BuddyPress.org

Hello,

I’m having the same issues……..I do not have an “.htaccess” file anywhere on my hosting server.

I read that the two latest versions of WordPress and Buddypress may not be compatible – could this be the problem?

Thank you!

Rob

And…

Both atahualpa and BuddyPress have revved to 3.4.6 and 1.2.1 since this first post.

Is there any new info available for this mix, particularly in the WP 2.9.x environment?

Any of you who continue this thread any further are simply staring the ‘gift horse in the mouth’ so to speak.

~ spam in a problem for every company, be it IBM, Google or WordPress. These companies spend millions combatting it and it’s a problem for almost any CMS, or site that has UGC. If you can’t install Askimet, and/or a couple other preventative measures on your site, then you should hire someone who knows what their doing or you have a compromised(hacked) site where once again, you should hire someone who knows what they’re doing.

while not naming names ~ I have watched ‘your’ post on this forum and you’ve offered very little contribution and quite a bit of negativity. That doesn’t bode well for an open source community who provides you a product free of charge. Perhaps providing some meaningful feedback about your experiences will help the community develop better solutions instead of glaring accusations and harsh criticism? In fact your post in this community are very much like spam for the very same reason. At this point, you’ve pretty much hit an all time low since your accusing developers, many of whom work for free, of turning a blind eye towards the issue of spam. If you’re unhappy with website, may i suggest move on to another piece of software that is magically immune to spam robots, where you’ll most positively be a great asset, not only to them, but also with your absence here on the Buddypress Forums.

i’m getting a strange error on wp trunk & bp trunk ~ screenshot

I have multi site enabled, revisions from this morning… upon clicking ‘like’, seems to be an endless spinning.gif and then my default apache page is called into a frame of sorts upon hovering over any href’d link on the default apache page.

You have an old version of bp-default, please get the latest version of BuddyPress and delete the bp-default folder from your themes directory. You should not move the theme file.

I would dbl check it.. did you comment out the line in the core file or deactivate buddypress and then reactivate after you edited? I let it persist for long time until I took a look at that function, Also, do you have your home url set as an IP and not a domain or perhaps another of the compatibility functions? I’m unable to duplicate this error under a number of server conditions. If none of these are responsible, then Yes.. please file a ticket so it’ll get attended to.

Page 284 (I think) is definately the best?

Excellent! Can’t wait for 0.4

Good plugin Hempsworth!!!!, I’m going to try it right now

Cool. I could be wrong but I think that on Facebook the idea of “like” is not just to tell someone you like something… but to also modify the algorithm on the news feed. That’s getting really complex though… and would be irrelevant to BuddyPress since BuddyPress shows ALL activity anyway. Well… you can filter it of course… but there is no algorithm that decides that it thinks you might be most interested in.

I agree with you totally I also highlighted this issue in this thread:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/spam-domains-to-add-to-your-block-list

Not to sound rude but it feels like if the developers or the main people aren’t too affected by an issue then its not regarded as an issue.

SPAM is major problem and while a test site might work fine if you have niche sites around certain topics you might get more spam than others based upon the fact that spammers might come across your site through keywords specific to your site and as such the devs might not neccisarily experience such problems.

I have tried everything some spambots even seem to get around CAPTCHAs, the only option I have is to manually approve each new user.

Paste this into a ‘styles.css’ file in ‘themes/child-theme/’. It works. I tested it. I had not tested any of the solutions above. Just wrote them off the top of my head. I had missed the hash mark for starters on the sidebar-login-form declaration. The ‘echo’ statement was correct though. <<<Blah … Blah; is a valid php syntax. Altho’ I’ve never used it.

/*

Theme Name: Child Theme

Template: bp-default

*/



/* Parent styles */

@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );

@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );



/* Custom styles */

#sidebar-login-form,

#login-text{display: none;}

The above code is out of date, you can find the latest in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php

finni3 *likes this*!

I’m using Buddypress 1.0.3 with “File based” and “XCache”.

It seems all running very well. Less query’s and a faster page load.

But after some hours of use, the main Blog gets loaded with a theme from the user Blogs.

After I delete all files from the cache folder, the site is back with the correct theme.

How can I figure out this problem?

I really like to use the object cache. But I can’t with this bug…
