Topic: How Does This Forum Work?
Hello. I’m brand new to the forum here, and I’m a bit confused. Could someone let me know how this forum works. That is, is it staffed by official Buddypress developers, or are the questions being answered by volunteers, or by other forum members? Are the questions answered in any particular order? I posted a question that has gone unanswered, while later questions have gotten responses. Is there anything that I need to do in order to get a response? Thank you.
Well… I’m running a site that the members would like to know the admin is active on… responding to questions, posts, etc. It would be like coming here and finding the developers never talk on the forums. So, it’s simple… Someone knows 1/2 of the equation to enter my admin account. Just like on here, I know 1/2 the equation to get into your account. I’m not a hacker by any means, but there are others out there who like to do malicious things to sites just for the hell of it. I have customers involved, so if someone hacks my site, that makes me look very bad. That’s all. I just thought I would ask.
I know in a response you mentioned googling methods to help secure WP. Well, I know from several years ago about making a database edit to the username for the original admin. This was before you could choose the first admin’s username. This made very good sense to me now because now its like you almost need 2 passwords. But now, with the way this is all implemented in BP, and without a work around, changing “admin” to something else is useless.
The only other thing I can think of would be to just make another account that is an Editor or similar role and only do posts on that. This way they won’t be able to access things like user info, etc.
Didn’t mean for this to blow up, just thought there might be a simple function to call. thats all
Thanks for the interest.Yo, i understand your frustration, but debuging by the “common way” is the first thing to do.
If your install worked before upgrading and no more after, it’s logical to think that there is somewhere a conflict or a missing piece of code.
Custom themes and plugins are mostly the culprit. JS sliders, plugs with text editors are also common sources of problems.There is no universal answer. Each site is different, each problem too.
I recently get a blank page because of a missing > in one of my template loop !
I updated to 1.6.1 and all my pages disapeared and i had to recreate them one by one.
After 4 years of BP usage, it’s just an incident. But i understand, especially it it’s the first time you run such a trouble, how this can be annoying, for sure !
On this topic, you claim all “it’s no more working.” but no one said what he did, what theme he use and what type of install he manage. All these details are missing in this topic. And so far i know, nobody here is a soothsayer. I’m not.
Other common forum user behavior: no or less feedback when a solution is found. So coming here and saying “it’s not the problem” after an answer, is not fair. If it’s not the problem, why do you ask for help ? And if it’s the problem, why don’t you explain it ?
Pages are gone is not the probleme description, it’s the problem RESULT description.
A clearly explained problem brings to a clearly solution.
I don’t know what happens for you. I only try to help you with common questions intented to guide your debug search.Let me suggest you that if you want to know what 1.6.1 did, go to the trac and compare the version changes. It’s very easy to find this information on the Trac. But you have to read the code.
If “it’s not the problem” with common guidance as read above, may i suggest you to activate the debug mode in wp-config file. Perhaps some warnings or server information will help you further.
Sorry it’s also a common help answer.
And as i’m french, sorry for my poor english.Hi there,
My developer just disappeared, and I’ve had hard time in answering hard questions from my clients. There’s one urgent thing I’d really could use your help considering privacy in Buddypress.
I have Buddypress running as discussion forum for a group of people. They have formed their own groups and naturally have their own user accounts. They now wish, that although their groups (if not set private) would remain public for any browser to see, that their user accounts would be invisible for the unregistered users of the forum.
Is there a way I could perform this privacy upgrade? Thanks!

Hey everyone, so with the update to 1.6 (and 1.6.1) my website took a big hit. It just doesnt look right anymore on every page. The curve on the home page isn’t lined up properly, as well as on the other pages as well. Additionally, it removes the dropdown menu where “Community” is on the right hand side of the nav. I’ve tried creating the 3 copies. 2 were already created for me. I found a few similar questions with code snippets and tried those out and it didn’t help. My theme, like all bought themes, is a maze to try and navigate through all the different component files and most of the necessary pages I need to copy say something like:
“// This file servers no purpose other than being a placeholder.
// It’s here so that you don’t get junk WP content if a rogue plugin makes a random call to “get_sidebar()””
on them. I love having BP on my site, its a big part of it so I’d love it if I could fix this.Thank you to anyone who can help me out.
So i’m looking for a good way to auto delete spam accounts. Long story short, I found this:
`function spammersdeletion() {
global $wpdb;
$from = strtotime(‘-30 day’, time());
$wpdb->query(‘DELETE FROM wp_users WHERE DATE(user_registered) < "'.date('Y-m-d', $from).'"AND user_status = "2"');
}add_action(‘init’,’spammersdeletion’);`
Source:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6212636/how-to-delete-unverified-users-in-buddypressIs this ok to do? I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn’t directly query to wordpress database. I also took a look at the wp_users database in phpMyAdmin, and I noticed a list of user_id values with 1, all those accounts being accounts I marked as spammers from buddypress frontend. If the above function is ok, can I create another function to handle user_id = 1? I’m just a bit scared of writing a function that deletes legitimate accounts…
The buddypress moderation plugin seems to only work for posts and activity. Since Questions and Answers for WPMU’s Q&A plugin are a custom post type, is there a way to add custom post support to the Buddpress Moderation plugin? Or would this require a lot of development?
–Please delete, I put this in the Buddpress Moderation Plugin forum–
