Hello,
I have the same problem…
How is it possible that nobody replied to such important topic?
Filippo

@thekmen The other is:
bp_groups_posted_update

What are you working on?

I’ve got a similar problem and I tried all the solution present in this topic but none of them worked…

Please have a look to my Topic to help me:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/impossible-to-upload-image-on-change-avatar-and-album-upload-picture-and-cant-send-private-message/#post-54071

Thx All

Generally it would be placed in a functions.php file that lives in a child theme – are you running a child theme? if not I suppose it can be run in bp-custom.php file that lives in the plugin folder but haven’t tested whether that does work. You can place it in the default themes functions.php file but the problem there is that when you upgrade BP you will lose any mods made to this file and any others in the default theme which is why it’s best to run a child theme if planning on making a few mods.

What the close things I’ve done is sync buddypress with Twitter. Then send sms to my twitter account and got it work. But the reply feature can’t be used with this. Hope there will a solutions soon. If twitter can do it, buddypress also can

@deltina-

You are correct. Please read my article I linked to in my first post in this thread.

@jackreichert-

There are a few of us “Semantic Web / Linked Data” folk who are kicking around ideas to semantify BuddyPress. As far as turning WP into a distributed platform, that is too far beyond scope and would require a major rewriting of the foundational code.

The issue of spam registration and posting is well discussed. If you want to learn more about some proposed measures, please read this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/here-come-the-spammers/

This worked a treat for me!

If you need to find your “Full URL path to files” you can find your DOCUMENT_ROOT by using phpinfo(); and adding “wp-content/uploads” to the end.

e.g:
Store uploads in this folder “wp-content/uploads”
Full URL path to files “/home/ACCOUNT/public_html/wp-content/uploads”

How can I create a phpinfo.php page? Try this link:
http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/764/How+can+I+create+a+phpinfo.php+page%3F

Be aware that copying the code directly from @gian-ava will copy the wrong type of single quotes as @shaista points out above.

To check that your image is being uploaded take a look in /public_html/wp-content/uploads/group-avatars on your server

@stwc and everyone else.

I’ve been experiencing problems with spammers constantly, I would get about 11 a day, (at the minimum). I’ve tried several things, reCaptcha, email activation, email domain blocking, etc etc and nothing seemed to help with the bot spammers.

All they were doing was creating users with a few profile fields filled out, so there was no big issue, it was just annoying seeing so many fake users on the site.

So all I did out of the suggestions here was enter the code provided for the .htaccess file :

# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .yourbpsignupslug*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yourhomedomain.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://die-spammers.com/ [R=301,L]
# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

And it seemed to have worked. For the signup slug, I used wp-signup.php. And so far, for about a day and a half now I’ve only found 1 bot spammer. Drastically reduced, but not quite fixed.

But we’ll see. I’ll post back if there is any change, or after a few days of no spammers.

@Andrea_r

Just realized you didn’t read the thread before commenting.

This is about WP-United (WPU) not WPMU.

@Andrea_r I don’t know why you brought it up or think I don’t know, but for the record WPMU will not be merged with a single WP until 3.0 is launched. Furthermore WPU is not compatible with WPMU.

http://www.wp-united.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=703&start=0&hilit=wpmu

anyway….

I clearly said it works with current WP and phpbb versions.

As you can see on the WPU site (http://www.wp-united.com) there is a gap on posts from:

December 2, 2007:
Version 0.6.0 released.

“Many apologies for not posting here for such a long time. WP-United development has been stalled for the past year while I have had to attend with personal life — a new job, and more recently, the financial crisis. The current version of WP-United up on the download page here is out of date — it will need a few changes in order to work with the latest versions of phpBB3 and WordPress.”

May 31, 2009
Version 0.7.0 released.

That’s over 18 months.

@3sixty Not only will it not integrate into the activity stream it won’t integrate profiles.

When I try to upload a avatar on my profile for my website (blabitup.com), I’m given a question mark. How do I fix this?

Im currently using WordPressMU and I do not have a miscellaneous setting.

I don’t know, you could ask the developer of that plug-in to see if it works. I read through the forum that some mu users were having issues.

Did you pick up on the fact that this new page opening function was only to relate to pages being opened from an RSS feed?
Absolutely! Note the reference to the li.feed above. The RSS item that I looked at was set with this token what the script does is look for all instances of this element with a class of ‘feed’ and adds a new ‘target’ attribute to the anchor. As I said though this is good to go where that condition holds true, if elsewhere there are feed links that decide to change that parent li token to ‘rss’ or not place the link in a list construct, but things can be amended. The core of the script is something I use all the time when I would rather ensure that the main page is not navigated away from.

Opening new windows is generally considered to be something that should be done sparingly and only with good reason while understanding the implications thereof. It must be remembered that the general user is simply extremely unfamiliar with how something like a browser works, yes I trap new windows to tabs but if a inexperienced user is allowing new windows to open then what can happen is the classic confusion often referred to as ‘breaking the back button’ A new window opens as an overlay on top of and masking the original and this happens at lightning speed that many miss the event; this new window has no ‘history’ thus the back button has no function and that can massively confuse inexperienced users who can’t work out why it has ‘stopped’ working.

It’s not a case that one can’t do this but that we need to be aware of how we are now interacting with what is regarded as user choice and that user choice is not something that authors are meant to try and control in any significant way.

N.B I have adjusted the script posted to change the rel=”ext” to rel=”feed” as this is a more appropriate value in this instance.

Addendum: two free ning to buddypress importers

Import from Ning: Import Ning users to WordPress and BuddyPress

It blows my mind that this is not a core feature of WPMU, WP, or BuddyPress. It is the most obvious first defense against sploggers and spammer-members.

There is a plugin called Pie Registration that claims to do user moderation of unverified users before they are allowed to post. It seems to be a resurrection of an older (discontinued?) plugin called Register Plus. Find it here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pie-register/

Will check it out now.

EDIT: It says that the feature “Moderate all user registrations to require admin approval” will only work when Email Verification is DISABLED. I can’t get it to work, though.

Also found this:
“Register Plus plugin seemed to be working fine in 2.9.2, with custom logo and all, but now I’ve just discovered that it only sends the registration email if the registration is done in IE. In Firefox or Chrome the mail is not sent. How can this be?”
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/376015

I dont think that plug-in works anymore. I tried it last week and also found out FB’s new changes affected that plug-ins performance.

Hey Robin! I also migrated from Ning to Buddypress. You will find the forum participants/moderators here to be quite responsive and informative. In fact, I have received hints from generous forum moderators that were very helpful in getting my blog setup. Basically, any question you search for on google with regard to setting up wordpress/ buddypress many times will point to this site. You will find that other people have asked similar questions and received answers from those who already know how to do it.

If you can get someone to help you set up a wordpress blog/website, then you can become accustomed to the admin control panel for wordpress. From there you can install the buddypress plugin and get your social network up and running. Ning webmasters still have till July to move it or lose it, so you have time to learn the wordpress/buddypress stuff.

I would suggest test WordPress/WordPressMU with BuddyPress out of the box at http://testbp.org/ (except header image which was added by Andy). Same username and password as you used in this site.

Hi welcome Im a former spruz user using buddypress as an alternative. I can help whats up?
