Using eAccellerator or XCache is highly recommended as it can reduce the memory footprint 20-30x.

These won’t work until 1.3 as the priorities are not set so plugins can access them.

I don’t see much point in this, just use the activity stream loop and filter on ’new_blog_post’. BuddyPress used to have this functionality, but it is not very efficient and the activity stream handles it better.

Try

Doesn’t it list these in one of the steps on the installation wizard?

Change the user_status value in the wp_users table for those users to something like 99 and they will be hidden. That’s one somewhat hacky way of hiding them in the frontend.

Andy Peatling posted a reply on the forum topic Not a spammer but marked as a spammer?:   1 day, 13 hours ago

The users who register need to activate their accounts. They are not marked as a spammer (user_status = 1) they are marked as not active (user_status = 2). Until they activate their account they cannot log in.
If your emails are being marked as spam or phishing then this is likely something to do with the [...]

The default view for the member directory is ”active members”. This will only show users who have logged in since you activated BuddyPress, and are therefore considered active (last_activity meta is present). If you change the ordering to something else, the members will show.

Andy Peatling posted a reply on the forum topic Marking Blogs as Spam does not remove posts from activity stream:   2 days, 5 hours ago

This should probably happen. Even so, if you mark the blog author as a spammer, it will also mark the blog as spam and remove all the posts.

I’d imagine we can sneak slug editing into the next version – this would be a great plugin as a temporary solution? We could perhaps even merge the plugin into the core if someone is interested in building it.

Perhaps just keep the base profile field group to a minimum so there is very little on the signup page, then add a message to the activation page template telling the user to go fill out the rest of their profile.

Andy Peatling posted a reply on the forum topic Using bp_blogs_get_latest_posts() Returns An Error:   3 days, 4 hours ago

Much of the BuddyPress post and comment functions have been removed from 1.2.2 since they were no longer used at all. They are in the process of being moved to the back compat plugin. The activity stream tracks blogs, posts and comments and is a much better way of fetching the latest blog activity. Boone’s [...]

You can use the ”Users > Add New” menu to create users that do not need activating. There isn’t a way to activate a user account as an admin right now, unless you edit the users DB table and change the user_status from 2 to 0.

Sounds like your database tables were not installed.

Andy Peatling posted a reply on the forum topic Very Slow Server Response With BuddyPress:   3 days, 12 hours ago

Strange, 1.2 is significantly faster that previous versions, less than half the DB hits.

Andy Peatling posted a reply on the forum topic bp 1.2.2.1 new users unable to login:   3 days, 12 hours ago

Users must activate their accounts before they can log in. They will be sent an email with a link to click that will return them to the site activated so they can log in.

Andy Peatling posted a reply on the forum topic Very Slow Server Response With BuddyPress:   3 days, 21 hours ago

That doesn’t seem right, there must be something going wrong somewhere. What does the page generation time say in the page footer?

Andy Peatling posted a reply on the forum topic Email notification not working:   4 days ago

It’s not a BuddyPress issue, it’s that your server does not support SMTP or at least wp_mail() in it’s normal form.

Try again.

Andy Peatling posted a reply on the forum topic BuddyPress 1.2.2 registration emails?:   4 days, 2 hours ago

Yes, there’s a bug in 1.2.2 which is super frustrating as it was fairly obvious. I’m tagging 1.2.2.1 which fixes it and will be out in the next 30 minutes.

Andy Peatling posted a reply on the forum topic BP 1.2.2 ready to go ?:   4 days, 3 hours ago

Need to get in touch with the plugin authors and get them to update to stop this happening.

I’ll look at fixing them this weekend.

Don’t forget to vote ”works” again, now a new version is out.

Andy Peatling posted a reply on the forum topic Plugin – Automatic Deactivation of all BP Plugins when BuddyPress is Deactivated:   5 days ago

It’s not up to WordPress to deal with this, it’s up to plugin developers to write their plugins so it doesn’t die if BuddyPress is no present. I’ve put the code all over the codex for this:
