There’s an old, inactive mailing list at lists.automattic.com called “buddypress-dev” which is “retired” and it’s receiving/forwarding spam. I contacted Automattic and they referred me to this site, so I’m posting here hoping you can close it definitely or at least restrict posting somehow so it isn’t used by spammers. I already unsubscribed from this list, but I think you should take a look at it!
Hi,
I’m new to buddypress and have had a good experience until spam hit me.
Every day i log in and some spam accounts have set up accounts and user groups. Trust is a key issue within my community and this breach has left my users walking away.
are you able to please recommend how i solve this issue?
thank you
Hello Boone,
Thank you for your input.
I’ve checked permission status of uploads: 755.
Cleared all caches, Cloudflare, and pauzed SSL but still no luck with the posting of updates or uploading of images in posts, activity stream or in Media Library (shows a blank page, no thumbnails, etc.).
But on top of this I’ve found other (probably related) problems:
1. Even our administrators couldn’t create new user accounts or update existing accounts. All we see is an avatar, no name, email, no edit,etc. See image below:
2. Database error:
WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry ‘0’ for key ‘PRIMARY’] INSERT INTO kuyrsd79sdn_bp_activity ( user_id, component, type, action, content, primary_link, date_recorded, item_id, secondary_item_id, hide_sitewide, is_spam ) VALUES ( 82, ‘activity’, ‘activity_update’,MySQL said:

Topic: New user welcome email
Hi there,
I’m running Buddypress 2.9.2 and can’t figure out why i’m not receiving email from it. I’ve checked spam and trash and there’s definitely no email coming at all. In the admin UI when i send activation email manually, it says it’s sent but nothing comes through.I’m running the site on my own virtual machine. There was a time when it did work way back at the beginning of development. I’m using the Sendgrid plugin to handle all email – which is working great with the other plugins. Ideally i’d like Buddypress emails to go through Sendgrid. I’ve tried the following already:-
1) deactivating Sendgrid
2) running a default theme (Storefront)
3) installing WP Mail SMTP – test emails send fine. Nothing from Buddypress.
4) looking for logs everywhere to try and see what’s happening
5) deactivating all plugins except buddypress – still no email.At this point, i’m stumped. Any suggestions on what to do next?
Thanks,
NeilWordpress 4.9.1

https://www.postcardtree.comIn the wordpress dashboard under general settings, I’m changing my email address. Seems like a simple change, right? When I submit the change, wordpress gives me a message that says “There is a pending change of the admin email to admin@sample email.com” (but shows my real new email). For the past one hour I’ve been checking the new email and the old email (including spam/junk folders) and I am not getting a confirmation email. I’ve restarted the process a few times and…. nothing. How long is it supposed to take to receive the confirmation email? Or is there some known problem and it’s not being sent? Any simple solutions to this?
Topic: Karma System
Hi,
I’ve an idea about the karma
For exemple:
Everyone start with the maximum karma (10)
If “John” spam, a moderator or me, the admin, delete his message and remove one point from his karma.
If he has got 9 points, he can’t send private message (for exemple)
And etc…
I want it can be customisable. If I only want send a message for advert him etc…
Thanks and sorry for my English 🙂I have a fresh install of WordPress running WordPress 4.8.2.

Apache Version 2.2.31
PHP Version 5.5.36
MySQL Version 5.5.50-38.0-log
Architecture x86_64
Operating System linuxI’m using Chrome to work on the site and test it.
I’m familiar enough with PHP and css and such to find solutions to most issues, but this has me positively confounded.
First, when I try to upload a profile picture if I have my monitor set at full screen (it’s a large monitor)–it will come up with the pink box and say “There was a problem cropping your profile photo”
If I minimize my browser, just click the button and make it smaller the image will crop and upload with no issues.
What?! I’m perplexed. I can’t make it do any different, no settings I can find will change the behavior.
Then when I tried to upload a cover image, it loads the image to the placement page, but across the top there’s a huge error:
Warning: transliterator_transliterate(): Could not create transliterator with ID “Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; [\u0080-\u7fff] remove” (transliterator_create: unable to open ICU transliterator with id “Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; [\u0080-\u7fff] remove”: U_INVALID_ID) in /home/******/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-attachment.php on line 292
The code is this:
public function sanitize_utf8_filename( $retval ) { // PHP 5.4+ or with PECL intl 2.0+ if ( function_exists( 'transliterator_transliterate' ) && seems_utf8( $retval ) ) { $retval = transliterator_transliterate( 'Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; [\u0080-\u7fff] remove', $retval ); // Older. } else { // Use WP's built-in function to convert accents to their ASCII equivalent. $retval = remove_accents( $retval ); // Still here? use iconv(). if ( function_exists( 'iconv' ) && seems_utf8( $retval ) ) { $retval = iconv( 'UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE', $retval ); }And the specific line in the error is this one:
$retval = transliterator_transliterate( 'Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; [\u0080-\u7fff] remove', $retval );The name of the file I am uploading is “header.png”. I tested it with a .jpg file as well. Same error. It will allow me to set the area on the image and it will upload it to the cover, but I wondered if the issues I’m having with images could be related so I didn’t want to leave them out.
Also, this is the SECOND installation with the same issue. I thought that maybe the first install had become corrupted or something so to eliminate the possibility that I was dealing with a database error or something I deleted the entire install and did a complete reinstall into a different database (however, if it is important I was using the Softaculous Apps Installer inside of my Cpanel, not manually installing, but if that makes a difference, I am happy to try a manual install, as I am capable and willing to do anything to resolve this issue because it’s driving me insane.
The error with the cover photo happens no matter what theme I am using, and the profile picture issue happens only with the Thrive theme. I am in contact with the theme author about it, but wanted to share that info here just in case it was somehow relevant.
Any insight into what this issue could be? Sorry for so much info haha but if you need anything I haven’t supplied to give me some clue I’ll be sure to provide it!
Thank you kindly,

Hi,
User registration validation is not working which allows fake and spam accounts to be created very easily. this feature use to work very well months ago but all of a sudden stop working! Upon checking forums i notice this is not related to my website only but everyone got the same problem with their wordpress sites.
How can i fix this issue? I have used 5 major plugins that were suggested but none of them worked!
Thanks,
Ozy
I’m running a BuddyPress installation with over +50 000 members. At the time of writing, my versions are BP2.9 & WP4.8 While checking my log files I noticed a slow query log entry that pointed to a BuddyPress query which I’m very concerned about. It generates a subquery with a
where INclause with over +50 000 user IDs. I’m more concerned because my user base is growing and that number could become 75k or 100k. Here is a sample
SELECT
u.ID ASid
FROM
xxx_usersu
WHERE
1 = 1
AND u.ID IN (
SELECT
ID
FROM
xxx_users
WHERE
spam = 0
AND deleted = 0
AND user_status = 0
)
AND u.ID IN (
1, 3, 13, 30,........,50000 <- Problem Area, +50000 IDs passed here
)
AND u.ID IN (
SELECT
ID
FROM
xxx_users
WHERE
(
user_login LIKE '%%'
OR user_login LIKE '%%'
OR user_nicename LIKE '%%'
OR user_nicename LIKE '%%'
)
)
ORDER BY
u.display_name ASC
LIMIT
43176, 21Ref: Query is generated in this file file:buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-user-query.php method:BP_User_Query::prepare_user_ids_query
My Questions:
- Is that something I should be concerned about?
- Is this something I should consider fixing with this hook $sql = apply_filters_ref_array( ‘bp_user_query_uid_clauses’, array( $sql,
&$this ));
Topic: registration and activation
I would like visitors to my website to be able to create posts in my forum without having to login, but with a capture to avoid spam. As it is now you need to be logged in and you need to register, when someone tries to register the receive a message they they will receive an activation e-mail which never comes. As a result a forum that a few months ago received posts almost daily has not received a post in months. Here is the link http://tenniselbowracquet.com/forums/topic/tennis-racquets/
If you scroll to the bottom there is a message that reads You must be logged in to reply to this topicThank you for your assistance
Topic: bp_activity user count
We’re getting a long running query from:
SELECT COUNT(user_id) FROM wp_bp_activity WHERE component = ‘members’ AND type = ‘last_activity’ AND user_id NOT IN (28974,30626,50225,66864,77511,78706,107191,110540,110849…
primarily because we have a large number of users who have been identified as spam and the userids in the NOT IN clause continues to grow.
This is generating a KILLED QUERY and is impacting performance:
[Wed Sep 13 09:44:06.049075 2017] [:error] [pid 21222] [client 255.155.155.33:13537] KILLED QUERY (35798 characters long
Would it be possible to rewrite this query so that it is inclusive and filters out the unwanted userids instead of it being the exclusive query that it is now?
This query is in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php:762)
We are using WP version 4.7.5 and buddypress version 2.8.2
Hello! I have a problem on my site! I’m the administrator of the site and the Buddy Press network, I’m tagged as a spammer in a baddy press. Other users can not register themselves, although the mood on the site is worth what anyone can register. All I register myself, in a baddy press automatically become spammers! How do I fix this problem?
Topic: How can I edit this page?
Hello,
I’m using WP 4.8.1, and BP Version 2.9, and WP All in One Security 4.2.8. (WPSecurity).
Website in question: gunnyret.com
I’ve just edited the BP email that arrives to the new user so that it no longer says to click on the link to activate, because I have settings in WPSecurity set to force me to activate new registrations.
This step has nearly completely killed spam registrations, which I’m very happy about, but now my problem is this.
Once those new users submit their request to register, they are redirected to a webpage that says,
“Check Your Email to Activate Your Account. You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site, you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.”How do I turn that redirect off, or edit it to reflect what I changed in the BP email? The current process is confusing my new users.
*I’ve searched for that “redirect page” in an effort to do this, but it’s not showing up – even as a hidden page.I apologize in advance. I’m a novice website builder/designer with no coding experience to speak of.
Thank you, kindly!
P.S. Here’s a screenshot of the redirect pageBuddyPress Akismet is judging a normal post as spam and deleting it!
The problem is serious.
How can I stop and disable the akismet of buddypress?
please help me!
Hi,
I’m using BP 2.8.2, WP 4.8.
My (temp) website is demo.vsenashi.com it’s in Russian.
I’m not getting BP notification emails. Registration is half WP and half BP, so I get emails, but all other activity BP notifications (messages, comments and new activity) – nothing.
I have already checked spam folder.
I tried Check Email plugin – sends emails.
I tried WP mail SMTP plugin – not working with SMTP, but working with PHP mail(). So I configured this option and still no email notifications.What can I try to do to solve the problem? I saw many topics about it, but most of them still not solved.
Hey. So with the way I’m using Buddypress Groups (no forums), I essentially want to be the only admin for security/spam (invites etc) purposes.
A user will request a Group for them and their friends. I create said Group, and make them a mod.
However, this mod privilege doesn’t seem to give them much power. I’d optimally like to allow them to change the group picture, description, maybe even delete comments, etc. Not *total* admin control (aka deleting the group, sending invites) – but somewhere in the middle I suppose?
Is this at all doable with some modifications, or an extension?
WordPress 4.7.5
BuddyPress 2.8.2
ExamfiloLegitimate users are unable to register at the site as no mail is sent for verification link. But spammers who may not complete sign up ?get verification and registered.How can this happen? Notifications and contact forms work nicely. Is it different email set ups in buddypress causing this issue?
But wordpress (after deactivating buddypress) alone can send the verification mail.
I tried with WP-SMTP mail plugin change. Tried to configure host environment. But failed. Can someone analyze?
Thank you in advance.
