style.css in your themes root folder.

Add float:left; to #column-wrap.

It’s not an easy fix. You need various plugins to block spam but as stated above people are earning pennies to sign up to blogs. Best defense is a strong offense. Do as much as you can. Spam is a fact of life when running social sites.

Install my BuddyPress verified plugin and you can easily manage your spam accounts. I’m adding a feature in the next update that will deactivate an account automatically if that account posts too much if they are too new.

Core BP committer Paul is adding askimet filtering to the activity stream. Everyone knows spam is an issue and it’s being dealt with as best it can.

I have tried everything A to Z to stop spam registration. They all work for a while, but as the site grows it is overwhelmed. I think David100351 is correct people fill out the registration and hand it to bot drones. If anyone has successfully got this under control for a big site let me know as it makes it more work than it is worth.
WordPress is brilliant with anti-spam but have not had the same results with Buddypress. I am thankful for all the work people have done with BuddyPress and know they will say it is an MU problem, but I just want to use BuddyPress without spending so much time fighting spam. Anyone else tried wangguard?

You may also want to look into a plugin that will allow you to use the same e-mail address all accounts, unless you really want to create either 1). 300 E-Mail Accounts or 2). 300 Forwards.

You can check the plugin below out. It should suite your needs.

Okay, all the DB info matches up with the wp-config.php.

Install BuddyPress first.

Activate your Evolve theme.

Install and activate BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP Evolve theme compatible with BuddyPress.

Go through the BP Compatibility Process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

I’m coming across the same barrier… Pulling the group image at different sizes is fine, however when you try and modify the group avatar size from the group admin perspective, it get’s a bit tricky. Try and upload and small icon for a group and you will notice it puts the little logo on a black background and resizes it akwardly.

Looking for something to hook onto to modify this setting and I can’t see anything pertaining to size in the BP template set

`

<input type="submit" name="upload" id="upload" value="” />

‘delete_group_avatar’, ‘component’ => ‘groups’, ‘wrapper_id’ => ‘delete-group-avatar-button’, ‘link_class’ => ‘edit’, ‘link_href’ => bp_get_group_avatar_delete_link(), ‘link_title’ => __( ‘Delete Avatar’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘link_text’ => __( ‘Delete Avatar’, ‘buddypress’ ) ) ); ?>

<img src="” id=”avatar-to-crop” class=”avatar” alt=”” />

<input type="submit" name="avatar-crop-submit" id="avatar-crop-submit" value="” />

<input type="hidden" name="image_src" id="image_src" value="” />

`

Any thoughts on how to modify size, right from the upload process?

Good. See if you have the bb-config.php you should have at the root of your WP install and check if necessary DB information is correct in bb-config.php

According to the link, these should be in my database:

yourPrefix_bb_forums
yourPrefix_bb_meta
yourPrefix_bb_posts
yourPrefix_bb_terms
yourPrefix_bb_term_relationships
yourPrefix_bb_term_taxonomy
yourPrefix_bb_topics

Those are all present.

I want to discuss seeking some help and suggestions about my new BuddyPress site. I can’t post at forum. When I click on ‘Post new topic’ it redirects me to the community tab to read others’ topics!!! What should I do?

It’s a feature of WP 3.3

Thanks @mercime that worked perfectly! I’m sure others have the same issue.
