I am trying to limit the number of join requests a user can submit to any particular private Group, per set period of time. For example, if a Group admin rejects a user’s request, that user will not be able to submit another join request to that same group until he has waited 30 days since his initial submission. This will help minimize “join request” spam.
I have no problem creating a new button with the proper IF statement under bp_get_group_join_button in bp-groups-template.php, but this is where I’m stuck:
When logged in as a Group admin, and when viewing the Group admin tab, I can see exactly how long ago a member had requested to join the Group. When logged in as that member while viewing the Home tab in that Group, I have been unable to pull the correct value. When I set link_text to bp_group_request_time_since_requested, it says “requested 42 years, 2 months ago”. This comes out to a request date of Jan. 1, 1970.
What am I missing?
Topic: How to combat spammers
First, please accept my apology. I’m sure this topic must already exist, but my search yielded zip on “spam”. Not satisfied with Google search BuddyPress + Spam either.
I’m running a prototype site based on WP 3.3.1 and BP 1.5.4
How do we block spammers? I tried the Anti-Splog plugin, but it refused to install. Said I needed multi-user WordPress, which I thought was superfluous with my configuration.
What is the best solution? What are the WP BP experts doing?
Hello
Folks whose email address contain the domain name of the BuddyPress site are not receiving their verification email (not showing up in spam filters either). They are not showing up anywhere in the BuddyPress admin either, but I can see them in in the wp_users table in the database.
If you register with a gmail account the verification email comes right away.
How do I verify the users that are already in the wp_users table, and how do I ensure that staff of the org having email addresses with the domain name can receive verification emails.
The BuddyPress instance is run in a subfolder; not sure if that matters.

BuddyPress is trying to be the best social platform available. We’re not about building databases of spammers.
Be assured, we feel your pain and have given/continue to give considerable thought to managing spam content in BuddyPress.
Topic: Buddypress Spammers……
Hi, I’ve been trying to combat buddypress spam for about 5 months now. Bots have been registering accounts, making user groups on buddypress. I have setup capatcha, and an extra layer of security question, but they are still able to register accounts. I even have email verification as well as IP Ban. I am not going to moderate new user accounts as it is not a good practice for growing site.
Please add some type of protection to your plugin to prevent these bots from creating spam accounts and spamming new user groups.
Is there something I am missing here? I went into my settings and it’s set to give me notifications for EVERYTHING yet I am not getting any (yes, I double checked that I entered the right email and it’s not going to spam)
Hello.
On our network we’ve been encountering a curious little thing and we are not sure if it is intentional or not.
When one of our blogs writes a new post, of course the activity stream posts this as intended.
However, when ANY blog even updates a single letter in a post and hits “update” – the activity stream once again posts that
“USER wrote a new post POSTTITLE on the site BLOGNAME”
Surely this can’t be the intended functionality? I have not come across a way to disable this either. We don’t want people creating sites on our network taking advantage of this and modifying one small thing on their posts once a day and in essence spamming our activity stream.
Can anyone please confirm whether this is supposed to be happening or not? And whether we can do anything to stop it? Thank you!
Absolute novice here, but with a problem I can not get around.
On a BuddyPress installation, test registrations appear in the user table but no activation emails are being received. I believe they are not being sent.
I understand WordPress uses phpmail(), and that I should check if that is running on Bluehost servers?
New re-install of WP3.3.1
Plugins:
BP 1.5.4.
WPMU DEV Update Notifications 2.1.3
All other “stock” plugins de-activatedTheme is BuddyPress Community 1.4.2
Note the original site was set up under a different domain name. We then switched the primary domain to a newly registered name, so:
Main Domain newurl.org
Username oldurl
Home Directory /home7/oldurlI have changed the email address in WordPress user settings to admin@newurl.org which does exist in the site’s cpanel at bluehost.
If I use the Configure SMTP plugin, a) it sends to my primary email address (not at bluehost), and b) the test email from this plugin results in
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:250 OK
SMTP -> get_lines(): $data was “”
SMTP -> get_lines(): $str is “451 Temporary local problem – please try later “
SMTP -> get_lines(): $data is “451 Temporary local problem – please try later “
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:451 Temporary local problem – please try later
SMTP -> ERROR: RCPT not accepted from server: 451 Temporary local problem – please try laterNote the problem exists even when Configure SMTP is deactivated and/or removed. (I presume this gets my email address from my admin user profile, different from the admin@ address in settings).
Also, if I don’t use COnfigure SMTP, but I use test1@newurl.org (i.e. another address at the same domain so the email is supported by bluehost) I still don’t get the email.
I do see this same problem showing up in various forums. Sometimes it’s a spam folder issue or non-existant email from address in the cpanel, but often bluehost comes up, often the problem is not showing as resolved.
Thanks,
Rory
