BuddyPress.org

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

I have multiple non-Admin test accounts at my site that I use to test user experience. I’ve tried the passwords that should work to log in, to no avail. When I try to reset the password from multiple angles (using the password reset on the site, and from the initial signup email), I’m not receiving a password reset email. (not in spam folder either, and it’s been multiple hours since the first reset attempt)

In addition, when I try to log in from the site’s forum login button, it says “Method Not Allowed”.

I have Buddypress 12.0.0 and just installed the BP Classic plugin which didn’t solve either issue.
