BuddyPress.org

I just installed wordpress 3.1 and then I installed buddypress, and the Fishbook theme, nothing else, when I try to post a comment I get the same page not found error, with both the default theme, and the fishbook theme.

i think it’s – wp-content/plugins/buddypress/themes/default/activity/post-form.php

theres two lines with what’s new, i changed the the second one down and it worked for me.

Does your install/server meet minimum requirements?

Could you open a ticket on trac.buddypress.org pointing to the line that I linked above? I’ll have to install SWT and see how they changed it.

Thats bizarre ill have another look after breakfast… Its just the default theme with some colours changed yes?

@donnaamos
Are they typing nonsense into your registration fields and using email addresses that can’t possibly work, and then not doing anything at all on the site?

If so, I believe am also having this problem. I was actually just coming to ask what would be the best method to prevent such users from signing up.

I’m a bit confused about this whole thing. BuddyPress is supposed to block SWT posts out of the box: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php#L163 If it’s not working, then there’s a bug in BP.

@justbishop I don’t understand what you mean by “it will not save to the DB”? That plugin will help you block one of the duplicates, meaning one of them *will* still be recorded.

You have all your SWT’s post going into the main site, I would think to block main id 1 in your situation. This is what I found still works with the plugin i mentioned. Add to bp-custom.

`//if php is older then change $a to &$a
function my_block_activity_type_blog_id_before_save_1( $type, $a ) {
global $bp;

if ( $a->id )
return $type;

//key on the blog types (even for comments posted to that blog)
if ( $a->type == ‘new_blog_post’ || $a->type == ‘new_blog_comment’ ) {

//item_id is the blog_id in this context
//could add more blog_ids here as well or even parlay into switch_to_blog to block categories, etc
if ( $a->item_id == 1) {
$a->type = null;
return null;
}
}

return $type;
}
add_filter(‘bp_activity_type_before_save’, ‘my_block_activity_type_blog_id_before_save_1’, 9999, 2);
`

@shanebp,

Did you get resolution on your question about “search terms”? Do you mind sharing the code that worked for you?

There is something that you can do, though it’ll mess up activity pagination (which, in the case of AJAX loading, means that the number of activity items loaded when you click “load more” will not always be the same number). It involves filtering bp_has_activities, looping through $activities_template->activities, and removing those items that are new blog posts from your blog.

Here’s an example of the technique, used to remove self-replies: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/couple-thoughts/?topic_page=2&num=15#post-112100

Use Paul his BP Labs plugin to make it more intuitive for the user.. it shows a nice popup as soon as someone types the @ character: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-labs/
