BuddyPress.org

I’ve just updated this plugin to work in BP 1.2.1 and bbP 1.0.3.

Available here:

http://www.deadlyhifi.com/downloads/buddybar-in-bbpress.1.0.4.zip

I’ve now deleted the register pages inside the bbpress folders, and that seems to have halted the spam registrations for now. Fingers crossed

Yes, it does. The groups & forums use bbpress. The MU part only manages additional blogs.

is possible have an updated version of this plugin for BP1.2.1 and the latest version of WP? thanks!

I am having the same issue. Both on the front end and in the admin area. Any of these links simply take me to the homepage of the blog.

1. WordPress MU 2.8.6
2. subdomain install
3. installed in a sub directory
4. a fresh install
5. wordpress MU is functioning as normal before and after buddypress install
6. Buddypress Version 1.2.1
7. Did not upgrade buddypress
8. No other plugins installed
9. Using Buddymatic theme with a custom child theme, (though switching back to buddymatic default, coffe with friends or kubrick hasthe same issues)
10. No modification of core files
11. No custom functions in bp-custom.php
12. Not running bbPress (yet, one thing at a time
13. I have no server error logs afaik, but i do get this error when activating the plugin*
14. The blog is currently hosted inhouse on a development server, I could request permission to reveal more details about this if requiered

* –

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_loaded() (previously declared in /home/astateofwriting/wordpress-mu/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-loader.php:54) in /home/astateofwriting/wordpress-mu/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-loader.php on line 55

That’s what I meant. You’ll need to theme bbPress to match BuddyPress.

Before hiring someone for this, I’d recommend finalizing the look of your BP install.

Just my two cents.

Here’s the right place (for now anyway!):

http://testbp.org/groups/buddypress-job-board/

Do you just want someone to duplicate the original BP theme as a bbPress theme?

You’ll need to style your bbPress theme if that’s what you mean.

Have to admit I had no idea there was another registration.php page and it would have never have occurred to me to look in the bbpress folder.

This kinda worries me really why is this required and also a password reset file, it feels as though it’s a bad hangover from earlier days and ought to be removed.

Is it not time that this bbpress thing be integrated fully or at least forum capabilities simply part of BP core .

I have deleted this registration file and will be interested to see if it clears up the remaining few spam signups still being received

@windhamdavid – thanks for the hint about bbpress… didn’t know, that the register-file was still there… Now I deleted it (just in case) – although forums are not even activated in my install. By now, still no spammers registering… could be that activating hashcash again did the trick (although I really don’t get it why, for as far as I know it just protects the register-form, right? and it seems, that wasn’t even used…

@chouf1 On the install I am havong troubles with there is NOT ONE spammer for sure. I know all of them personally! In my other install (I have 0 troubles until now, I will check back on that. thanks for the hint)

PS: Chouf1 – wow, do you speak swissgerman

let’s continue this thread over here ~ https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/how-to-control-spam-registration/page/2

and did you try that recommendation regarding bbpress?

I don’t quite understand these spam posts since I’ve run ten to twelve mu sites for several (4+) years with no splog/smap exploits (knock on wood) and some of them are outdated installs with very little protection. If buddypress is in fact, the culprit, perhaps it’s related to the registration in bbpress if you have forums installed? @micheal ~ perhaps you should try removing register.php from the buddypress/forums/bbpress/ ~ and/or buddypress/forums/bbpress/templates/kakumei/register.php to see what happens…

I just tested on a local install with no conflicts and thanks for investigating.

You should rename your bbpress folder to /forums if you want it to show up there.
