Great. Ill try that. Thanks for your help Milan.

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Burt, what about plugins in th mu-plugins folder? We cannot deactivate those right?

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Hi Milan,

Thanks for the code. Where would I paste this code to allow me to show the 5 topics on my default buddypress home theme (guessing I would have to create a widget?)

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks Daniel, that worked for me.

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

I just recovered from a bad spam incident on my buddypress site. A user (who looked legit) suddenly started private messaging the whole community with obviously spam material resulting in some very angry members

I will go ahead and install Akismet and a captcha during registration H.owever, is it true that each user has to obtain their own key from wordpress.com and plug it into Akismet to get it to work? Is there an alternative that I can just activate for everyone? Or can I just provide all my members with my key to activate their akismet?

Also, what steps have other BP admin used to prevent the kind of spam that I mentioned above? I do not think Akismet & the captcha during registration would have helped in this situation.

Is there a plugin that flags users who message a lot of users in a short time? Something like that might help fight spammers.

Thanks.

Bump..

still looking for help on how to edit the screen that comes up right after you enter your registration information. Thanks.

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

DJPaul,

Look forward to it. I feel this kind of functionality could really junp start conversations on a bp site.

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

I had asked about this earlier but I have still not found the solution. Please post if you have one. Thanks!

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

@plrk, I guess the check you junk mail message would be best on second register screen (the one that comes up after clicking next. However I am unable to find the code to edit to add the message. Can anyone tell me which file it resides in?

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

I notice that all the emails that are going out by my website have mailed by: gator754.hostgator.com in the details section (I am checking in gmail).

Could this be the reason they are going to the spam folder?

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Many of my users complain about the confusing nav of the default theme but since I am still trying to get all features of my site to work, I haven’t had a chance to spend time on the theme aspects. I would love to be able to incorporate aspects of the buddypress.org theme on my site. Hoping copypress is able to release the theme

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Im awaiting this plugin too..any updates Nicola?

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

I use google analytics for BP as well as my regular WP sites. However, I still end up using statpress plugins for my regular WP sites, I guess because they are right there in your dashboard and give immediate uptodate information.

I agree that the overall statistics for statpress are always higher than google analytics (I actually have no idea which is accurate) but for checking if your site has had any activity in the past few hours, there is no better than statpress.

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks Mike,

I have been trying to figure out how to include that in the screen that comes up after a user enters their registration details and clicks next. Would you know what I have to edit?

Actually the problem is not only with activation emails..all emails generated by buddypress (alerts about private messages etc) seem to be going to the spam folders.

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

BeLogical,

The plugin for statcounter claims to only be compatible upto WP 2.5. Were you able to get it working properly for the latest versions?

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Any updates on this plugin? I got the feeling that it was undergoing final testing? Thanks!

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

This is sounding great! When can we test it out?

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

The code worked fine. Thanks!

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Will the admin be able to choose which achievements to activate and how many points to provide for each?

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks for the quick help Jeff. Ill try this out.

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks for the code. I there a way to restrict only a particular group and not all?

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

So site-wide.css will modify the member & home theme at the same time. Thanks!

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Timothy, great job on Spots Kenya and glad to see that you have got a good response already. I have a question. I noticed that members who are not logged in see a large welcome bar across the top with a signup link. Have you used the welcome widget for this or is it a custom job?

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

What is the difference between custom.css & sitewide.css?

[@kunal17 Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Awesome! Look forward to it.
