BuddyPress.org

Also, read the readme.txt file that comes with the BuddyPress download package. It tells you everything you need to know. Of course, if you’re using the autoinstall feature from the plugin browser in WP’s backend, then you may not even know about the readme.txt file.

Most of you probably know my thoughts on the issue of plugin developer remuneration (suffice it to say, that less then 0.1% of people who have downloaded my plugins donate. Yes, that is 0.1%, not 1%.) But, this thread has gone off topic. So, please let’s get back on topic. If someone wishes to create […]

The “members” slug, as it is called, is also autogenerated and does not represent an actual, physical space. The easiest way to do this would be to change the slug to “usa/members”. See this article, https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ , and scroll down to the section entitled “Change the URL slugs…[Read more]

Not at this time. But, once my PRivacy Component is released, this will be possible–at least for each individual user to configure.

@stwc- I definitely see the desirability of a “User’s Dashboard” as you describe. Although there are ways for a user to accomplish some of what you’re suggesting in the current, default setup, it is not intuitive nor necessarily that easy. Any service that can help users better organize, manage, and track their growing data stream […]

@Andrea_r-

Thanks for starting this thread. I know this issue will become more relevant once WP 3.0 is released and people start realizing the potential.

@foxly- This is a very nice summary of the problem. Thank you for providing the introduction to the various attack vectors spammers currently use. I would argue, as you know, that WP / BP also needs to combat registration spam–even though it is the hardest issue to address. There area a number of BP.org members […]

As Paul said, you need to distill your environment down to the least common denominator. Switch to the default BP theme and make sure you do not have any other plugins besides BP activated. If the problem goes away, then it has something to do with your theme, one of your installed plugins, or a […]

Which version of BP are you running? Where have you placed your code? I have not checked to see if bp_user_link() has been deprecated, but it is easy enough to do a global search and find out. By the way, you use the “code” tag enclosed within angled brackets to display code. Just close the […]

BP v1.2.4 will be released within the next 2 weeks. More than likely sooner than later.

@qbuster, as far as seeing a “beta”, you can always check out the bleeding-edge version from svn trunk. It is the version that with a few more tickets closed, will be tagged as v1.2.4.

@jaxster- The new version of the widget does not allow for the avatar size to be changed. This is because BuddyPress changed the way it handles avatars. I need to look into the code to see how I can resurrect this feature. But for now, I decided that it was important to get the widget […]

Did you delete the old theme files (bp-default and bp-sn-parent) from the directory?

Did you have any other BP-plugins installed and activated?

Okay, per IRC dev chat, let’s use this thread for discussions on ideas to combat registration spam and other types of spam.

You’re welcome. Good luck!
