Thanks for the detailed response, David!

You answered my question. I don’t want to inundate my friend with anything too terribly complex, just more efficient (quicker ‘item by item’ manual alteration)

It seems that MLA DOES make it a bit more efficient in that regard, with the Quick Edit feature! Not *AS* efficient as the other plugin, but a heck of a lot more so than vanilla WP!

I’ll close this up.

Thanks again, and I’ll be using this plugin on all my projects!

Thanks for your reply Michael!

Although, I have to admit, not being a coder myself I am not really sure what to do with that in order to integrate it into the current plugin?

Is that github code added to the badgeos.php?

If so, I am assuming then the code to display this new function in a page/widget/etc would be [prefix_badgeos_user_achievements_shortcode] or [custom_badgeos_user_achievements]?

Ok, here we go:

I’ve looked through our plugins and we are not using WordPress SEO, and as far as I can TELL, no other plugins that would disable author archives.

So, I am going to try updating the plugin to 3.1 today and see if it has any effect.

Paul & David:

Been away for much of the weekend, I see there is some new info here that may help the issue!

I will be posting tomorrow with feedback and results.

One final update Paul:

I attempted reverting the Buddypress Default theme and the issue seems to have disappeared.

Unfortunately, we’re really committed to the theme we use currently, so I guess it’s a matter of looking into the coding of the theme and trying to root out whatever the issue may be.

I should have thought of this straight away, but anyway, there you have it.

The same conclusion I came to, unfortunately ??

I am attempting to do some testing with specific themes and plugins disabled to see if the problem is there.

Hopefully I’ll isolate the issue, it would be a massive setback to not be able to use this great plugin you’ve created.

Thanks again for your help Paul.

I deleted the usermeta key and the popups ceased.

Went and created a new achievement with different “event” criteria, the achievement worked and the box appears, but the persistent popup problem is STILL occurring.

I’ve sent you an email Paul.

Thanks for the continued support.

Would it be advantageous to you to have an account on our network to see it for yourself? If so, I’d be happy to set you up. Just let me know.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the download link.

I’ve done as you suggested, and I think we’re making progress!

Now the Achievement Unlock box ‘goes away’ if I click outside of it and I am then able to browse on the desired page normally.

However, anytime the page is reloaded or a new page is accessed, the same Achievement Unlock box reappears. This happens indefinitely until I either set the achievement to “draft” status or deactivate the plugin.

So the Unlock “focus” issue seems to be resolved, but it’s still reappearing in an odd fashion.

Any thoughts?
(THANK you for your assistance)

If you’re interested in taking a look at our back-end to see any potential theme/plugin conflicts, just let me know and we can communicate on twitter/skype to make that happen.

We’ve been looking forward to Achievements for such a long time,, it truly would take our network to the next level, it’s a bummer that our site is breaking it ??

Made those code changes.

Problem persists, unfortunately.

The Achievement Unlocked box appears correctly, but any attempt to close is unsuccessful, and if you navigate to another page (by entering another URL in the site, or by clicking ‘see other achievements’) you are taken to the appropriate page, BUT the Unlocked box re-appears and won’t go away.

Here you go Paul:

a:1:{i:10577;s:0:””;}

Yes, I can tell you the value of a database item.
Let me know what you need (I will be out this evening, but will get it to you asap)

In regards to your other questions:

If you happen to be sitting on the main Activity Stream when the achievement unlock box pops up, hitting f5/reload simply reloads the Activity Stream with the box STILL there.

If you attempt to click any other navigation items on the “white out” portion of the page behind the box, you aren’t able to since the box has focus.

If you click the “see other achievements” box you get taken to this url
https://OURSITE.com/author/USERNAME/achievements/

And when that page loads, you cannot see any of the content, because the unlock box loads on top of everything and once again you cannot close it nor take focus away from it.

Nothing causes it to 404 or open in a new window. It just reloads the same url’s in a neverending loop seemingly.

Thanks for the response, Paul!

That answers my questions about the first issue very well.

I am glad you think the second idea is a good one, and the fact that it’s not too difficult to implement is great! I would be humbled and very appreciative if you took the time to look into it for a future release.

Thanks again.
