Where is the link for the spam prevention page showing up on the home page? Is it in the menu, sidebar, etc.?

@jimahrens
These two plugins handle video different so make sure to read the descriptions and choose the one that best fits your requirement.

@modemlooper
Has this changed since 1.5 because the codex:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/bp-custom-php/
Uses bp_init in the examples?

@dice2dice
Do you know how to go to dashboard/pages/all pages/register? At the top of that page the title says Register just change that to Sign Up. At the top right corner of that same page click screen options and click the box beside of Slug. Now scroll down below the page body and you will see a text field labelled Slug. Change that from…[Read more]

BuddyPress Registration Options is similar to this idea but it only allows a user to fill out their profile and upload an avatar until the admin approves their account. It doesn’t allow posting to the activity stream however. IMHO if a user doesn’t take the time to fill out their profile then it is a good indicator that they are a…[Read more]

Thanks to the hard work of @sbrajesh at BuddyDev we now have a solution get it here:

BuddyPress Limit Friendship Request

@dice2dice
You can change the register page name and slug to sign-up.
You can also try using Private Community For BP:
You will also need to change line 27 in private-community-for-bp.php from /register to /sign-up to reflect the change of the register slug.
If your not using it you can get it…[Read more]

I made a small plugin that should remove those links:
https://github.com/bphelp/bp-remove-profile-links
Feel free to try it out and let me know if it works for you!

@patricksaad
It would be a good plugin, from what I can see your method involves throttling for the activity stream correct? Not really projected towards friend request correct? I personally would like to see this feature towards both so hopefully it will come to fruition. Maybe you can create two plugins off this idea?

You can try this in bp-custom.php or your themes functions.php:
function bphelp_redirect_to_profile_on_login() {
global $bp;
if(!is_user_logged_in()) {
wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/profile' );
}
}
add_filter('get_header','bphelp_redirect_to_profile_on_login',1);

Let me know if it works for you!
If you dont want to try this then use the…[Read more]

@sbrajesh
Your welcome sir!
I look forward to this new plugin you will release I think you are really closing a gap that needed to be closed. By the way BP User Profile Visibility plugin rocks. Thanks once again for the awesome plugins and all the hard work you put forth, I respect you immensely!

@famous
Redirect from what? It would help if you explained the criteria. Do you want logged in users redirected to their profile?

@caming
If your using BuddyPress then it should login users to use forums as well. I think you may want to post this issue on the bbpress forums as well.

There is a new premium plugin out by BuddyDev called BuddyPress Limit Frienship check it out here:

BuddyPress Limit Friendship

This should help you folks out @tim_marston @ubernaut @sooskriszta . Another great job @sbrajesh !

@biggerplay
Correct pre BP 1.7 it came bundled, and as of 1.7+ bbpress is separate. Yes you can have group forums, site-wide forums, or both. See the link @synaptic provided.

@biggerplay
Doesn’t matter if you read 100 articles or 1000 articles if the information is outdated. I would take @modemlooper ‘s and @synaptic ‘s advice. Most likely things have changed a lot since the articles you read. It pays to stay on top of things with BP and the best way to do that is reading as much info in the blog, documentation/codex…[Read more]

@tux-kapono
Why would it be confusing unless you have several admins? Subscribers should not have access to how many registered users there are in the dashboard anyway. Unless those users are active participants wouldn’t it kinda mislead new legitimate registered users that there is more active members than what is truly there? Most likely the…[Read more]

@chase8705
You should always use a child theme instead of modifying the theme directly because if you update that theme then it will overwrite any modifications you made but if you made a child theme then the update will not effect modifications and all mods in the child theme will be preserved. Please…[Read more]

@wpbp
I produced a small plugin that is geared toward automated spam attacks but I haven’t gotten any feedback as far as its effectiveness:
https://github.com/bphelp/bp-spam-killer
As far as spam attacks from real users I think there are helpful solutions out there but spammer hacker types will always find way to circumvent any prevention method…[Read more]

@sooskriszta
Yes, that is the plugin. It would compliment the profile privacy that is already in place. I would love to see this added to the core. 🙂
