    Hi drstrats,

    Greetings! I understand the challenge you’re facing with BuddyPress email notifications ending up in the spam folder. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    1. BuddyPress SMTP Settings:
    Ensure that BuddyPress is configured to use SMTP for sending emails. Navigate to the BuddyPress settings, and look for the email configuration section. You might find options to input SMTP details like server, port, username, and password. Set these up according to your email provider’s specifications.

    2. WP Mail SMTP Plugin:
    It’s great that you’ve installed the WP Mail SMTP plugin. To make sure it integrates with BuddyPress, go to the WP Mail SMTP settings. You’ll find an option to enable SMTP for BuddyPress emails. Ensure it’s checked, and save the settings.

    3. Testing:
    After configuring the above settings, send a test email through BuddyPress. Check the spam folder and see if the issue persists. Sometimes, it might take a little time for the changes to take effect.

    If the problem continues, consider reaching out to your hosting provider to verify if there are any server-specific configurations affecting email delivery.

    On a lighter note, when it comes to making moments special, have you ever considered expressing yourself with flowers? Explore the offerings from the best flower shops in McAllen, TX. Their delightful arrangements might just be the perfect touch for any occasion.

    Wishing you success in resolving the SMTP matter, and may your BuddyPress notifications reach their recipients seamlessly.

    Best regards,

    Hello,

    Unfortunately after the latest bp update Version 12.0.0 I am inundated with spam sign ups!

    Previously, it was possible to delete the registration page entirely, which I had tdone because of excessive spam registrations.

    However now BuddyPress pages are no longer accessible in the network admin panel & BuddyPress Settings. I even tried addding an obscure page name slug in the urls section of buddypress settings, but I’m still inundated with spam sign-ups.

    I use a plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-registration/ to navigate around the weak registration page and I am still using it except that I have the main buddypress registration page causing sign up problems which I cannot fix.

    Perhaps I’m overlooking something. If so, could you provide suggestions on how to secure the BuddyPress registration page or eliminate it completely which I would almost prefer to do as
    I’ve never been able to customize it and secure it from massive unwanted registrations

    Thank you for your time and patience
    Mark M.

    Previously, it was possible to eliminate the registration page entirely, which I had to do because of excessive spam sign-ups. However, after the latest update, I attempted to delete the page, only to find that BuddyPress pages are no longer accessible in the network admin panel. I even tried renaming the registration page to something obscure, but I’m still inundated with bot and spam sign-ups.

    Is the BuddyPress team aware of what I perceive as a major setback in the latest update? Previously, I used a plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-registration/) to navigate around the weak registration page and I am still using it except that I have the main buddypress registration page causing problems which I cannot cancel. Perhaps I’m overlooking something. If so, could you provide suggestions on how to secure the BuddyPress registration page or eliminate it completely which I would prepare to do as
    I’ve never been able to customize it

    I have multiple non-Admin test accounts at my site that I use to test user experience. I’ve tried the passwords that should work to log in, to no avail. When I try to reset the password from multiple angles (using the password reset on the site, and from the initial signup email), I’m not receiving a password reset email. (not in spam folder either, and it’s been multiple hours since the first reset attempt)

    In addition, when I try to log in from the site’s forum login button, it says “Method Not Allowed”.

    I have Buddypress 12.0.0 and just installed the BP Classic plugin which didn’t solve either issue.

    You can use any SMTP plugin with third-party email providers like SendGrid, Mailgun, Elastic Email, etc. Having a dedicated IP can increase email deliverability and reduce the chances of landing in spam folders.

    If the emails you sent out for invitations to join your BuddyPress network are consistently landing in recipients’ spam/junk folders, there are several steps you can take to improve email deliverability:

    Use a Trusted Email Service:
    Ensure that your website is configured to send emails through a reputable and trusted email service. Using a dedicated email service provider can help improve deliverability.

    Check Email Content:
    Make sure your email content is not triggering spam filters. Avoid using spammy language, excessive capitalization, or multiple exclamation points. Ensure that the email content is relevant and personalized.

    Set Up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC Records:
    Implement Sender Policy Framework (SPF), DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), and Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) records for your domain. These authentication mechanisms help verify that your emails are legitimate.

    Use a Custom Sender Email Address:
    Use a custom email address associated with your domain as the sender address. Avoid using generic or free email addresses, as they may be more likely to be marked as spam.

    Personalize Email Content:
    Personalize the email content to make it more engaging and less likely to be flagged as spam. Include the recipient’s name and relevant details in the email.

    Avoid Attachments and Suspicious Links:
    Refrain from attaching files or including suspicious links in your emails. These can trigger spam filters.

    Check IP Reputation:
    Ensure that your server’s IP address is not blacklisted. You can use online tools to check the reputation of your IP address.

    Monitor Bounce and Complaint Rates:
    Regularly monitor bounce rates and email complaint rates. High bounce rates can negatively impact deliverability.

    Include an Unsubscribe Option:
    Provide a clear and easy way for recipients to unsubscribe from future emails. This helps build trust and compliance with anti-spam regulations.

    Educate Users:
    Encourage users to mark your emails as “Not Spam” if they find them in their spam folder. This can help train email providers to recognize your emails as legitimate.

    Contact Email Service Provider Support:
    If you’ve tried the above steps and are still facing issues, consider reaching out to your email service provider’s support for assistance.

    The Codex mentions here that there is a page in Settings > Email but I don’t see it.

    So I have 2 questions : by default, does sending a notice as an admin to all users triggers a mail to be sent?

    And if so where do I configure/disable it? With 40000 users I’d like to be able to notify users but not send a load of email spam.

    (damn the spam on this forum seems constant, that’s frustrating)

    I’m using BBpress.
    In fact the website I’m working on used BBpress and i’m trying to integrate that and Buddypress (that I enabled mainly to add private message to the website).

    bbpress has the advantage to contain templates that work directly when you enable both plugin.

    I’m trying to pull all the information from both bbpress profile and buddypress profile to an existing custom theme profile page but that’s the challenging part.

    @awol I’m not sure whether david00116 is a spammer or not. One of their messages was clearly a spam.

    I’ll test Blocksy again with BP 12.0 to see if I can reproduce the activity comment/reply issue.

    Removing the activation URL/key combo from the activation email and requiring users to manually copy and paste the key could indeed help slow down spam registrations to some extent. This approach introduces an additional step that may be more challenging for automated bots to complete, as they would need to extract the key from the email and input it accurately into the form. While it might inconvenience legitimate users slightly, it could potentially deter some automated spam bots.

    However, it’s important to note that determined spammers might still find ways to automate this process, such as using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract the key from the email. Balancing security with user experience is crucial. Here are a few considerations:

    User Experience: Requiring users to manually copy and paste the activation key can be frustrating, especially for users who are less technically inclined. It might lead to a higher abandonment rate during the registration process.

    Accessibility: This method might pose difficulties for users with visual impairments or those using screen readers.

    Alternate Solutions: There are other methods to combat spam, such as CAPTCHAs, email verification, and behavior analysis. You might consider combining multiple techniques for a more effective anti-spam solution.

    Testing: Before implementing such a change, it’s recommended to conduct testing to see if it indeed reduces spam registrations without significantly impacting legitimate users.

    As for your request to add “TWITCHAUDIENCESPOTLIGHT,” I’m not quite clear on where you would like to add this text. Could you please provide more context or specify where exactly you want to insert this text?

    Hi, I just wanted to let people know that German users have a complete translation now on wp.org when they install or update BuddyPress.

    (Until yesterday, while the basic frontend was covered, ~1000 translations were missing)

    You may also review my work on this link and submit any fixes you might have:

    Lookup buddypress on translate.wordpress.org, avigate to German and select my per-Project
    translations there. I am not including links for now as my other topic was flagged as spam.

    I am still working on some fixups, if you find anything to comment on, please do,
    and submit your improvements if you can (just signup on the page)!

    If you need the formal German, reply here, I am subscribing this topic.

    BBPress is a WordPress plugin that allows you to add a forum or discussion board to your WordPress website. While it doesn’t come with a built-in private messaging feature, there are a few ways you can add this functionality to your forum:

    Use a plugin: There are several plugins available that allow you to add private messaging to BBPress. One popular option is the “Private Messages For BBPress” plugin, which adds a private messaging system to your forum. You can also check out other plugins that are available in the WordPress repository.

    Use a third-party service: Another option is to integrate a third-party service that offers private messaging. For example, you could use a service like BuddyPress, which offers a range of social networking features, including private messaging. You can integrate BuddyPress with BBPress to add private messaging to your forum.

    Custom development: If you have the technical skills or can hire a developer, you could also develop a custom solution to add private messaging to your forum. This would involve creating a plugin or customizing the BBPress code to add the functionality you need.

    Whichever method you choose, it’s important to consider the security and privacy implications of adding private messaging to your forum. Make sure to implement appropriate security measures to protect user data and prevent spam or abuse.

    I’m trying to make registering on the site require a passphrase to complete the registration (a form of spam filtering / needing to be human).

    when I go through the steps, to register, the field is there, and if entered correctly, it works, but if it’s blank, or just wrong, it just kicks me to a white screen error with:

    “There has been a critical error on this website.

    Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.”

    It would seem something is wrong with the error handling in my function. help?

    function bp_add_passphrase_field() {
    ?>
      <div class="register-section" id="profile-details-section">
        <div class="editfield">
          <label for="passphrase"><?php _e( 'What sport do the Steelers play?', 'buddypress' ); ?> <?php _e( '(required)', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
          <input type="password" name="passphrase" id="passphrase" value="" />
        </div>
      </div>
    <?php
    }
    add_action( 'bp_before_registration_submit_buttons', 'bp_add_passphrase_field' );
    
    // Validate the custom passphrase field on form submission
    function bp_validate_passphrase_field( $result ) {
      // Set the desired passphrase
      $correct_passphrase = 'football';
    
      if ( $_POST['passphrase'] != $correct_passphrase ) {
        $result['errors']->add( 'passphrase_error', __( 'The passphrase you entered is incorrect.', 'buddypress' ) );
      }
      return $result;
    }
    add_filter( 'bp_signup_validate', 'bp_validate_passphrase_field' );
    ?>

    Not sure if your issue was the same as mine but we got 600K spam registrations because they were finding this url… /wp-login.php?action=register which was different than our Buddy Press Registration form: /register .

    Even though we had Recaptcha, etc the query page was not protected. We ended up creating a redirect to the /register page.
