    I am using the theme Prose (child of Genesis) from Studio Press if that matters.

    I would be willing, as a stop-gap measure to manually register people, but the spam registrations are bypassing the “registration is disabled” setting.

    I need an interface that organizes all the forum related tasks. I’m finding the setup with BuddyPress & bbpress to be a little intimidating.

    It sounds like you just need a forum, which would be bbPress. The reason bbPress and BuddyPress are separate plugins is that this allows people to pick and choose according to their needs. What you need to figure out first is, what do you want and need?

    To learn more about how to use bbPress, check out the official guides here: https://codex.bbpress.org/

    There are also plugins specifically to add functionality to bbPress, such as spam control and other neat things:

    Hope that helps.

    Hi, I want to allow all HTML. We are in a closed environment and spam, etc. is not a concern.

    Hi @ubernaut

    Yes, if WangGuard detect a user as splogger and you mark it as not splogger, he is flagged as “Checked Forced”. That will force to WangGuard to accept that user as good user at your WordPress.

    But if you mark a user as Splogger, and then, you mark it again as Not Splogger, he is flagged as Checked user and he is removed from WangGuard database.

    Thanks, I have uploaded the plugin to wordpress. But I didnt understand what you said earlier: “Log in with new admin and visit profile page of old admon then in admin bar there will be link to unmark”

    Where do i find the profile page?

    I would like to offer two ideas for consideration:

    1) Integrating basic anti-spam capabilities into core
    2) Improving performance via fragment caching

    1) I realize that there are already good plugins that deal with spam, both comment and multisite blogspam. But being spam, it is a cat and mouse game and I feel that buddypress should have some basic anti-spam protection out of the box. For example, a hidden text field via css as a honeypot. Users who are not at all comfortable coding or editing files can turn this on or have it on by default (rather than try to follow guides like this: http://www.pixeljar.net/2012/09/19/eliminate-buddypress-spam-registrations/)

    2) This was touched on in the recent buddypress panel discussion:

    (caching: 19min – 22min)

    After spam, the biggest issue that I’ve heard is with performance. I think we should start to address this. For more info and details see this thread.

    One of the challenges of using caching plugins like WT3 is that they don’t work for signed in members of buddypress sites. But a fragment caching system can still cache parts of the page which are ‘static’ and would not change as a result of the user activity.

    I tried creating another admin, but there is no option to unmark any admins as sploggers. I guess Buddypress and Wang Guard dont work well together.

    create a new user in admin and change that account to admin. then logout. login with new admin account and mark your other account not a spammer in wanguard

    idk whnever i have accidentally marked someone as a spammer i just un-mark using wangguard they will then show up as forced green status maybe that doesn’t unmark them in buddypress’s eyes. perhaps @jconti knows more.

    How do you do that? I want both Wangguaard and Buddypress, but it seems that both of them dont agree with each other ever since I accidentally marked myself as a spammer in Wangguard. Thanks so much.

    did you try un-marking with wangguard using another admin?

    Its been a few weeks and was wondering if deleting the bbpress issues in the buddypress folder is still the fix for the spambot issue you were having. Thanks!

    There are probably a couple things happening:

    1. There is a hardcoded check to is_super_admin() in bp_core_process_spammer_status(). That check would fail during a cron job. BuddyPress should probably separate out the business logic of this function from the permissions checks. This would be appropriate for an enhancement ticket.

    2. Certain parts of BuddyPress are only loaded at some times. If you’re going to modify BP’s behavior, or use functions from BP, you need to make sure you’re waiting for BP to be loaded before doing so. It’s possible that load order works differently during cron than during regular page loads, so it’s extra important to pay attention to these rules. In short, anything that needs to hook to a BuddyPress action, or use BuddyPress functions, should be in files that are loaded at 'bp_include' or later. (See https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/checking-buddypress-is-active/). I’m glancing at wangguard-admin.php, and it looks like there are quite a few places where you’re attempting to do BP stuff in the main plugin file – try breaking it out into a separate, BP-specific file, which is loaded in the manner described in that link.

    If you can, you might also try turning up your error reporting level on your test installation, making sure that it’s going to your Apache error log or wp-content/debug.log. It could be that something’s happening that’s causing a non-fatal error, and your php.ini settings are too low for it to be showing up. wp-cron can be sensitive to that sort of thing.

    cheers, looking at that atm the problem isn’t the sign ups now though, they seem to have stopped. The problem is deleting the ones that exist, i can’t delete them in the wp_users table because they don’t have any common attributes whereas they do in other tables.

    Spammers will find any way to get into a site, nothing new there. If you know exactly how registrations are getting through then email it in.
