Topic: A Guild Wars 2 guild
Hey,
I just finished creating the 2.0 version of my guild’s website. The earlier version was running really old wp+bp+bbp, so I wanted to create everything from the ground up.
I had a lot of issues importing the forums and users from the old site, since I didn’t want to import thousands of spambots.
Anyway, you can check out the forum at:
[Deleted per request] and the whole site at the same place.I’m running BuddyPress + BBPress. What do you think? Site is fully responsive but I still have some graphic elements and css to fix on some resolutions. Any feedback is welcome 🙂
EDIT: One of my biggest issues is that the Search widget is not searching anything from the forums, so I have to use some BBPress search widget, which in other hand doesnt search anything from posts. Any ideas for a fix?
Before I downloaded the plugin Wang Guard, I did not have any issues with Buddy Press. After I downloaded Wang Guard and accidentally made myself a spammer, I couldnt log in anymore to admin. I have deleted Wang Guard with my host file manager, but still the problem persist. After deactivated all plugins and activating them one by one to see what is the problem, I found out the cause is Buddy Press. However, I need Buddy Press in my site. Please advise thank you.
Wordpress version: 3.7.1
Buddy Press Version: the latest one cos I always update it
Hi,
Since a lot of time, I want to fix a problem with WangGuard cron.
After testing time, I opened this ticket http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5229 because I discovered that bug, but the fix, don’t fix the WordPress Cron problem.
WangGuard cron, search every x hours a new splog users, If WangGuard find them, they are marked as spam with the WordPress function
update_user_status( $spuserID, 'spam', '1' );That function fire
bp_core_mark_user_spam_admin( $user_id );
that make all work for BuddyPress.Problem, if I use this function for example in WangGuard users screen, it work fine, because I’m the super admin, but cron cannot use it.
When update_user_status call to bp_core_mark_user_spam_admin -> bp_core_process_spammer_status from WordPress cron, it is killed, so the user is marked as spam user, but the activity are not removed.
For testing , I placed bp_core_process_spammer_status, replacing update_user_status in WangGuard cron. Nothing happens, bp_core_process_spammer_status are blocked without errors (no logs with WP_DEBUG), users are not marked as spam, no activity removed, etc
After that, i created a new function:
function wangguard_core_mark_user_spam_admin( $user_id ) { bp_core_process_spammer_status( $user_id, 'spam' ); }but that function I placed in the file /buddypress/bp-loader.php (as new BuddyPress function)
After that, I rewrite again the wangGuard cron, but using this new “BuddyPress function”, the users were marked as spam, but the activity was not removed, why? because the function bp_core_process_spammer_status use other BuddyPress function that use a BuddyPress Class for clean all user activity.
Brief:
There is something in BuddyPress that block functions and classes that are in the “lower levels” to be used by WordPress cron.
Has someone a solution for this problem?
Thank you
Topic: Delete Spam Users
Hi,
So I’m using buddypress on a site of mine, I’m getting quite a few spam sign ups, all have the same profile data, 3 alpha characters followed by 3 numeric characters (great I can find the spam sign ups with mysql and regexp) problem is, the data is contained in the wp_bp_xprofile_data table it has the user id, but I’m a novice, can I actually delete users somehow or will it be harder?
Thanks
Topic: Activation email
Hiya,
Apparently a number of people have signed up to be members on our network but never received their activation email. It is not ending up in the spambox and as far as I can tell it simply never goes out/they never receive it.
I’m not a computer person and navigating these forums is a bit daunting, so apologies if I am reiterating existing/resolved topics. From what I understand however, this activation issue is a common problem that lives somewhere in the wp code and has to do with the email server. Is the only way to fix it to use a plugin? If so, any suggestions on that front? And what is the best way to deal with existing members who are inactive? Our “Unconfirmed” user list shows 8 users, whereas our active members list is at 69 versus 125 total users. What is going on?
Also, while we’re at it, I’d love to be able to change the message that members get in the activation email. In particular, I feel it should include their login details. How do I do this?
Many thanks!
Hi,
I’m developing the next WangGuard version, but there is a problem.
When the WangGuard cron look for a new sploggers, if it find them, are marked as spam but the sploggers activity are not cleaned.
First I used this
update_user_status( $userid, 'spam', 1 );The users were marked as spam, but activity was not cleaned. I dont know why, but ‘make_spam_user’ are not used by ¿update_user_status?, by ¿BuddyPress when it is called from WangGuard cron?
This function is used in other parts of WangGuard without problems. The difference is that in cron I need to add
@include_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/ms.php' );After a lot of research without solution I used the function
bp_core_mark_user_spam_admin($userid);before
update_user_status( $userid, 'spam', 1 );https://github.com/joseconti/WangGuard/commit/612231c3935353d890bbaf10f977c8185dc33e04
But with the same result, the activity are not cleaned…
Any clue about this problem?
Thank you

“Critical Exploit: Backdoor Spam Registrations via bbPress”
I was not a problem with the config file.
When using the bbPress plugin for forums spam bots can bypass your registration and create accounts using the template files found here: buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress
Not only can they bypass any anti-spam features (including email conformation), their activity will not show in your normal forums. The spam posts will only show if you follow the default permalink: http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/ There you will find a vanilla install of bbPress where the spam posts live.
Buddypress should not be used unless you delete these bbPress files. Spam bots can easily create thousands of posts/accounts per minute with nothing stopping them until your server crashes.
