me – will try changing the username to see if that helps.

The following bit of CSS seems to have addressed my question:

#gallery-2 .gallery-item:nth-child(-n+3) {
  display: none;
}

bump – still looking for an answer – please help

kartiks16 – Thank you for your offer to help. I have temporarily allowed access from India – please let me know if you are still denied access to the site.

I just accessed that link, without being logged in, without issue. Not sure what to suggest? (Actually, from what country are you trying access the site – we have it locked down pretty tightly…)

Thanks for the prompt and helpful feedback! I missed that setting since it is hidden by default – my bad.

tokkonopapa,

You have addressed my question – thank you.

I installed the plugin User Roles and Capabilities and added the capability upload_files to the custom roles. Once that was done, everything worked as expected. I then deactivated the plugin (based on one of the links you provided, I saw that this info is stored in the database, so the plugin does not need to stay active).

Please let me know if I can ever return the favor.

tokkonopapa,

Again, thank you for both the plugin and your help!

We have a clone of our live site and I was able to run some experiments. What I found was:

• With the ‘Prevent malicious file uploading’ set to ‘disable’, I was able to upload image
• With the ‘Prevent malicious file uploading’ set to ‘Verify file extension only’, I was unable to upload an image

• When I tried to to upload to the BuddyPress feed, there was a pop-up window that dais ‘File not supported”, but this is not the case.
• When I tried to upload via our custom BuddyPress extension, there was no error message, the page simply did not respond

Based on your comments, I looked at my user settings and found that the only two roles enabled for my user as both custom roles associated with our application. Specifically, no user of this system has the role of Author assigned. My guess is that without giving users the Author role, I will not be able to use this setting.

There are paid platforms that do not provide this level of tech support – both in terms of speed and thoroughness of replies. Thank you!

I will dig into this in about 36 hours – I suspect that with the guidance provided, my problem will be quickly resolved.

johnogg,

Sorry – my bad. For some reason, when I cut/paste single quotes, they sometimes get screwed up and become ` and something else. Anyway, that’s what happened – your fix did the job – thanks!
