Hey Guyz, i hope i can get help on this. I think my My Buddypress install is hacked.
I have noticed that my Profile Name Field in my Buddypress Registration, generates a default username / name when users open http://studentscircle.net/live/register and this is not supposed to be so. It has put in a default value=”orhan27″ when users try to register.
I have looked at the codes with firebug, i have also realized some extra divs are now on that page.
Compared with other buddypress sites.
What kind of attack is this, and how can i go about solving it.
Many thanks for helping

This codex might help you. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
Members profile templates is located in /members/single in the bp-default theme. also, css will help you list them 
Their’s lots of plugins that do that. Have a look at the plugin directory.
eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-community/
Or; code it yourself.
http://pastebin.com/rgJ6BQc8 (thanks to David from friscotheme.com for the pastebin)
just paste the code into your bp-custom.php file and modify to your needs.
@aces I’m sorry, I’m not a coder. I installed the plugin, but what do you mean see the debugging info? Should I switch to use php instead of wp, or is there some other setting you are speaking of? As I said in the posting, I was thinking google apps mail settings on the dns might be the problem.
@TitanT30 You’re welcome. I can see where we need to adjust – the trade-off for creating 2 files instead of changing 16 files for BP compatibility 
I just added `background: #ffffff;` and `width: 800px;` to the code posted above. You need to add that at the bottom of your stylesheet, style.css file
Hey. I’ve tried to read through the forums here, on WP and over at bbpress. Having a hard time nailing this down.
First off, I do not know php. I am a traditional html/css guy, who decided to try WP. I have installed on my site: WP, buddypress and bbpress. All latest versions. the site is occupykc.net, and the issue I’m hacing is that when new users sign up, they are told they will receive a verification email, but they do not. Also, during the signup it actually says at the bottom of the page `{“error”:[“Invalid domain (www.occupykc.net) for this app”]}`. I assume this is a setting or integration issue. If it’s relevant, google apps / mail are also assigned to this domain.
I’ve seen many mail plugins but am unsure what to set the defaults to, and mail from plugin is many years old. Any suggestions or help, please. I will also have to figure out how to ‘activate’ the members already signed up who haven’t received emails. Thank you
“For the time being, your display name needs to be different than your login to update your activity stream.” per JJJ at bottom of this page https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/forum-conduct/
Or, use Google. It’s indexed our forums pretty well. So enter “Buddypress.org anok4u2 keyword-phrase-used” in Google search.
You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved then 
@mercime thanks for all your help!
I have experimented adding code to the index.php in both the standard buddypress theme and the columns theme, but to no avail.
Can any experienced users please help me as I really want to have a video on the front page.
Cheers all.
Hello,
I just installed the Buddypress-Ajax-Chat plugin and as i clicked on the activate button, i couldn’t access my site or the admin any more.
I got this message from the browser: Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
Please, help.
Regards,
Hi,
Is there any way to pick an image for a topic instead of displaying the avatar of the creator of the topic?
See here:http://webmobileandsocial.biz/tojacate/groups-home/january-concept-for-reflection-joy/
It displays the avatar of the creator of the topic each time. One way around this is to have different people create topics with different images, but I would rather have more flexibility. Thanks!
BTW – running latets version of wordpress and buddypress on linux/apache.
BP Links is an old, unsupported plugin. The error message is saying “hey, this bit that BuddyPress provides is missing (since you deactivated BuddyPress), and so we can’t load it, so here’s an error”.
Thought deleting Buddypress might fix the problem – because the permalinks say I am now on member-3. My fatal error was that I had a redirect plugin installed and I think it has fouled up the process.
Went to deactivate and got this message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /home/atlanta/www/www/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/bp-links-admin.php on line 20
I am going to try reinstalling but would like to know what to do if this doesn’t work.
a quick google search found this – http://shabushabu.eu/reordering-buddypress-group-tabs/
Havent tested it so i take no responsibility for what happens to your site. Please test on a test install first.
I accidentally deleted the ‘member’ page that I set up when I first installed BP. Now I am on permalink three for members, which seems to work ok.
However, it is my understanding that when you login you as a member you are supposed to go directly to your activity page. This is not happening. Not only that, some other pages are pulling the wrong page.
Is this buddypress or wordpress?
Do you have Network enabled? have a look at this page – https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
The option to allow user blogs wont show up in the buddypress settings page unless network’s is enabled.
EDIT: Also, RE: Roles – it’s the same as wordpress have a look at https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
i dont think anyone ever took that page seriously when they noticed that @DJpaul‘s Achievement plugin supposedly ‘failed’ 
Slightly offtopic, but still on the topic of the codex: @johnjamesjacoby – someone mentioned to me that the codex is supposed to be a wiki and that their able to access the codex wp-admin dashboard and edit pages. but when i try i see a “You attempted to access the “BuddyPress Documentation Codex” dashboard, but you do not currently have privileges on this site”
When you have a moment, could you check what role i have and if it’s assigned properly? Might explain other bugs i’ve had (re: not being able to review plugins)

Friend, and variations, appear many, many times…..
PoEdit is free software designed to make editing language files easier….
@mercime on my version of buddypress (1.5) I don’t get an install wizard on the plug in page. How do I install it without that?
@darren I deleted the forums page like you said. But, no forum was available in either bbpress or buddypress, even In components “forum” doesn’t show up anymore. Even after deleting and reinstalling through ftp. Why?
And, now that it won’t create it’s own forum page how do I get “forum” under components?
How do you “Double check that bbpress is using “forums” as the Forums base.” ?
That’s the only thing I didn’t do. Otherwise, I did exactly what you said and got a forum-less plugin.
