Also, if this gets resolved, I’ll need to change the button from “message” in buddypress to “chat”.

Found it! the sidebar is now automatically hidden, hit the two arrows in the top right to reveal it again. My chosen theme works fine after all.

Found it for myself at least. . . the sidebar is now automatically hidden, hit the two arrows in the top right to reveal it again.

How did you get the sidebar to be hidden? Up until this latest update, I wanted the sidebar hidden on a different subsite but couldn’t do it. It was there permanently. Of course since this latest update, the sidebar for me is now flashing out of site after it appears for a short moment. I started my own thread on that one. But I’d love to learn how you got the sidebar to hide in the first place.

That’s mostly fixed. Now I get:

I had tried the save step, and also tried going to settings>permalinks and hitting save there, because many plugin issues I’ve faced ended up with that as the fix. Still couldn’t post. I deactivated your plugin and suddenly I could post again.

Because of the other prior existing sites on my multi-site setup, I guess I’ll have to figure out how to sort of keep different communities separate while still seeing each other’s member details, groups, and wall activity. Gotta brainstorm how that overlap will work as it can go one direction without causing a problem, but not so much the other way.

1) This is on a subsite and I activated all buddypress plugins necessary for what I am wanting to do on this subsite.

2) This is being added to a multisite where there are 4 other long-time live, active sites. I can’t have those going down to troubleshoot this. I only deactivated the plugins that were not globally-activated. NO buddypress plugins were globally-activated, nor the majority of the plugins I want it interfacing with.

3) This is buddypress, not buddyboss. I have one buddyboss-related plugin and that is global search.

I just created a new user and it too can’t post in the activity feed.

Also getting: There was an error saving group details. Please try again. When I try to create a group in the new community.

Thanks. It appears I’m the latest person to find the issue since 2017. I added the spelled out country/province name problem that I was seeing. Otherwise, thanks for adding this discussion to that thread over there. I’m surprised it hasn’t been fixed since then though when they knew about this 5 years ago. . .

Asking for a screenshot AFTER I disabled the plugin and deleted the information is a little late in the game. But yes, the country and province were spelled out. I am not the one coding woocommerce either. The people you need to be talking to regarding how information is displayed are the woocommerce developers AND Taxjar. Taxjar needs to be told that tax information must be presented in a way bookkeepers and accountants will recognize, and “BC Tax” is not a valid tax entry!

But I’m not re-enabling the plugin to recreate the tests for the sake of a screenshot. I have my site working the way I need it to manually now.

That’s weird, especially seeing both the country and the province spelled out. Initially that royally threw me for a loop as I tried to copy what the automated system had done only to be told no rates matched. Eventually I decided to ignore the way the automated system displayed the info and go with the instructions (they don’t match), and I could manually set up my taxes for Canadian provinces.

But now to hear that whatever your third party service is calling BC tax, is our PST. . . I guess you don’t get many Canadian users, because this should seriously be changed to actually say PST. We have two taxes in this province, not one. Some provinces only have one, so mistakenly referring to them as ON tax for example, would sort of work because ON only has HST, but it’s still not accurate.

Please speak with your external tax rating service about their presentation of Canadian taxes. While I fixed my issue by doing it manually, if Woocommerce is going to offer an automated method, it has to be more accurately presented. Accountants up here will look just as confused as I was and demand clarity if they are shown what your automated system showed me.

Otherwise, I’ll mark this as resolved. . . as misrepresented as it is. . .

I can bring up the strange occurrence, although as mentioned, I eventually discovered the need to enter all details in code, not spelled out. I’ll mention that over in the other forum.

I think I figured it out. . . The automated system spelled out the country and province while manually, I have to use ONLY 2char codes.

I found this: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/gst-hst-businesses/charge-collect-specific-situations/suppliers-publications.html

But the woocommerce tax area won’t let me set it up. I disabled automated taxes, then went to the zero rated tab to enter the PST tax in and was told no matching tax rates. But when I went to the standard tax tab, there were two entries there from my testing with the automated tax plugin, and a strange entry in the row: BC Tax. . . huh??? BC has PST and GST, we don’t have “BC Tax”. . .

According to the above link, I charge GST on book sales, but not PST. How on earth do I set that up when Woocommerce thinks BC has some sort of BC Tax?! For provinces that charge HST, will I run into the same erroneous name? province-tax???

Thanks, have updated and will test out this week.
