  • ISSUE: Photo display on activity feed not working.

    Posted by profmag on March 10, 2022 at 12:49 am

    Uploading a photo to the activity feed of a group does not yield an image. Instead, it creates a link using the name of the image file, but does not show a thumbnail. Clicking the link shows a black FB-style image page with no image.

    Apparently, it issue is that our shared hosting setup has a problem creating or resolving the symbolic links that Buddyboss is generating. I contacted BuddyBoss support and they informed me that their is a setting in BuddyBoss > Settings > Media that turns off the symbolic links feature.

    Also, they recommended I look at their “Media Permissions” component that adds a custom .htaccess to all media folders to prevent direct access. Hopefully, I’ll implement this soon.
