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…

Yes, I have all three boxes checked under Activity Settings, including:

x Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts
x Automatically check for new items while viewing the activity stream
x Allow Akismet to scan for activity stream spam

I actually have all the boxes checked on that Settings tab, except for “Show Toolbar for logged out users.”

On the Components tab, I have everything checked EXCEPT “User Groups”

Finally, comments that are made within the Activity Stream are showing up. Comments made on blog posts are not.

I feel like there is something easy I’m missing here, but I just can’t figure it out.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry for spamming! But is it somehow possible to give BuddyPress pages certain IDs, so the comments can use them?

I am going to answer the questions like in your support outline then add additional information below.

1. 4.0
2. Directory
3. Root Directory
4. No Buddypress was installed after
5. Yes everything was in order permalinks, and other plugins were 100% functional.
6. Latest Version 2.1.1
7. NO
8. Yes i stated above my currently installed plugins that are active (All are active if i forgot to mention sorry)
9. It appears to be the default theme Jarida doesn’t seem to be doing anything else.
10. Nope
11.No
12. Most recent version of course 2.5.4
13. Error Log is empty o.o
14. Hostgator Baby PLan
15. Linux (according to company page: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/pre-sales-policies/are-your-servers-unix-linux-or-windows-nt )

Additional Issues
All users are marked as spam.. I was reading on some earlier issues and everyone is marked as a spammer upon registration in the extended profile tab. There are also no groups in the extended profile tab which is odd and I cant create it without it giving me an error saying

“There was an error saving the group. Please try again”

Thanks for your quick response, @danbp. I did not include the support information, because I just needed an answer to my simple question; didn’t think anyone would be able to help me with my actual issue, since I am using Simple Press and not bbPress.

Simple Press has a BuddyPress plugin, that integrates some of the functionality of their forums into the BuddyPress activity, and allows the forum owner to elect to use the BuddyPress profile, for example, over the SP one. But I am not seeing any forum posts in activity. I contacted them, but I also was not seeing the forum tab like I see here. I was here for a separate issue, and noticed that forum tab, so I opened this topic to ask about the tab.

Maybe that tab disappears if bbPress is not active, I’m not sure, but I really thought I remembered with the bbPress forums that my member’s posts were mixed in with all the other sitewide activity, and I don’t remember ever seeing a forum tab. I’m on my second BuddyPress supported theme; the first was Custom Community, and now I’m using Matheson.

I’m familiar with how to set up BuddyPress, but thanks for the links. Here is the rest of the info, in case it helps:

1. Which version of WordPress are you running? 4.0

2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install? If this is either or, than it’s a directory install

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? Again, not sure of the question. My url points to the root wordpress folder, but that folder is not in the root of my server, but a few folders in.

4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version? Have had WordPress and upgraded every release for a couple of years

5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. Yes.

6. Which version of BP are you running? 2.1.1

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? 2.1.0? I don’t know, the same: Have had BuddyPress for at least a year, upgrade it as releases come out.

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?

(Ones followed by asterisk are not active, since I’m not committed yet to Simple Press. Others I’m getting around to testing, or only use occasionally. Yes, I know it’s a lot.)

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? I am using Matheson, a theme listed as working with BuddyPress, and it is further customized via css by myself.

10. Have you modified the core files in any way? No.

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? I don’t think I have that file.

12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? bbPress is deactivated, using Simple Press.

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. I’ve searched to try and find these, and I have no idea how to find them.

14. Which company provides your hosting? 1and1

15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else? If this might be relevant, I will try to find out. Think it’s Linux.
