Thanks for the find. I’m trying it out now, giving the site/activity/ page and site/members/ page priorities of 1 – we’ll see if the sitemap picks up any activity…
Ok…I’ve got it figured out now and have put the registration form both in a sidebar and a separate page, tested them, and it works. I copied and pasted the form from register.php.
3. Change line 166 to “ – This was because I DO want to allow blog creation, but I DON’T want people doing it when the register. There are a lot of threads out there asking how to do this and this trick works.
Also, make sure you include the javascript below the form as well.
Bringing this back…Rich’s plugin doesn’t work anymore. I would use the snip above, but I’m not sure where to find the correct functions in this line:
$nothanks = array(“new_blog_post”, “created_group”, “joined_group”, “new_member”, “friendship_created”, “activity_liked”);
I would like to filter OUT new follows (bp-follow plugin), new members, and location updates (mapology).
I kid you not, this plugin works. There are some warnings on the authors website about sub-domain multisite installs, so i’ve only got it on my main blog. But my spam is way down. Nothing in the last 7 hours. Unheard of for me.
Ok…2 days now and my total spammer count is only 10. I can’t prove it, but this plugin does seem to be working. For what it’s worth, I’ve got the Project Honeypot part working along with the Stop Forum Spam.
If you are getting bombarded with spam, try this out and see if it helps.
I’ve got it installed for 24 hours and, so far, nothing blocked in the cache. HOWEVER, I’ve only had 4 spammers sign up in the last 24 hours, where i usually get 30 or so every day. Maybe it works, but doesn’t report properly? I can report, no negative side-effects.
I’ll keep on this and report back if the spammer load stays low.
Here’s my list of possibilities:
wp-includes/js/l10n.js
wp-includes/js/prototype.js
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js
wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/wp-scriptaculous.js,wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/builder.js
wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/effects.js
wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/dragdrop.js
wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/slider.js
wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/controls.js
Just disabled batcache by removing object-cache.php and advcanced-cache.php and defining caching as false in wp-config. Not only does it work now, but the broken permalinks are fixed.]
Blog comments were always fine – there must be something regarding BP/bbpress that isn’t caching-aware. Or, because batcache isn’t supposed to apply to logged-in users, maybe there is something about bbpress where cookies aren’t recognized.
Any ideas? Is there a bat-phone I can call for help?
Still struggling here – it’s not my theme, plugins, and I can’t find any documentation that caching would screw up permalinks. Even some gurus are stumped.
My question now: Is there a way to “reset” my install to account for a possible glitch? I’ve reinstalled WP and BP but that doesn’t help, so maybe it’s a database error?
Any way to differentiate between a sub-blog post image and a main blog update? I’d like to size blog post images like thumbnails, but allow for larger images in regular bp activity updates.
