BuddyPress.org

Thank you. I went through the second round! installed even the one mentioned above

confronted “do not have associated wordpress pages” problem
searched for help and came up with https://buddypress.org/support/topic/do-not-have-associated-wordpress-pages/

It all sounds very complicated to me. Is there somewhere a clear HOWTO to install this.
I have deactivated and deleted the plugin.(all sorts of spams including viagra!! were present on the pages)

cleartalk blocked 80 spams! Thankfully I installed the spam blocker on time

I would LOVE to be able to edit the code. The plugin url is here –

https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-login-redirect/

I would LOVE to be able to change the ‘default’ value to say ‘My Profile Wall’ and then hard code it so it using the php method you mentioned above so it gives users the option of redirecting themselves to their profile wall.

You can see a live version of it on my site http://milemarker20.com/wp-login.php

(I plan to change the location of the login url to help prevent spam.)

Thanks @henrywright

Spammers seem to leave once they see their not getting dofollow backlinks.

Thanks for replying. Where do I find the WordPress settings? Under settings in the dashboard I only have access to buddypress and general settings, along with other plugin settings.

I’m at a very amateur level with PHP, if I can avoid it that would be best. But simple adjustments are doable.

I’ve installed that plugin, but members still report that they are unable to post. If I can adjust the ‘spam’ filter that would be awesome, to allow nearly everything besides multiple links.

Update: I just found all the dead posts in the spam folder of ‘Activity’ how can I stop buddypress from labeling certain posts as spam?

Thanks Henry!! Your are a huge help!

ps – while I search for the social network notify members plugin, would you mind just having a quick look at this ‘list’ of our plugins I just happen to have on hand?:

I copy it into bp-custom.php:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function xprofile_set_field_data() in bp-custom.php

In my functions.php I used action, still do not work:

function oi_bp_actions_and_filters() {
  xprofile_set_field_data('user_status', 39, 'spam');
add_action('bp_init', 'oi_bp_actions_and_filters');

Thank you @maaazkhan007, it’s very comforting to know there are spelling police monitoring the forums. I feel so much better now… or is really just your way of spamming the forums like a troll with your masked links?

Sorry for any confusion.

I have WP multisite installed on the same server which runs my main site. It does not have BuddyPress installed on it.

I have a clean, single version of WP installed in a separate directory on that same host. That’s the one I’m trying to get BP to work on. As far as I know, I installed it through the Add New Plugins panel directly from WP.

As far as the DB goes, I’m not that well-versed with mySQL, but I can export this. Under wp_bp_activity, I can see my test entries for “activity_update” “activity_comment” and “new_avatar”, all of which are showing up in the front end in the Activity stream.

However, when I post a comment in a blog, even though it shows up fine under the actual blog in the front end, this is the row that is added to the DB under the table wp_bp_activity:

id = 39
user_id = 2
component = members
type = last_activity
action =
content =
primary_link =
item_id =
secondary_item_id = NULL
hide_sitewide = 0
mptt_left = 0
mptt_right = 0
is_spam = 0

In other words, action, content, primary_link, and item_id have NOTHING in them, which is not the case for the other rows that are showing up fine.

Not sure if this sheds any light…
