Hi Jeremy, thanks for your help. I actually figured out the problem by accident while trying to put the widget back in so you can see it. This time, it worked perfectly. It took me a minute to figure out what was different:

Yesterday, I had made the Title field in the widget blank, because that’s the way I actually want it (I don’t think a twitter widget needs any introduction). But, not having a Title apparently causes the weird problem where the sidebar pushes down the main content. I found that if I put ” ” in the Title field, I was able to achieve what I wanted.

Of course, it doesn’t seem like leaving out Title text should cause such a strange result, but hopefully my work-around will help someone else.

Oh, I figured it out. It turns out that I hadn’t completed the WordFence cache set up steps, so the caching hadn’t actually been turned on yet!

Hope that helps someone else.

I’m getting the same error. Any ideas?

Error occurred while clearing cache
A total of 1 errors occurred while trying to clear your cache. The last error was: Could not create a lock file /home8/purchau4/public_html/community-staging/releases/20150401190721/content/wfcache/clear.lock to clear the cache.

Well, I went ahead and bought the Add-on package in the hopes that it would allow me to override the messages listed in my previous message. The add-on package does make it very easy to customize the emails and error messages generated by New User Approve, but it unfortunately doesn’t help me edit/override the account activation messages and emails already being generated by BuddyPress. Those are the ones that are most confusing when combined with New User Approve, because they give the impression that the account has been fully authorized, when it hasn’t yet. It would be very helpful if the New User Approve add-on could provide an override interface for the BuddyPress messages, but I can understand why it doesn’t.

My mistake, it appears the plugin is working, but it fires after the user is told that an activation email is on its way and after the activation email is sent. Perhaps that is fine if I can modify all of the messages that the user is getting so that it’s clear what all has to happen before they will have successfully run the registration gauntlet. Does the paid Add-ons package allow me to edit each of the following messages currently being displayed to the user?

User sees this message after submitting their registration:
“Check Your Email To Activate Your Account!
You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.”

Then user receives this email:
“Thanks for registering! To complete the activation of your account please click the following link:
https://exampleurl.org/activate/675e9ea5fde4a71e6161daee7c15d1cb/”

When they click that link, they get a message that their account is now activated:
“Your account is now active!
Your account was activated successfully! You can now log in with the username and password you provided when you signed up.”

But, if they try to login, they get this error message:
“ERROR: Your account is still pending approval.”

Sorry, I meant BuddyPress. BuddyPress is what is handling the registration form and confirmation emails. It seems like somehow I need to get this plugin to take over in place of BuddyPress, right?

What are the tweaks you had to make to get it to work?

I have the exact same question.

Kozzmen, or anyone else, am I correct that if I always remember to change the users’ Forum Role to “Blocked” at the same time as using this plugin, that that would do the trick? I know that’s not ideal, but could suffice for now. I’d be happy to pay for a plugin that solved this problem automatically!

marking as resolved because the problem is not unique to this plugin.

Apologies. I discovered that on this site, I in fact do have trouble uploading files larger than 1MB via the WP Media Loader. Strange, because the php.ini settings are already at 50MB. Looks like I have some server admin investigation ahead of me. ??

I just tried updating my plugin installation with the code in /trunk and it took care of the Askimet problem – but now the textarea fields are shaped funny. They are long and skinny. Maybe I made a mistake in the process of doing the manual update. I don’t normally do it that way. Just thought I’d let you know in case it wasn’t user error.

I think this must be the problem that I’m having. At least, I can’t find any other way to explain the fact that Google hasn’t indexed my site. But, I don’t appear to have any of the offending lines mentioned above in my header. Is there something else in my header that could be doing it:

<head profile=”https://gmpg.org/xfn/11″&gt;
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />

<title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(‘version’); ?>” /> <!– leave this for stats –>

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> RSS Feed” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />

<style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>

<?php
// Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not
if ( !$withcomments && !is_single() ) {
?>
#page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/middle900-<?php bloginfo(‘text_direction’); ?>.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; background-position: center;}
<?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
#page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/middle900-ltr.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; background-position: center; }
<?php } ?>

</style>

<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>

Comment out these lines towards the end of the index.php file in wp-admin:

<div id=”devnews”></div>

<div id=”planetnews”></div>

Still doesn’t work for me in 2.3. Same problem, no icon. Very frustrating.

I figured it out. I needed to install and turn-on runPHP to execute the PHP script within a Page. But, that also necessitated re-writing the installation script so that all the PHP logic happened within one PHP instance:

<?php
if (function_exists(‘get_recent_comments’)) {
print “<h2>”;
_e(‘Recent Comments:’);
print “</h2>

“;
get_recent_comments();
print “

“;
}

if (function_exists(‘get_recent_trackbacks’)) {
print “<h2>”;
_e(‘Recent Trackbacks:’);
print “</h2>

“;
get_recent_trackbacks();
print “

“;
}
?>

Works great. Exactly like I wanted.
