I have not yet launched my buddypress site, but this is definitely one of my concerns.

If I required new users to verify their account with an e-mail activation link, would this help prevent spammers?

Try testing this plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/spam-destroyer/

So far so good. Worth a try.

@chamza Have you tried BP Profile Search Plugin? Here is the link: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-profile-search/ Just make sure your site meets the requirements.

@r-a-y it is not work any idea
http://www.ermito.eu/uzytkownicy/ it look ophu on live page

Hi k12onos, it’s weird you say you get this with the default theme as well. Could you provide a link perhaps to se this on your site – I understand it may not be live though.

Just as a check, are you using any plugins on top of BuddyPress? If you are have you made sure they are also updated for BuddyPress 1.6? I’m thinking there perhaps could be a scripting error from those.

@ashenkargmailcom This plugin can do it but I am not certain if its been updated for the current release of WordPress and BuddyPress. Its a premium plugin so it will set you back a few bucks. Its also a little tedious to configure so be prepared. Here is the link: http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/ultimate-facebook/

Wait, it looks like you I need to purchase the theme before I can write them a support question. Nuts

Can you do that, and point them to this discussion, too? I’m happy to talk to them directly and work with them to understand the issue. We’re keen to know if it’s a theme-specific bug or something we broke in BuddyPress 1.6. Thanks for your help.

This was covered in a previous thread please see: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-can-i-use-old-buddypress-admin-bar-if-i-dont-want-to-use-this-new-one-in-1-6/

Please read the bottom of this codex article:

Upgrading to 1.6

I’m guessing you have a rogue code snippet that is overriding BuddyPress’ avatar code.

Check your theme’s functions.php file located at /wp-content/YOUR-THEME/functions.php also check /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php. Look for any code snippet that references avatars. Can you find any?

Also check any BuddyPress plugins you may have.

testbp.org uses both the BuddyPress and the bbPress plugins.

bbPress has its own built-in forum subscription feature; BuddyPress does not have a group forum subscription feature built-in.

However, there is a BuddyPress plugin that enables members to subscribe to a group – BP Group Email Subscription:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/

@mentions work the way you intended them to; they leave a notification in the WP Toolbar for the user and concurrently notifies the user via email.

If you want something more immediate and Facebook-like, use Brajesh Singh’s Live Notification plugin:

Might need updating.

After much searching by @karmatosed and I, we’ve found it’s the https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wangguard/ plugin. You’ll need to contact the author for support.

@james_loudon – I was just re-reading your post and I think I know what you are experiencing.

Login to the WP dashboard and navigate to “Settings > Discussion”.

Scroll down to “Default Avatar” and select the avatar you want to use for members that do not have an uploaded avatar.

@djpaul: If there’s anyone more “The Man” than you, I don’t know who he is.

THANKS A MILLION! I learned something new today. The renaming plugin folder worked.

@kmtrent – you probably have some code in a plugin or a theme that assumes BuddyPress is always loaded. This isn’t always the case, and obviously causes problems like this.

@ezcs – if you read your error line, you see it is coming from from plugins/buddypress-like/. That plugin hasn’t been updated for almost two years. Which version of BuddyPress did you upgrade from? Regardless, go into your site via FTP (or however you normally upload files), go into plugins, and rename the “buddypress-like” folder into something else. This should let you log back in to your site, go to the plugins page and it should display a message about a “broken plugin”.

Read this topic if you want to add more fields to the status update. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/adding-a-second-element-for-posting-with-an-activity/?topic_page=1&num=15

But I think a better approach is to create a component.
