    In reply to: Stop BuddyPress SPAM

    Halo Diehard
    Participant

    I just installed WangGuard today on a new site I’m setting up that’s been getting slammed with several an hour, and it stopped the new faker registrations immediately. Also, I’ve been using Pie Register for a couple years on another site, and that alone has done a great job of keeping most spammer registrations out, so I put it on the new site, too. I didn’t have Akismet or anything on my other site, just Pie Registration and I was pasting a bunch of IP’s and certain words in the Settings > Discussion > Comment Blacklist, and no spam.

    Pie Register has the best Captcha I’ve seen in the plugins, but what I really like is you can program random questions that the user has to put the right answer in, and that’s fun. I choose stuff that is relevant to my sites, and amusing. I was really glad it works with BuddyPress!

    And I’m not affiliated with either of the above plugins, either, just another site owner who knows what it’s like trying to track down help.

    Please ask specific questions on the appropriate forum:
    https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/live-comment-preview

    It’s not BP related, a third party plugin, and we’re not necessarily going to be familiar with it’s setup and configuration, also we have no knowledge of what theme you are using or how that’s setup or where they may have put the comments form code.

    Before asking questions of this nature it’s important to understand how theme compatibility in BP functions, reading the docs first would clarify this, it’s why we write them πŸ™‚

    Calling out the core team of contributors or forum moderators is never likely to work at getting attention. We’re all busy and put as much time into the forums as possible for answering questions. πŸ™‚

    The invalid activation bug comes up every so often. Last I knew, we’ve not been able to track down why it sometimes doesn’t work.

    @shanebp just wondering, is there an advantage of filtering gettext over a introducing a language file and using Poedit? I was told recently using a language file isn’t a good idea. See here

    Yes, this is exactly what is happening. I added info to the ticket. Hate it kind of puts my questions on hold since as a newbie to BuddyPress I tend to have them often.

    I thought this all would be simple. LOL

    When I go to register as a test for the site I never get an email to validate and gain access.

    Several questions to follow that:
    Do folks who register to the website also have access to WP?

    Anyone interesting in doing all this for me?

    Yes this link is a dead giveaway that something is wrong with how your site is creating links:
    http://www.hout.us/Hout.US/index.php/about/

    The /index.php/ does not normally show up in a WordPress site. No .php or .html extensions are normal. WordPress creates a virtual link structure that you assign to it so everything looks pretty. Something is off.


    @matthewhout
    may be correct that you’re on a windows IIS server. I’ve never used one so I wouldn’t really know.

    I suggest you contact your web host and ask a few questions:

    1. Do you have a working .htaccess file? You can tell them it should be in the root directory, same directory as wp-config.php.

    2. Is the server correctly running apache?

    Nope, is_page does not work in ajax call. See earlier comment:

    Ok, this explains the ajax is_page check not working:

    http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/26472/is-page-conditional-not-working-inside-an-ajax-function

    Is that something that can be taken to core developers and asked if we can enhance the filter functionality? As said, it’s a pretty common thing to filter by different users I think.
    Thanks for all your help anyway again,
    Sascha

    Ok I just read modernloopers list of questions so I want to make this as clear as possible. First this problem is not a plugin problem. I disabled and deleted all and it didn’t fix the problem. I also tried a different theme and it didn’t fix the problem so it is not a theme problem. TJ at Buddyboss tried valiantly to figure out the problem to no avail.

    Here are the questions that modernlooper wanted answered.

    Please try to supply answers to the following questions.

    1. Which version of WordPress are you running? 3.81

    2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install? directory

    3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? root

    4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version? every one for the last year

    5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. Yes

    6. Which version of BP are you running? 1.92

    7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? Every one for the last year until 1.9 and then it broke. I just went back to my backup and waited. Upgraded to 1.92 and it is still broken. Went through all the normal troubleshooting processes until figuring out it was the notifications that is causing the error.

    8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?
    Ads Manager WP/BB
    Akismet
    BBpress
    BB Force Profile
    BuddyPress Tiny group chat
    BuddyPress Links
    Easy Album
    Facebook Friends Inviter
    IFlyChat
    Invite Anyone
    Social Login
    Wanguard

    9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? BuddyBoss

    10. Have you modified the core files in any way? No

    11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? No, or at least none I am aware of that was put in there personally

    12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? 2.5.3

    13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.

    [Fri Feb 28 14:41:05 2014] [warn] [client xxx] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_notifications_toolbar_menu() in /var/www/vhosts/xxx/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-adminbar.php on line 148, referer: xxx/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bp-components

    14. Which company provides your hosting? Media Temple

    15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? Linux and Apache

    I’m just trying to help man i tried to share what information i had paying someone to answer the questions you cannot was just a suggestion based on what i would do.

    idk like i said your questions are pretty situation specific so to expect anyone to get more involved you may want to consider paying for help.

    it sounds like you have a lot of very specific implementation questions it might make sense to hire someone to help you out. hard for any volunteer to get that involved.

    Hi again

    Found out about adding more fields, but can’t see any options regarding my other questions ?

    All the best

    Hi Hugo,

    I did read that link you provided previously, and I have been searching the codex pages. Perhaps this is a case of “the light not coming on” for me. πŸ™‚ It is probably an issue of me not ever having created a child theme.

    If I understand the codex link you sent me correctly, then basically I create a buddypress directory in my personal themes folder (gotbooks_forums), then copy over whatever I want to modify? Like buddypress.php? And then I create a css folder, and copy over the css files that I want to modify?

    Am I on the right track? My apologies for all the questions. I’ve been searching the web for hours and have finally decided to ask for help.

    Thanks much,
    Jerry

    Cool. Good luck with it. Breaking up your questions also means that someone doesn’t look quickly at this thread and assume everything is solved. Hope it works out.

    BTW: Found this that might help the other issue. Haven’t tested it but Brajesh is a brilliant dude so I assume it will probably work. Just follow along on the comment thread below the snippet: it’s hard to tell if he updated the code, or just suggested how to do so.

    mrjarbenne- thanks a lot for the suggestion! This could be great. πŸ™‚ I will give it a try and let you know how it goes. And I’ll remember to break up my questions to one per post. πŸ™‚

    BTW, it’s best to break up your questions into separate threads, so dudes like me who don’t know how to answer your first question can help issues get resolved, and provide a cleaner experience for someone searching the forums for a similar issue.

    yeah that’s what i thought. it might not be the easiest tasks.

    It seems as if it would be something more people would have looked into, but I’ve searched high and low and no answers (or questions for that matter.)

    Would you have any ideas as how to override BP_Messages_Box_Template() class?

    Closing this topic. @trainingforamarathon, please open a new topic for new questions; this one has been untouched for about a year and a half πŸ™‚

    I know this is a little old, but I’ve seen other questions linked to this answer.

    I tried the above suggestion and it took down the site. All pages read;

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/(Cpanl-User-Name-Retracted)/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 3

    Paul do you have any other variations that might work or has anyone had any success?

    Running WordPress Multisite and BuddyPress.

    Thanks!
