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.
@r-a-y: You probably meant this plugin: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-like
You’re right.. it does do pretty much the same thing. But I’ll stick with this, since it’s one of my few attempts at coding something 
BuddyPress Like beta has now been released! Check it out…
I figured that i installed a plugin called “Group Forum Subscripton for BuddyPress”

is the the only link that does not work ?
follow this link too: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support
hmm strange bud glad to here that its working now
Will see if i can speed up the import.
Will filter out the @ to and from twitter but not the whole mention because then you can get really weird tweets.
Another cool thing is that on creation of a forum topic it can be tweeted to with a nice tinyurl backlink!
Will be there in the next release.
also fixed the security leak. Its now not possible anymore to change the url and access another user settings.
Close topic. Im change hoster. Now all works properly!
Thanks all for help.
Instead of downloading wordpress to my PC and then uploading to Godaddy(I ran into all kinds of problems that way…)
On january of 2010 I used godaddy automated script from hosting control center to automatically install wordpress 2.9.1 into my hosting account. My current account detail in godaddy for marinprofessionals.com is as follows:
Domain : marinprofessionals.com
Hosting Login : wandilly
Server IP Address : 97.74.215.63
Dedicated Hosting IP : 173.201.83.101
On January 2010 I also was able to upload the Current Theme to the marinprofessionals.com hosting account in godaddy is called :
Sliding Door 1.8.7 by Wayne Connor
(A unique template featuring sliding images in the header based on phatfusion imagemenu. Look at theme homepage to see the menu in action – the preview does not work on wordpress.org!!!! Sliding images in header link to pages, or can be redirected using the Page Links To plugin. The theme has a comprehensive support forum to help you get started at http://mac-host.com/support)
As far as Buddypress, back in October of 2009, I downloaded the version of I downloaded the bpress 1.1.1zip version and uploaded to godaddy and then unzipped there which create a buddypress folder in the html directory of godaddy. Nevertheless, I also see another version of bpress zip (1.0.2) which was uploaded in January 2010…
My website I was able to change the appearance of the sliling door of marinprofessionals but am not sure if it was done correctly. I would like help adding a directory capability and enable the creation of individuals blogs per each user registration…similar to what’s is avalable for the ” http://www.umwblogs.org” website … During 2009 I have tried to get help/answers from dirrent forums but was not able to make it work, could you please help??
Hey @D Cartwright ,
I’ve installed your amazing and unique plugin, it went throught till the point i want to visit the group wiki, i see the message: “You do not currently have access to view any of the wiki pages of this group.” and im the admin and the page is public. (http://myislamicblog.com/groups/forums/wiki)
Plus, in the group/wiki admin, where it says click the (+) picture to add a page, it doesnt do anything and im not able to add other pages.
Any ideas??
Thank you in advance.
@gregfielding
What part of the group homepage are you looking at adding the player?
This plugin only adds oEmbed support to activity updates and forum posts.

It looks like ustream.tv has oEmbed support.
But as stated in the readme.txt FAQ, you’ll need to add support for uStream to WordPress’ oEmbed provider list in order to allow uStream embeds. I’m not going to be adding any additional oEmbed providers to WordPress’ default list.
If you know a little bit about code, you can read here to add support yourself:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds#Adding_Support_For_An_oEmbed-Enabled_Site
If you need help adding uStream support, I’m *thinking* of offering premium support to extend the plugin for a nominal fee (similar to other Wp plugin developers).
Yeah I know, not what some people wanted to hear. Basic support will always be free though. Of course, I haven’t thought about this in depth – just a spur-of-the-moment idea your post gave me that is sure to ignite some negativity 
Not sure if I’m actually going to go through the premium support model though.

@modemlooper
Re: oEmbed Discovery plugin – that should also work. I listed this in the readme.txt and its potential problems if you don’t trust your user base.
Also not sure if the upcoming version of oEmbed for BP (v0.6) will work with the oEmbed Discovery plugin, since the new version of the plugin changes the logic of how URLs are sent to WP’s oEmbed to enhance performance on your DB . I’ll do some testing, but if the oEmbed Discovery plugin doesn’t work in v0.6, at least you’ll still have v0.51!
Next update will be here in about 1,5/2 hours.
Also geoffm33 came with a idea, and i would like how much people want it to.
I also want to give a special thanks to geoffm33 for his donation.
‘Adding a “to twitter” checkbox on the new topic page of the forums, so when you create a topic a new tweet is created with the topic title + backlink.’
Like to hear some feedback Also request are welcome we can alway see what to do and what not to do.
@Erich73-
Haha! I appreciate the thought. I’m sure Automattic is able to afford to buy many things! I have no issue with Automattic. I do not expect them to pay me.
@everyone
My code, like any other GPLed theme or plugin is freely available for all to use. So, if Automattic wants to merge my code into BP core, I would be honored and not expect anything else in return.
I hope that my posts (in this thread and on my website concerning this issue) do not come across as me being bitter. That is not the case.
I fully support and believe in the Open Source model as expressed via the GPL. I also believe in giving back to those Open Source projects from which you have benefited. I of course have done that with the hundreds of hours I’ve donated as a moderator on these forums.
The referenced-to post above was just my attempt to try to figure out a possible way where I could actually earn part of my living by creating great-quality plugins for the WordPress / BuddyPress community. I think talented programmers should be able to do that without having to resort to consulting. I have no interest in providing consulting services. I owned a consulting company for 7 years. It was great, but I have no need or intention of going back down that road.
So, enough said with all of this stuff about me and my needs. I appreciate people’s concerns and suggestions.
Let’s put this thread back on track. Please try to limit your comments to the future of privacy in BuddyPress and not about me!
@Xevo,
no, I am not talking as “Polls” being a plugin. There have been user-polls in the past at this very Forum, at which everyone could vote on features they would like to see in the future-versions of BuddyPress.
In general, all I want to say with my initial post is that we should not loose sight of what kind of features are really important.
Everybody has different priorities and everybody needs a certain feature, but we should not loose sight that certainly everybody will need “Privacy Features”.
Privacy might not be very important in the USA, but I can tell you gonna have quite big troubles in running a Social-Network in many countries in Europe, without providing User-Privacy.
There is a good chance you gonna run into legal troubles – which is quite critical, besides that users will complain about finding their private information on Search-Engines like Google. Just think about running a Dating-website, where users post lots of private information, but literally its not safe for them to use your website.
The other feature of “Advanced Search & X-Profile Fields” should be also within Core-Code and will definitely enhance every website being run on BP, no matter your niche. Think about -for example- performing a search for the users at your website being “male” and at an age-range between “20 and 30 years of age”. This is currently not possible.
The necessity of the feature of “User-Blogs-Posts from Front-end” is debateable, most probably not being used by everyone. But did you ever go into the “backend” of Facebook in order to write a post ?
Anyhow, just wanted to highlight to make sure you still see the forest in a clutter of trees…..
Burt Adsit, a past forum moderator and talented developer, created a plugin that did exactly what you are suggesting. It is woefully out of date. I believe it only works with BP V 1.0. But, some other talented developer could possibly use Burt’s code, adapting it to the current version of BP.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bpcontents/
@Xevo, I’m pretty sure Erich73 was not asking for a poll plugin. I think his comment was about the relative pointlessness of open polls for new features, when there are still many core issues that should be fixed first.
I remember we’ve gone through this over six months ago, also with a poll and promises that certain features, like privacy, would become core in version 1.2 and 1.3. Very little of that has materialized.
… I can see that users of wordpress/buddypress wanting the wp-admin to be only for admins as the name suggests and keep the users off the creepy admin panel.
Absolutely. That’s why I’m trying to sort out front-end posting with P2 and/or Posthaste. Raoulduke is working on it as well.
yes – I logged in as that user – doesn’t see it. I will try again with the branch… (by the way – any more ideas on this very strange issue: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/after-update-private-hidden-groups-empty – sorry to use this thread, but it’s important to me )
Totally agree, Erich73.
I’d also add privacy (making parts members-only etc.), another core feature that was promised a year ago and again after polling last Fall, but disappeared from the priority list for 1.2 and 1.3. Poor Jeff Sayre has been struggling with that without any support from Automattic.
‘User-Blogs-Posts from Front-end’ can be done in most places by integrating the P2 theme or using the Posthaste plugin. Both work fine on regular blog index/home pages.
I’m trying to get it to work on the group blog homepage. No luck so far. Will post for download today or tomorrow two versions of the excellent bp-groupblog with P2 and Posthaste code integrated, as far as I can figure them out. I will need some help fixing them.
I can report that the released-last-nite bp-gallery rc1 has made massive strides and is in need of only a few mods to be totally worth, imho, of release. Still a lot of styling tweaks but that’s on me, not Brajesh so much.
Now we have MrMaz (Marshall) handling externally hosted media/content and Brajesh taking care of locally stored user content. We are all set.
RC1 is here -> http://buddydev.com/forums/topic/download-bp-gallery-rc1-here
This is not a BuddyPress question; you should be asking on the WPMU forums.
Hey r-a-y, than you for your reply
I have some little questions, after i’ve read all topics around here (i guess) about bbpress and buddypress combined:
– To have a forum as it is on buddypress.org/forums, you need to install bbpress seperatly and integrate it with wordpress. Does this way allow the Group Forums, as if you install bbpress within buddypress (not seperaly) ? (maybe there is a plugin for that as far as i know, but know nothing about its stability with the new buddypress);
– I’ve installed bbpress within buddypress, (not a seperate bbpress install). I made a group called Forums to check if forum will be enabled in it…and yes it is as you can see here. http://myislamicblog.com/groups/forums/forum/
But the problem is if you noticed, the Forums Link on the right menu doesnt appear next to blogs and groups.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!
