BuddyPress.org

Hi Andy

Thanks for your reply.

I think the problem is the email isn’t being sent out to the new members with the link for them to activate their account.

I’ve checked everywhere including spam folder to see if the message has been received at all but I just can’t find it.

New members are being given the roll of “members”.

Could you possibly tell me where within WordPress I would set up outbound email configuration?

I’m going to turn off all the plugins (except BuddyPress) to see if there’s a plugin conflict that’s causing this problem.

Do you have any suggestions?

Many thanks!

Hello

Do you have any suggestions on a fix so new members aren’t always marked as spammers?

This is for a new installation of BuddyPress and they are the only 2 members I’ve added myself to test out membership to the site.

Here’s the message I’m getting when I visit a new members profile page from the admin area:

“This user has been marked as a spammer. Only site admins can view this profile.”

I’m using BuddyPress 1.2.3.

How do you unmark someone as a member?

Why is it that new members are marked as a spammer, how does the software decide this?

How can this be fixed or controlled?

Thanks for any help you can give on this.

Brian

you can also use tdo mini forms and put that on homepage

I have almost 100!!! (yes 100) buddypress instalations and all work fine with activation.

Try to use this plugin if you have problems with sendmail on your host: “Cimy Swift SMTP” dont forget to put the plugin on mu-plugins and not on “plugins”.

Check also if you can send emails from a mail client with the email you setup on wordpress.

Can we get this plugin updated so it doesn’t crash your site if BuddyPress is deactivated? Thanks.

yes, my mistake, im talking about the other plugin sorry.

You can disable themes under Site Admin -> Themes. It;s built in, no plugin.

The P2 theme has some elements of what you mentioned. It’s not a BP theme though, so you’d have to develop a custom theme. P2 is also used in the new version of the BP group blog plugin.

Which theme are you using and which WP version?

There is allready a ticket on trac:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2191

sacstephen, try to put this in bp-template.php

function my_bp_override_core_domain() {

add_filter('bp_core_get_root_domain','my_bp_override_core_domain');

If you don’t have this file, create it in wp-content/plugins

Let us know.

The same way they did before, just go to wp-admin and publish posts like you used to do.

BuddyPress only adds, it doesn’t remove any core features from WordPress.

This is nothing to do with BuddyPress, hackers can just try logging in as admin on your login form and find the same thing.

Number one thing to do when you first install WordPress is to change the admin account to something else. WordPress 3.0 will allow you to change this when you first install.

You can edit the admin username in your database in the wp_users table. Change the user_login and user_nicename value.

Subdirectory installs work fine for me, try the default theme and see if that works first.

i’ve found a solution here :

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/whos-online-widget-not-working-think-its-a-mysql-timezone-problem

in ” bp-core-classes” around line 139

change “NOW()” to “UTC_TIMESTAMP()”

Don’t know if it’s a good solution but it works

Strange that it hasn’t been corrected in 1.2.3

BuddyPress is definately what your looking for if you need profiles inside wordpress. But you will have to adjust your theme to be buddypress compatible before you can actually fully use buddypress.

No, buddypress is supposed to be a plugin that allows developers/bloggers to add a social network to their wp/wpmu. Personally I wouldn’t want that at all, look for a plugin or hire someone to do it for you, it isn’t that hard, you could even just copy paste.

And by making 2 topics doesn’t mean your getting help faster, just that your annoying apposed to the other users that have questions.
