Topic: SPAM, SPAM, EVERYWHERE!
Yes, I consider myself a newbie to WordPress and related programs and maybe this is a dumb question but the level of spammers I seem to attract on my site is seriously causing me to consider taking down my site. I’ve tried to employ multiple spam blockers, including modifying my .htaccess file that checks against known spammer providers, plus using several plug-ins that either ask human questions to block bots and plug-ins to block by IP address etc. and spammers still get through!
What I’m trying to get rid of is this:
The spammers typically avoid making a new Group in Buddy Press and don’t generally mess with forums BUT if you go to Members, sort by activity, the damn spammers add a URL which is clickable and it is the usual payday loan or other garbage. What I find curious from a spammer’s point of view, is this really effective? Who’s going to scan a member’s list and then click on a payday loan site?
My question is HOW or CAN you prevent a new member when registering from somehow adding this crap? I’ve had some clown from Russia add dozens of pages trying to sell illegal steroids using this method. I finally blocked the multiple IP’s and email address this idiot was using. I even got Microsoft to take away his Hotmail accounts.
Hi I am using wordpress 3.5.1 plus just installed buddypress 1.7.
All looks great, but on testing registration, no mail seems to be sent?
(I’ve checked spam folders).Any suggestions?
( I read somewhere that I should check that PHP mailer is installed on my server- could this be the problem?)
I had no problem with earlier installs.Thanks for the advice.
Hello all,
I have been setting up a Multisite network for sometime now, and was recently waiting for BP 1.7 final to be released so I can have social networking for all of my subdomain sites. Before installing the final version I tested the Beta on a “sandbox” which exactly replicates the main network I will be putting BP on.
Using:
Wordpress 3.5.1
BP 1.7
BP Multi Network
BBPressHere is the problem:
Once installing BP 1.7 final on my main site and network activating it, everything seems to work fine except I am not seeing the BP tables for individual subdomains. Hopefully this line for my error_log will give you an idea of the issue I am having:
[11-Apr-2013 12:12:05 UTC] WordPress database error Table ‘guild_wrdp1.wp_3_bp_activity’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT a.*, u.user_email, u.user_nicename, u.user_login, u.display_name FROM wp_3_bp_activity a LEFT JOIN wp_users u ON a.user_id = u.ID WHERE a.is_spam = 0 AND a.hide_sitewide = 0 AND a.type != ‘activity_comment’ ORDER BY a.date_recorded DESC LIMIT 0, 20 made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), include(‘/themes/WoWTheme3/page.php’), get_template_part, locate_template, load_template, require(‘/themes/WoWTheme3/content-page.php’), theme_get_content, the_content, apply_filters(‘the_content’), call_user_func_array, bp_replace_the_content, apply_filters(‘bp_replace_the_content’), call_user_func_array, BP_Activity_Theme_Compat->directory_content, bp_buffer_template_part, bp_get_template_part, bp_locate_template, load_template, require(‘/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php’), bp_get_template_part, bp_locate_template, load_template, require(‘/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php’), bp_has_activities, BP_Activity_Template->__construct, bp_activity_get, BP_Activity_Activity::get
One thing to note is that the entire network was setup BEFORE installing BP 1.7. I only have 1 subdomain right now that I am using as a template. I even tried creating a new subdomain and the tables were still not created. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
The problem i am having is i was told to change the register slug to prevent spam and bots, so i did. Then i clicked publish, since i did that now my register page does not work. I change the slug back to register and that didnt fix the problem either. Now the page just gives a redirect error. How can i fix this so the register page works again. is there a way to reset that register page? or create a new one?
