BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I am building a new buddypress website and want to set all spam preventions before going live.

Does this honeypot code still work for buddypress register page?

// BuddyPress Honeypot
function add_honeypot() {
    echo '';
}
add_action('bp_after_signup_profile_fields','add_honeypot');
function check_honeypot() {
    if (!empty($_POST['system55'])) {
        global $bp;
        wp_redirect(home_url());
        exit;
    }
}
add_filter('bp_core_validate_user_signup','check_honeypot');

best regards,
flamuren

Hi,
I realy like your invitations feature where you can invite friends to your site.

But this feature was introduced in BP 8 and still has no option to limit emails per timeframe or user or a captcha protection. So you cant switch it on. Otherwise you postbox will be flooded with spam.
As Tatiana K says “scariest feature ever” in this post:

BP 8.0 Introduces Site Membership Invitations

Plz, can this be introduced to any of the next versions? Or at least a helping hand to code it.

So I’m trying to implement a way to redirect users after registering or first time login to automatically go to their Buddypress profile Settings > General to edit their profile picture, cover photo and other profile details.

Doing this so we can determine who is a spam bot and who is active.

Can anyone help me? I’ve been trying codes all day long and so far no luck at getting someone’s username to show up in the link successfully.

Example of the link I’m trying: https://example.com/kokiri/settings/general

Okay let me put this short and simple – first of all I’m not a spammer I’m a regular user requesting support for buddypress…. Just cause I don’t have a profile picture doesn’t automatically mean I’m a spammer. Does somebody need to see my driver license to prove it?

Why isn’t there a way to ban users permanently or set a time until their allowed with a custom message?

Why?

Hey guys,

I’m wondering if you can help.

I installed BB-Press & BuddyPress a few weeks ago and quickly found the need to add a CAPTCHA to stop the spam sign ups.

I installed it, and it slowed them down, but I’m still getting sign ups that are clearly fake.

Attached is a screenshot of the settings and below is a link to the website forum.

Are you able to see where they might be getting through?

Hi,
Someone changed all users to spam, altho I don’t see Spam as a choice Anywhere.

How can I change them to active again? I’ve bulk and sgl selected and clicked to active, participant, etc. but nothing changes.

Would appreciate your assistance.

I have a website running BuddyPress with 50000 users and we are hit by a lot of spam user creations. We managed to mitigate it but it ends up bloating the uploads folders with thousands of avatar images that end up staying there when deleting user accounts. Is there a hook or function dedicated to handling avatars that is not working on my hand when deleting a user or is this normal?

I saw that this topic asked the same question a looooong time ago but no answers and can’t find anything in documentation about that.

How to discard unused uploaded avatar images in wp-content/uploads/avatars

i want to get only 2 comments , on load of activity page . wich i really get using my code
“add_filter(‘bp_use_legacy_activity_query’, function ($value, $method, $args) {
if ($method == “BP_Activity_Activity::get_activity_comments”) {
return true;
}
}, 10, 3);

add_filter( ‘bp_activity_comments_user_join_filter’, function( $value, $activity_id, $left, $right, $spam = ‘ham_only’ ) {
// Modify the SQL query to fetch only two comments
global $wpdb, $bp;
$bp = buddypress();

$xprofile_active = function_exists(‘bp_is_active’) && bp_is_active( ‘xprofile’ );

// Initialize fullname related variables
$fullname_select = $fullname_from = $fullname_where = ”;

// Select the user’s fullname with the query if XProfile is active and user has filled the field.
if ( $xprofile_active ) {
if ( bp_has_profile() ) {
// Get the field value if user has filled it.
$field_id = 1; // Modify this according to your field ID.
$field_value = bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=’ . $field_id );
if ( !empty( $field_value ) ) {
$fullname_select = “, pd.value as user_fullname”;
$fullname_from = “, {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd “;
$fullname_where = “AND pd.user_id = a.user_id AND pd.field_id = $field_id”;
}
}
}

// Don’t retrieve activity comments marked as spam.
if ( ‘ham_only’ == $spam ) {
$spam_sql = ‘AND a.is_spam = 0’;
} elseif ( ‘spam_only’ == $spam ) {
$spam_sql = ‘AND a.is_spam = 1’;
} else {
$spam_sql = ”;
}

// Modify the SQL query to fetch only two comments
$sql = $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT a.*, u.user_email, u.user_nicename, u.user_login, u.display_name{$fullname_select}
FROM {$bp->activity->table_name} a, {$wpdb->users} u{$fullname_from}
WHERE u.ID = a.user_id {$fullname_where}
AND a.type = ‘activity_comment’ {$spam_sql}
AND a.item_id = %d
AND a.mptt_left > %d
AND a.mptt_left < %d
ORDER BY a.date_recorded ASC
LIMIT 2″,
$activity_id, $left, $right );

return $sql;
}, 10, 5 );”

but it give me also count 2 , can i get original count.

means , any activity has 10 comment then it display only 2 but give count 10
