Seriously no one is having spam issues like I am?
13 accounts since my last post!
please any help here would be great
My spam issue is just not stopping and it’s driving me insane!!!!
Thanks for the tip mlovelock I have done what you said. Seems it has stopped some spam but 10 minute later it all starts again.
They must get error messages stating the register page doesn’t exist or something.
Alright I have added right after
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );
and right before
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
What is this suppose to do anyways? I’m not sure I understand how this stops spam.
So now my wp-config is like this,
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘BP_REGISTER_SLUG’, ‘randomcrazyslugger’ );
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
/** WordPress absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
I added the line. as suggested.
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
define( ‘BP_REGISTER_SLUG’, ‘yourregisterslug’ );
/** WordPress absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
That’s what it looks like.
Andrea_r sorry I’m in three different threads right now I feel like your chasing me around haha!
So now what?
I sit here with a website that doesn’t allow registrations?
Something official from buddy press or WPMU needs to be written…
what do I do?
Yes perhaps that’s true but let’s not ignore the obvious. Who better to write spam software for buddy press then a buddy press developer.
Guys when you re write the slug do you have to also move folders or files?
or do I simply add
define( “BP_REGISTER_SLUG”, “random slug” );
to the wp-config?
I simply did the easy things. I added yes or no questions. I put in default profile fields they would have to answer and I added a date of birth field.
What I don’t understand is right now I have registrations closed and they are still signing up.
Registration has been closed for almost an hour and I still got 8 or 9 spam accounts over the last 40 minutes.
How is that possible?
I had to close registration the spam is so bad. I’m assuming the person that is spamming our websites is someone within the community here at buddy press.
As soon as I made a rude comment about the developers ignoring spam issues I got hit by spam like never before.
I had 110 e-mails this morning and over 60 spam accounts.
Where am I supposed to find time for this?
I looked at the bp demo site registration I don’t see much different besides the date of birth…
http://testbp.org/register/
Adding an extra feature on signup or even adding a question doesn’t help.
zageek how do I make it so all the accounts at my site have to be manually approved?
What section of the admin cp is that in?
Anyone have an idea why this happened?
Please and thanks!
alright great stuff around here!
I have a 3.0 gig processor and 2 gigs of ram.
Since I updated to the new buddy press I am running way faster!
I don’t see this register slug inside the wp-config.
What exactly am I looking for.
I could not find:
define( ‘BP_REGISTER_SLUG’, ‘yourregisterslug’ );
Also if it change the register page location do I have to create new files so it actually exists?
Has anyone else lost the SEO title structure after completing this change?
When I’m on my website the SEO Title Tag is like this
| Blogging Wire
But it should be like this
Activity Stream | Blogging Wire
Any suggestions?
My page title format is as follows,
%page_title% | %blog_title%
Hey thanks again Ray 
This spam is a serious issue isn’t it?
I get the same crap on my pligg website! Spam after spam!
So it’s not only a buddy press thing.
Thanks for the link.
Nicola,
is this ready for the new version of buddy press?
Thanks,
Brian
Thanks Ray that worked perfect
Interesting is this something new?
I remember it being the check of a button last time I set it up…
Any instructions anywhere?
Guys I know about the Word Press Do Follow.but I need the buddy press to also be Do Follow.
This is what I need.
