Topic: Restriction for registering
My version of WP 4.0
I had installed BP but deleted it after a heavy spam activity. Is there a possibility for people to register pending approval? That way I can manually approve members.
Cheers
SurenTopic: Spam/Bot users
I have akismet and I just added iThemes Security, however I am still getting several bot users gaining access to my site. Last night, 12 were added. I am assuming this is via buddypress? In the wordpress settings, I have the membership box checked that says “anyone can register” but they should still have to go through the registration process and request membership. Sometimes, the users automatically show up on the site without me granting access. Other times, they will be in the pending folder (requested access) but they are all from other countries, odd “about me” sections, and weird email addresses.
If this is not a buddypress issue, I apologize, but to me it seems like it might be. Looking for some direction.
Also, I have the “coming soon” plugin installed. If I have that activated, these issues do not exist.
This is what I have installed…
buddypress version 2.1.1
WP version 4.0.1
Akismet version 3.04
iThemes Security version 4.5.6What other measures can I make to only have real users added?
Hi, one of my sites is getting absolutely crushed by an overwhelming number of spam registrations.
I have to approve the users first (New User Approve plugin), so I can deny them on the admin end, which prevents them from wrecking havoc on the site as a spammer. However, I need to stop them at the registration (front end), also. I use BP Security Check (plugin), forcing a math equation for registration, which seemed to work until recently. Is there something else I can do?
Please help-I have so many BP registrations still coming through… Thank you!
Topic: [Resolved] Membermouse
I am testing membermouse with BP. They use a the email address the member registers with to create the account using their own registration form. However if a member registers my testing reveals that by using the email address as user name it would make it easy for spammers to capture emails from my site by looking at the URL for members. Anyone have any ideas how I may be able to solve this?
Here is the screen shot.

A post (p=230324) of mine on this issue may have gone into spam because of the number of links it had – which actually is reasonable given the current nature of that problem.

wptouch mobile pluginHi!
I’m adding BP to a WP install with hundreds of users (and these users have have their email as username)
As a result member URL are “disclosing” users email and I’ve to change that.
(e.g. domain.com/members/giacomogmail-com <— (for: giacomo@gmail.com)An acceptable solution for us would be to have a “prefix + USER ID” in the slug
(e.g.domain.com/members/u571 )So even if changing username is not encouraged by WP core I tried to replace in the DB the username of user “571”
I checked and username is correctly replaced from “giacomo@gmail.com” to “u571″But now if I visit the old url I still see the same profile (domain.com/members/giacomogmail-com)
And if I visit the “new” url I get a 404
(e.g. domain.com/members/u571 )Should I recreate the user URLs somewhere?
I tried to update permalinks but that didn’t help.Thanks in advance!
GiacomoPS. off topic: I’m reposting because I think the previous topic had too many links and has been blocked by anti-spam!? even though I didn’t see any notice/warning…
I’ve searched the forums and haven’t been able to find an answer on how to add rel=”nofollow” to links people put in Group Description. SITE-WIDE ACTIVITY does it automatically which is what I need to do on Group Description. The spammers seem to know that it will give them a dofollow link and I’m not able to change it without deleting the group which I’ve been doing.
Hi,
I run a site with wordpress 3.9 and buddypress 2.0.1 and I tried to update to the latest wordpress and buddypress versions.
Upgrading all plugins and wordpress 4.0.1 works fine except buddypress.
After an upgrade to the latest version I cannot access the activity stream.No site is loaded. Mysqld process procudes massive server load.
Taking a look into the mysql process list shows a query that will not end..
The query that makes problems is
SELECT DISTINCT a.*, u.user_email, u.user_nicename, u.user_login, u.display_name FROM wp_bp_activity a LEFT JOIN wp_users u ON a.user_id = u.ID LEFT JOIN ( SELECT *, max( privacy ) as max_privacy from wp_rt_rtm_media group by activity_id ) m ON ( a.id = m.activity_id AND m.blog_id = ‘1’ ) WHERE a.is_spam = 0 AND a.component IN ( ‘activity’,’bbpress’,’blogs’,’events-manager’,’group’,’groups’ ) AND a.hide_sitewide = 0 AND a.type NOT IN (‘activity_comment’) AND (NOT EXISTS (SELECT m.activity_id FROM wp_bp_activity_meta m WHERE m.meta_key=’rtmedia_privacy’ AND m.activity_id=a.id) OR ( (m.max_privacy is NULL OR m.max_privacy <= 0) OR ((m.max_privacy=20) OR (a.user_id=3230 AND m.max_privacy >= 40) OR (m.max_privacy=40 AND a.user_id IN (‘30430′,’23231′,’35052′,’34805′,’19524′,’28610′,’25653′,’34715′,’34345′,’25880′,’33050′,’32699′,’32755′,’31379′,’24509′,’10341′,’14430′,’4593′,’13128′,’26351′,’18474′,’28496′,’13855′,’27331′,’11156′,’9756′,’7534′,’16263′,’26660′,’24326′,’12070′,’19294′,’8530′,’10345′,’4243′,’4863′,’603′,’7666′,’4013′,’10128′,’6354′,’26156′,’7712′,’3656′,’8677′,’13083′,’15058′,’3685′,’4469′,’10959′,’3543′,’5078′,’8588′,’18269′,’7399′,’4375′,’13787’))) ) ) ORDER BY a.date_recorded DESC LIMIT 0, 20
I do not have any problems with buddypress 2.0.1 that runs actually.
bp_acticity has about 110.000 items at my site.
Have there been any changes in the sql statements?
Is there a bug?Indexes of the bp_acticity table:

Are there similar problems known with the latest buddypress plugin?
