BuddyPress.org

I am also seeing the @mentions not working on my site.

BuddyPress 2.2.1 running on the Engine theme from Industrial Themes. Theme and WP both at latest versions.

Plugins (but I can’t see where any would cause a conflict):

Anti-spam by CleanTalk
Custom Login
Custom Permalinks
Gravity Forms (and PayPal and User Registration add-ons)
MailChimp Lite
Updraft
Use Google Libraries (maybe it’s that one?)
Yoast

And some admin plugins.

Out of topic, troll, and marked as spam.

@krisidious Sorry for the inconvenience. Your posts were caught in spam queue for some reason and I just released this one earlier. Thank you for your patience. cc @henrywright

@rosyteddy Nothing in spam. Found one for a different post you made — please do not “delete” any topics you have started just because it has been resolved by removing all the content and title in the original topic post, it went to the Pending posts folder. cc @henrywright

@rosyteddy @henrywright checking spam queue now.

These may help

[ My previous reply here had many more links, and it just vanished on hitting submit without any alert message, probably was caught as spam]

Thanks

Not multiblog that I can see – I have installed twice and still missing “Register” and “Activate” pages. All help displays settings I can’t see. Irony is I have a constant spammers registering as WP users, but I can’t find a way. I have Woocommerce and “Canvas” theme active, but have deactivated both with no change in outcome.

@jessiewordpress
I would assume they are listed as pending because they did not get click an activation in email yes.

Now does that mean that your server sent an email correctly and they actually recieved the email? Who knows.. sometimes my bp emails get auto-blackholed for some email services and users will never get an email from my bp site if they have say “gmail” or yahoo or something… (there are different methods for sending email via wordpress, some are less “flagged-as-spam-automatically” than others.. sometimes users do get the emails but they end up in a junk folder..

sometimes it’s spammers trying to setup a fake account and they never will click on activate…

if you start to get a lot of these, you might want to look into how your wp install is sending emails, what the headers look like, and see if you can adjust with something like a “wp mail via smtp” plugin or something.. and if you need to manage a bunch of pending users you might want to see if https://wordpress.org/plugins/unconfirmed/ is working with current bp version..

random thoughts, hope they help.

@jessiewordpress in a way yes. Either because the activation email got caught in their spam folder, or they have not clicked on the activation link, or they did click on the activation link but did not log in yet.

@jessiewordpress – might want to check out either “good question” (change default question / answers!) – or ‘buddypress humanity’ as well. They have made a huge impact on the spam registration issues we used to deal with.

Spam bots are clever, that’s it.

Sometimes replies are maked as spam. That may have been the reason? Either way, it would probably have been better if the notification was cleared to avoid confusion at your end.

Feel free to open a Trac ticket to report the problem to our development team.

I’ve approved the post that was previously marked as spam so it should be visible now:

Hi @hemant-ahir

echo bp_core_get_total_member_count();

This will display the total number of members for your installation. Note that this particular figure will account for all non-spam activated users even if they have done nothing on your site after activating their account.

echo bp_core_get_active_member_count();

This figure is the total number of members that have performed some kind of site activity after activating their account (i.e. active users).

Hope this helps.

Having re-looked over your code for bp_activity_add() above, try setting the activity type to new_blog_post

For example:

$activity_id = bp_activity_add( array(	
    'action'            => 'A link from NewsSite', // The activity action - e.g. "Jon Doe posted an update"
    'content'           => $post_content,        // Optional: The content of the activity item e.g. "BuddyPress is awesome guys!"
    'component'         => false,                  // The name/ID of the component e.g. groups, profile, mycomponent
    'type'              => new_blog_post,                  // The activity type e.g. activity_update, profile_updated
    'primary_link'      => 'false',                 // Optional: The primary URL for this item in RSS feeds (defaults to activity permalink)
    'user_id'           => bp_loggedin_user_id(),  // Optional: The user to record the activity for, can be false if this activity is not for a user.
    'item_id'           => false,                  // Optional: The ID of the specific item being recorded, e.g. a blog_id
    'secondary_item_id' => false,                  // Optional: A second ID used to further filter e.g. a comment_id
    'recorded_time'     => bp_core_current_time(), // The GMT time that this activity was recorded
    'hide_sitewide'     => false,                  // Should this be hidden on the sitewide activity stream?
    'is_spam'           => false                  // Is this activity item to be marked as spam?
  ), );

@thestylistquo – this sometimes depends on your server settings and your email client’s server settings. One server I run bp on will send wP emails using php that get through my own hosted email server and desktop email client just fine.. however with the default settings on my one server, emails sent by wordpress / buddypress will not make it through to most yahoo gmail email accounts… something about headers not registered or something.. I found a plugin that will force WP to “send mail through smtp” instead of php, which then gets emails through the various anti spm systems that some email hosting providers require…

I found a similar situation with contact form plugins… “fast Secure Contact Form” will not get emails through yahoo email addys (even with tweaking the smptp settings in the plugin) – with my server, however “Contact Form 7” gets emails through to yahoo accounts just fine… what the two different plugins do to modify sent from headers or whatever, I don’t really understand…

Then of course there are server ip blacklists and crap like sorbes that block things.. and even when they get through to my desktop client, sometimes outlook or kaspersky will flag them as spam and push them into my junk mail folder…

Not sure any of these issues are affecting you and your setup, but maybe that info will get you look in the right direction. I forget what gmail and yahoo call that header registering thing or whatever – they have info posted somewhere.
