Topic: Membership Requests Email
Hi all,
I have implemented member requests as per this guide after a large number of spammy registrations and spoof email addresses:
It seems to work well in that it doesn’t seem to generate the confirmation email address, but allows me to approve instead.
The problem is that when I choose to delete the request, BuddyPress tries to send an informational email to the spoof email address to inform them their request has been denied:
“Sorry, your request to join the site “My BuddyPress Site” has been declined”
How can I prevent these unnecessary emails being generated?
Thanks
KevinTopic: topic marked as spam
Once in awhile a bot or user will get into the site and send out a bunch of unwanted messages to lots of users. Is there a way to delete all mail, clean up notifications, and clean up recipients, related to a specific user? I’ve gone into the db and eliminated the messages themselves, and the notifications, but I can’t figure a way to clean the table wp_bp_messages_recipients. Without setting this table straight, users see that they have unread messages, but since I deleted the messages they can’t do anything at that point. So they always think they have unread messages.
I think I want to try and use a Forum plugin to handle my registrations. The reason is because I’d rather avoid the email confirmation process, and use ReCaptch instead for spam control.
The problem is that there’s Extended Profile meta that I would want to capture and insert at the time of user creation.
What’s the right way to insert that Profile Data if I wanted to use another form plugin for user registration?
Topic: BuddyPress and IPv6
Note: I am submitting this again because for some reason my initial post was marked as spam. I’m assuming because I edited it after I submitted it.
What is happening is when I try to make a change to the Components section in BuddyPress settings, I get the infamous “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.” when I try to save the settings and the settings do not take effect.
I am able to successfully enable and disable settings on the Options tab.
I have followed all the steps on several sites that talk about sorting this error, including reinstalling WordPress, deactivating all plugins, enabling debugging, using the default theme, regenerating permalinks, etc. etc.
The account has administrator role, and bbp_keymaster capabilities, from my attempt to fix the problem by installing bbPress. Deleting the database and starting over is not an option, even though this is a new site, I already have content.
What is odd is, when I get the error in WordPress, there are no corresponding PHP or Apache errors, and when I enable debugging, no errors are logged.
The only explanation I can come up with is that I have enabled IPv6/dual stack support on my network and it appears that the connection IP from my account isn’t consistent. Sometimes it connects with the IPv4 address, sometimes with the IPv6 address. That’s the only odd thing I can see in the Apache logs.

- WordPress Version: 5.8.1
- Directory install in root directory
- Upgraded from WordPress 5.7.1
- WordPress functions properly, other than this one problem
- BuddyPress Version: 9.1.1
- Not upgraded from a previous version
- Other Plugins: BP Better Messages, Comments Like Dislike, Top Bar, WP Cerber Security, WP Mail SMTP
- Theme: NS Minimal with minor css tweaks
- Core files have not been modified in any way
- No custom functions
- bbPress not installed, although I did install it to see if it would fix the problem
- No server error logs, which is weird
- Self hosted on a home network. I’m not a novice at this, I have done this for years, including a previous WordPress website where I had BuddyPress installed in the same environment, and did not have this issue. The only thing that has changed is the IPv6 support.
- Server OS: Debian GNU/Linux, Bullseye, typical LAMP stack
- I have tried both the Legacy and Nouveau BuddyPress themes
- I have made no changes to BuddyPress template files
- The only other information that might have a bearing on this is that I am not running WordPress “The Debian Way”. I have copied all the files, including the symlinked php libraries, out of the Debian file structure and am running them out of a folder in my home directory. Apache is running as that group and user. But again, I have done this for an entire year, successfully, with another website. Running WordPress this way allows me to use the built in WordPress update system, which doesn’t function as expected if you run WordPress “The Debian Way”.
Hi:
It appears I have over 20,000 spam entries in my website’s MySQL database. Because of this, my website became inoperable. I was helped discover this by other technical folks…he said,
“It looks like these entries are coming from the BuddyPress plugin. Each of these entries is a BuddyPress group. You should be able to delete the groups within BuddyPress. It also looks like removing user 2321 would go a long way towards preventing the spam that you are seeing.”
Being rather new to the WordPress environment, and BuddyPress in particular, I cannot see how to do that. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.
I am using WP 5.8.1 running the “Type” theme and BuddyPress 9.1.1 and the site is worldtalkfree.com. My email address is fractalier@aol.com.
I’m running WordPress 5.8.1 running Astra theme.
Buddypress 9.11This is an odd question, but I did something that I now can’t figure out for the life of me on my http://www.charlottemasoneducation.org website to require admin approval for registration. In other words, when someone tries to register, I have to approve them before they can engage with the site. I looked through all my plugins listed below and one of them is giving this functionality, but I can’t figure out which one and how. I want to replicate it on another site I’m working on but I’m not able to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
I thought maybe BP Simple Private, but that only makes the site private, it doesn’t provide the approval process functionality.

I’m trying to solve an issue with replies to activity comments that aren’t appearing on the site (even though they’re in the database and not marked as spam). I tried posting a new reply to an activity comment as a test, and when the reply was posted, it came with 2 errors, SQL queries which failed because the table ‘wp_bp_optouts’ doesn’t exist.
I’ve no idea if this is related to my original problem, but I want to see what the situation is with this missing table anyway. I can’t see it in the database. It’s possible there was an issue because we froze our version of BP a good few major releases back, then upgraded to the latest recently. However, I made sure to upgrade sequentially through the intermediate releases in order to pick up any e.g. database changes, and we’ve not noticed any issues until now (many months after our big upgrade). We’re currently on BP 9.0.0, WP 5.8.
Hi, I am wondering if where could I find the total number of notifications in database? I search it up in the source code and I found
$notification_item->total_countHowever, I can’t find a column or any value in the database.
I need to delete all notification counts because some intruders successfully registered my Buddypress and he/she send all spam messages to all my users. I already deleted all the messages, but counted notifications are remained. Kindly, help me. Thanks.
Hi
Currently inherited a website which has a terrible spam issue with BP.
Simply put no measures were taken so it ran rampant. I have sorted this, but am now left with a very bloated DB.
Having used
SELECT * FROM wp_signups WHERE active = 0;I get the list of all inactive users.
From here could some suggest the best way to remove all the data attributed to these inactive spam users?
It boggles me that there isn’t something online.
The reason i ask is i note the usermeta table is bloated along with the wp_signups, so i assume there is some relationship data in there, which ideally needs to go along with the inactive spam signups.
Any guidance appreciated.
And yes all is backed-up.
I found out that the registration page for BuddyPress, when set in the dashboard overtook the page I had customized. To avoid that, I gave it is own page, so that my “normal” login was the customized one.
However, I notice that the Buddypress registration is letting a lot of spam registrations in, since it is not using captcha. Is there a way to disable it completely so I can just keep my own page the way I set it up?Hello,
The problem is, we are recibing user registration petition with only email without other fields. How is possible if i have a correctly validation fields system? This users are spam in all this special situations. I’m using Stop Spammers antispam plugin and it register this spamer but not block becasue it detects is ok.
I have a register page customized with another url and blocking acces with usual registration url or usual acces. In this page i’m showing only all required fields from my xprofile fields list.
I’m using Buddypress 7.3.0 and WordPress 5.7.2.
Our system works like this:
If i don’t fill all fields i can’t send this information and it show message error if i don’t fill some fields so form validation is working ok. When some user send this registration form correctly the system send a email with all information to system email and user is stand by to be activated using “user > manage signups” tool. User can be activated only by an administrator user.This screenshot shows when is a normal user registration: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NXahXVctAt76atlhrJ8-Hl5-KokKZqIF/view?usp=sharing
This screenshot shows when is an spamer with only email (it doesn’t show xprofiles fields, when other usual registration petitions show all fields empty or not empty): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YC2fF_g3pnrPyD7kFQaJUE9Gt_ZBzHlK/view?usp=sharing
I don’t know why can do this this users I need some help.
Thank you.
As far as I understand, sending email using STMP will greatly decrease the rate your emails got into the spam folder. Then how come Buddypress doesn’t have a setting to let user use SMTP?
If I get it right, by default, the email sent by Buddypress will be from wordpress@mysite.com and it almost always gets into spam folder. What is Buddypress’s recommendation to solve this issue?
I’ve been using WPLMS theme which includes Buddypress. Right after I install the theme, users won’t get the activation email when they create an account. Although in the user list page, the “email sent” field is “1”.
Then I install Buddypress on a plain 5.7.2 site with the 2021 theme. This time the users can get the activation email from wordpress@mysite.com(although it’s in the spam folder).
Now I go back to the previous site and deactivate all of the other plugins and change the theme to 2021, still, users won’t get the activation email. This kind of verifies what the WPLMS’s support says, this is probably not their problem.
Both sites are on the same Linode VPS server so they have the same host setting.
Now I am stuck here. Can you show me a way to debug this?
