Same issue as @sadr above, update doesn’t show and it won’t let me update in ‘add new plugin’ screen as it says I have latest version, even though I have 1.2.8.

Any idea?

[footybible]

@r-a-y absolutely, as far as I’m concerned you guys have achieved legendary status for making buddypress and associated plugins available in the first place. I absolutely have no expectations beyond that. I was just trying to express my frustration at my own ineptitude in solving the problem, in the hope that someone might take sympathy!

I have tried re-uploading the plugin but the same issue remains. Its strange because its only appearing on one specific item in the activity stream. If you wouldn’t mind looking at it that would be great. Let me know you need a link etc and I’ll DM you. Cheers Ray.

Anyone? I don’t mean to be impatient, but I currently have a big fat error message on my homepage, mocking me for my lack of coding skills and driving my bounce rate ever higher.

A hearty donation and even heartier thanks are on offer to whoever can help me get rid of it!

[footybible]

@hnla in @r-a-y s abscence is this something you could help me with please?

[footybible]

anyone?

Hi @DJPaul

I removed the following line from entry.php

<a href="” class=”fav” title=””>

<a href="” class=”unfav” title=””>

This has removed the button from the activity stream but the tab on user profiles is still there? Cheers

[footybible]

Can anyone direct what code needs to be stripped out to remove the ‘favorite’ functionality? I think this would be a really useful guide to have. Thanks

[footybible]

Hmm the code didnt paste properly, but you get the idea

[footybible]

@rogercoathup Excellent! There were 2 lines, one around 400, one around 600, which looked something like:

<a href="”>

I replaced them with the code you suggested and that did the trick perfectly! So much neater Many thanks

[footybible]

@govpatel – Yes it doesn’t make sense really, otherwise I would have chosen them the same when I signed up!

[footybible]

Thanks @rogercoathup I’m not sure line 368 is the right place though (its currently blank in my login). Here is what my file looks like from line 353 onwards:

// allow plugins to override the default actions, and to add extra actions if they want
do_action(‘login_form_’ . $action);

$http_post = (‘POST’ == $_SERVER);
switch ($action) {

case ‘logout’ :
check_admin_referer(‘log-out’);
wp_logout();

$redirect_to = !empty( $_REQUEST ) ? $_REQUEST : ‘wp-login.php?loggedout=true’;
wp_safe_redirect( $redirect_to );
exit();

break;

case ‘lostpassword’ :
case ‘retrievepassword’ :
if ( $http_post ) {
$errors = retrieve_password();
if ( !is_wp_error($errors) ) {
$redirect_to = !empty( $_REQUEST ) ? $_REQUEST : ‘wp-login.php?checkemail=confirm’;
wp_safe_redirect( $redirect_to );
exit();
}
}

Very cool plugin! In IE7 the righthand side of the ’email’ button gets cut off in the activity stream button.

@tedmann when I had the rogue bbpress register file and I was getting spammers sign up I could identify them because under ‘users’ they were listed only as users of their subsites rather than my main site – (which I dont believe is possible through legitimate registration?)

However, last night I had another such registration. Granted, its only one, but I dont understand how they can sign up for a sub-blog without being added to the main site. Which makes me also worry there is another ‘backdoor’ somewhere….

[footybible]

Haha @rogercoathup this kind of brings me back to my orignal question I’ve had a look at my wp-login.php and I’m not really sure what to change. I was hoping someone had come across this before, when changing their slug and it would be an easy answer

[footybible]

Cheers @Rogercoathup, I’ll have a look around

[footybible]

@rogercoathup – I’m using social theme. This is the page:

http://www.footybible.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.footybible.com

The ‘register’ link, in the bottom of the box, redirects to the home page instead of ‘/getinvolved’ which is my new slug. Not a huge problem, but annoying enough to put some people off I supect.

Thanks

[footybible]

@rogercoathup – I see this is something you have done before – any ideas?

[footybible]

Sounds like you have switched something in ‘theme options’. In theme options under ‘blog hompeage settings’ there is an option ‘Do you want to enable privacy for all members profile’. Make sure this is set to disable.

[footybible]

I have the latest version of buddypress and I had to delete the register.php from bbpress, as is suggested above. This reduced my spam signups from around ten a day to none.

[footybible]

@jonnylons I had a similar goal to you. I ended up instead creating a highly customised, edited backend. Whether you are interested in doing this completely or maybe just checking out some of the things I learnt, you may want to check out my guide to the matter here:

http://buddydress.com/forums/topic/customising-the-user-backend-and-default-blog-format-tutorial

[footybible]

Is it something to do with do_action( ‘register_post’) ?

[footybible]

The ms field update Paul talks about is found here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recover-super-admin-access-after-username-change

I have now changed my username but I have no idea how I was hacked. I was already using login lockdown. And, through ‘login log’ I can see failed login attempts, of which there were none. So it wasn’t a brute force attempt – I’m thinking I have a loophole somewhere

[footybible]

Ok – I have changed my name and I seemed to have lost access to large areas of the backend, such as plugins, super admin etc. Where might I have gone wrong?

[footybible]

YES! That was it! I was getting tired and sloppy Put the two ‘ in and now it works. Thanks so much, this has been tormenting me for a week!

[footybible]

Ok thanks for your help anyway. This is so frustrating!
