In reply to: [Resolved] Trouble with avatar change
@mercime
Participant@bellacrazy74 change to bp-default theme and see if crop avatar works from there.
July 28, 2012 at 6:53 pm #138109ParticipantAdd this to your theme’s stylesheet:
`div#wpadminbar { position: absolute !important; }`

Participant@karmatosed I had seen that but didn’t see an answer on how to do what I’m trying to do. I need a live validation to show the user whether or not their entry is a valid url for facebook or twitter.

ModeratorI think https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/validating-a-url-from-xprofile-field/ may provide a good starting point. If I am wrong though please let me know and I’ll take a look.

Participant@joemd the plugin has not been updated since April 2011, so I wouldn’t recommend using it in any installation.

ParticipantYes. That issue is resolved in BP 1.6 which will be released sometime soon.

MemberIn the past 6 months I was getting 50+ spam bot registrations a day. I used WangGuard, but it was not catching them.
The bots were looking for the default registration page at http://yoursite.com/register
I changed the permalink of my default registration page to something else and have not had any issue since then.
Knock on wood, I have not had to delete any bogus registrations for the past month.
I hope this helps.

I ask: What could cause problems for non-bots?
You wrote: I’ve been having good success with SweetCaptcha,
I ask: SweetCaptcha looks cool. Do you have to come up with your own designs or are they stock?
One possible problem with this model, like any captcha, is that once the bots create a database of these drag and drop actions, human figures it out and then put in the database, it may become ineffective. The more adoption a model gets in WP the more attacks it will undergo from spammers.

I’ve been having good success with SweetCaptcha, I haven’t had any complaints from anyone & it seems to work for people from all cultures. One bot through since installing, but that is a lot less than lots of bots a day.

Keymasterbp_get_profile_field_data() still exists in 1.5.7. Double-check:
* is the BuddyPress plugin active?
* Is there a nag message near the top of the plugins screen with a message “BuddyPress has been updated! Please run the update wizard”? If so, run through the update wizard.July 28, 2012 at 1:53 pm #138093In reply to: Buddypress on Subdomain

ParticipantGreat to read about your success with BuddyPress and Enterprise Nation.
Customizing registration appears to be a must when creating a high load community. There is a lot of heavy lifting that needs to be done during signup which requires a custom process.
Interesting that you do not use and activation email.
The site appears to be locked down from a BuddyPress standpoint. No Activity Stream?
@neononcon you might want to check out WangGuard (free in WordPress plugins) for help in limiting spam registration.

July 28, 2012 at 1:39 pm #138088ModeratorDid you upgrade on your live site? Never do this. Always have a testing setup so you avoid these situations.
Revert back to 1.5.6 https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/developers
July 28, 2012 at 1:31 pm #138087Participant@mercime thanks for the reply.
I did not realize how extensive the spam registration, comment and trackback issue is on WP/BP. I am curious though as to how these registrations are getting past the required fields.
In doing more research there are several models for limiting spam registration;
captcha, which appears to have been compromised through the use of attack tools and, IMHO, is unfriendly to users.
honeypot, which places a hidden field in the registration and when filled out registration is blocked.Currently I am testing WangGuard. It looks like it takes a more holistic approach treating spam registrations like a virus and building a database of bad domains.
I have not fully launched my site yet so I don’t know how effective it is.
Anyone else have a recommendation for methods/solutions for limiting spam registrations?

Member@mercime With deafult plugins,buddypress and bp-default theme, cropping works…
I loaded everything back but loaded original buddypress plugin and everything looks OK.. i guess i will have to translate it again.. thnx anyway

Participant@leon89 back up the theme and plugins you were translating and upload the original theme and plugins. Activate bp-default theme, then check if issue is resolved.

Participant== When clicking on your photo on main buddypress home page it doesnt do anything besides direct you back to the page your already at ==
It’s probably the theme you’re using. BP Default theme image avatar links by default to member’s Activity > Personal page

Member@juanmaguerrero Thanks, it’s brilliant! However, I just updated to BP 1.5.7 and it’s not compatable. Is there a way to revert to BP 1.5.6?
July 28, 2012 at 6:17 am #138079In reply to: Text Message Notifications for Groups
Participant@hpdesign sorry, no plugin to do what you wanted at this time. Either you’d have to code this yourself, or you’d need to hire a developer to do so or wait for someone to create a plugin and release it in WP Plugin Repo
July 28, 2012 at 6:09 am #138078Participant@elangley the thing is that whether you have BuddyPress or not, when you have open registration, expect spammers – bots and humans. There are human spammers who are paid by companies to post backlinks in as many websites as possible and those who spam just for the heck of it, and other than making your site by invitation only, you’d have to monitor membership in your site regular and be prepared to cull the spammers.
July 28, 2012 at 6:03 am #138077In reply to: Buddypress on Subdomain
Participant@pbarthmaier I did not find any issues when I moved BP from main site to subdomain blog id 3 in one installation way back BP 1.2++. I’m sure you know that you should always back up database and server files before making the change just to be safe
July 28, 2012 at 5:52 am #138075In reply to: Sidebar in Footer in Wootheme
Participant@pkmcilroy there are AJAX/JS conflicts with BP and Canvas Theme https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/woo-canvas-child-theme-customization-and-ajax/ Near the end of the topic, someone posted a link to a premium Canvas child theme which has BP compatibility. I will only suggest that if you’re going to purchase that child theme, wait till it’s been updated for BP 1.6 which will be coming out pretty soon.
