That is going to be the issue, pass the problem off to them to solve as it’s essentially a domain configuration problem, once they’re aware of the problem they will know how to correct. While you are working with them you might as well ensure they have set a SPF record for the domain and also PTA records both will help ensure mail servers can satisfy there spam checks and verify the domain and the server as being an authorised one to send mail for that domain.

Nice to see that the official Buddypress site is having a huge problem with spam as well. Congrats.

@egehlhaar looks like you’ve fixed the sidebar issue. I see the sidebar in the right location in your register page.

I came up with a workaround, as described here
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/no-members-or-groups-or-sites-show-with-page-or-all-links/
that might help you. I’m pretty sure it was the same problem you were having.

This might help

Hi,

It is not exactly the same, but you can use WangGuard and the users can report to the admin the spammer users

Kind regards

@BlinkyBill01 – You can see the changes that will be in 1.6 here, https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5443

the red markings is what was removed and the green is what was added,

to find it in the future, it’s usually linked to by a core dev before the ticket becomes closed,

…and for anyone thinking of using it on their site for a quick-fix, please note that it’s still in beta and being tested and not guaranteed to work… (theirs a reason it doesn’t get pushed out to live sites automatically)

Since it isn’t a critical bug but an enhancement i’d recommend waiting afew weeks until it’s out officially.

edit: ohhh, right. We are at version 1.5.4 you can see them here – https://buddypress.org/blog/

Agreed on the matter of adding a plugin to cure the symptoms, it’s not really a solution; sending email is a fiddly business due to a plethora of badly implemented solutions for trying to ID spam mail, but essentially moving email around is not rocket science and ‘sendmail’ or similar apps work quite well to achieve this, generally this sort of issue will be to do with receiving servers not being happy with the mail, either they can’t perform a reverse lookup on the domain or they are trying to check for a SPF record and not finding one. Not sure what to suggest other than that, your site/server is sending emails successfully so I don’t see the point of a further plugin, reviewing any mailer-deamon failure emails if they exist and can be found can help by tracking down any error numbers returned, but logs are really the only means to working out what is happening here.

Is your mail server located elsewhere for that domain? is the box you are running your site on a cpanel or plesk enabled one? i so does that have a mail server running set to your domain, control panels can tend to set up defaults that are not obvious and run services such as email servers that you may not want and that may be trapping your domain mail and returning it to it’s self rather than pushing it on off the box.

If the URL shows correctly on the sites/create page, but not on the /reigster page, that could be a bug in BuddyPress. Please would you report it to https://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org; you can use your username and password from this site. Thanks

Use object caching.

BP 1.5.4 is compatible with WP 3.3.1

Blank pages – https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/

I too am having the same problem. The Registration page was automatically created and when I edit that page the permalink is http://pc.bradstreets.net/register HOWEVER when I click view page (or click Register in my Nav) I get my home page. I have checked the Buddypress Pages setup and it is set to the right page – I just can’t view that page in any fashion.

Are you using the WP Toolbar (what you see on testbp.org) or the BuddyBar (BuddyPress’ older bar)?
