BuddyPress.org

Now I copied the complete directory:

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/

to

/wp-content/themes/mytheme/buddypress/

All files and folders… but still, editing activity-loop.php (deleting all content to be sure..) does not affect my website at all.

I added link with function.php But how i set custom link (http://forum.site.com) for that?

/**
 * adds the profile user nav link
 */
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'add_calendar_2_bp_nav_item' );
function add_calendar_2_bp_nav_item() {
	global $bp;

	$args = array(
		'name' => __( 'Study Hall', 'buddypress' ),
		'slug' => 'http://site.com',
		'default_subnav_slug' => 'my-study',
		'position' => 24,
        'screen_function' => 'bp_nav_tab_stuff',
		'item_css_id' => 'my-study',
	);

	bp_core_new_nav_item( $args );
}

Thanks for the suggestion, Varun. I’ll read about it.

For the record, here’s a link for anyone reading this in the future:

Preventing Spammer Registration

Discusses the options, and ‘wares to deploy … but seems really dated.

WordPress.com suggests:

https://github.com/pixeljar/BuddyPress-Honeypot

But I can’t verify it’s compatible with the newer systems (6 years old.)

My problem persists, but seems to run in spurts…

@ vapvarun: Following your advice, I switched back to the default WP theme (2017), turns out that BuddyPress works fine with the default theme and all plugins activated. It seems to be an issue with my theme after all. The theme devs are looking into this matter now. Thank you.

Hello, Mastershas! Thanks, for your help. Now the admin bar is removed from logged-in users. It was that simple. But I have no idea with how to do with customizing the BuddyPress theme. I think this would have some code tweakings. And the Buddydev is a good idea. I’m gonna try it. Many thanks!

I was able to fix the avatar issue. The Firefox add-on Ghostery caused the problem. Deactivating the add-on brought back the avatars.

However, the “add friend” button is still not working. When I deactivate all plugins except for BuddyPress, the problem persists.

Just found a near-hit for my needs in this post by @modemlooper:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/disable-group-posts-from-main-activity-stream/

However, the code below is stripping group posts from both the “Activities” page and a member’s page activity. I tried to limit to user pages only by altering if ( bp_is_current_component( ‘activity’ ) to if ( bp_is_current_component( ‘profile’ ) but didn’t work. Anyone see what I need to change so that this snippet only fires if it is on a member’s activity page?

function bp_filter_groups_from_activity( $a, $activities ) {

	if ( bp_is_current_component( 'activity' ) ) {
		foreach ( $activities->activities as $key => $activity ) {
			
			if ( $activity->component =='groups') {
				unset( $activities->activities[$key] );
				$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count-1;
				$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count-1;
				$activities->pag_num = $activities->pag_num -1;
			}
		}
		 
		$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );
		$activities->activities = $activities_new;
		 	
	}
	return $activities;
}
add_action('bp_has_activities','bp_filter_groups_from_activity', 10, 2 );

Hi

Thank you for the quick response.
The question is which plugin?
I tried deactivating a couple starting with Aksimet and when I reached bbforum & buddypress & deactivated both: the pink background of the “Spammer” user disappeared, as well as the link “Extended”. They both do not reappear with bbforum activated. (See screenshot)
That made me assume it’s Buddypress that’s responsible for this pink background and the Extended link.
Moreover it’s under “Extended” edit of User on “wp-admin/users.php”, that one gets the status shown and where one can change from Spammer to Active, which will not work.

So just wondering … Or may be I’m just overlooking something obvious?

Regards

I need to add, Wordfence is set to immediately block non-existent usernames and this particular user is actually there. Checked the spelling several times, correct password! So could it be Wordfence takes a cue from this Buddypress Spammer status business?
Anyway, the question is how does the admin remove another admin or other user from spammer status?
