    I’m experiencing issues with the password field on the registration form. While it’s not displaying a password that exists (and every time I refresh it, it updates to a different one), it displays something random for any user who finds this page. I think this is why we keep getting so many spam requests…

    Is there any way to hide that field input by default?

    I found another topic here regarding a different theme conflict: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/password-key-input-invisible-by-default-help/
    TIA

    I can recommend this plugin. I get no spam signups and I’ve removed captcha. https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/cleantalk-spam-protect/

    I’ve had it installed now for over a year, it’s blocked them all.

    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?

    From what I can see in my dashboard, users marked as Spam still show up in the All users section. Unfortunately there seems to be no way to sort them so you might have to individually set each back to “Not spam”.

    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.

    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.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately after the latest bp update Version 12.0.0 I am inundated with spam sign ups!

    Previously, it was possible to delete the registration page entirely, which I had tdone because of excessive spam registrations.

    However now BuddyPress pages are no longer accessible in the network admin panel & BuddyPress Settings. I even tried addding an obscure page name slug in the urls section of buddypress settings, but I’m still inundated with spam sign-ups.

    I use a plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-registration/ to navigate around the weak registration page and I am still using it except that I have the main buddypress registration page causing sign up problems which I cannot fix.

    Perhaps I’m overlooking something. If so, could you provide suggestions on how to secure the BuddyPress registration page or eliminate it completely which I would almost prefer to do as
    I’ve never been able to customize it and secure it from massive unwanted registrations

    Thank you for your time and patience
    Mark M.

    Previously, it was possible to eliminate the registration page entirely, which I had to do because of excessive spam sign-ups. However, after the latest update, I attempted to delete the page, only to find that BuddyPress pages are no longer accessible in the network admin panel. I even tried renaming the registration page to something obscure, but I’m still inundated with bot and spam sign-ups.

    Is the BuddyPress team aware of what I perceive as a major setback in the latest update? Previously, I used a plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-registration/) to navigate around the weak registration page and I am still using it except that I have the main buddypress registration page causing problems which I cannot cancel. Perhaps I’m overlooking something. If so, could you provide suggestions on how to secure the BuddyPress registration page or eliminate it completely which I would prepare to do as
    I’ve never been able to customize it

    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.

    You can use any SMTP plugin with third-party email providers like SendGrid, Mailgun, Elastic Email, etc. Having a dedicated IP can increase email deliverability and reduce the chances of landing in spam folders.

    The Codex mentions here that there is a page in Settings > Email but I don’t see it.

    So I have 2 questions : by default, does sending a notice as an admin to all users triggers a mail to be sent?

    And if so where do I configure/disable it? With 40000 users I’d like to be able to notify users but not send a load of email spam.

    (damn the spam on this forum seems constant, that’s frustrating)

    I’m using BBpress.
    In fact the website I’m working on used BBpress and i’m trying to integrate that and Buddypress (that I enabled mainly to add private message to the website).

    bbpress has the advantage to contain templates that work directly when you enable both plugin.

    I’m trying to pull all the information from both bbpress profile and buddypress profile to an existing custom theme profile page but that’s the challenging part.

    @awol I’m not sure whether david00116 is a spammer or not. One of their messages was clearly a spam.

    I’ll test Blocksy again with BP 12.0 to see if I can reproduce the activity comment/reply issue.

    Removing the activation URL/key combo from the activation email and requiring users to manually copy and paste the key could indeed help slow down spam registrations to some extent. This approach introduces an additional step that may be more challenging for automated bots to complete, as they would need to extract the key from the email and input it accurately into the form. While it might inconvenience legitimate users slightly, it could potentially deter some automated spam bots.

    However, it’s important to note that determined spammers might still find ways to automate this process, such as using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract the key from the email. Balancing security with user experience is crucial. Here are a few considerations:

    User Experience: Requiring users to manually copy and paste the activation key can be frustrating, especially for users who are less technically inclined. It might lead to a higher abandonment rate during the registration process.

    Accessibility: This method might pose difficulties for users with visual impairments or those using screen readers.

    Alternate Solutions: There are other methods to combat spam, such as CAPTCHAs, email verification, and behavior analysis. You might consider combining multiple techniques for a more effective anti-spam solution.

    Testing: Before implementing such a change, it’s recommended to conduct testing to see if it indeed reduces spam registrations without significantly impacting legitimate users.

    As for your request to add “TWITCHAUDIENCESPOTLIGHT,” I’m not quite clear on where you would like to add this text. Could you please provide more context or specify where exactly you want to insert this text?

    Hi, I just wanted to let people know that German users have a complete translation now on wp.org when they install or update BuddyPress.

    (Until yesterday, while the basic frontend was covered, ~1000 translations were missing)

    You may also review my work on this link and submit any fixes you might have:

    Lookup buddypress on translate.wordpress.org, avigate to German and select my per-Project
    translations there. I am not including links for now as my other topic was flagged as spam.

    I am still working on some fixups, if you find anything to comment on, please do,
    and submit your improvements if you can (just signup on the page)!

    If you need the formal German, reply here, I am subscribing this topic.
