In reply to: Urgently need a way to export user data into usable format!

Brimfulof

It’s actually pretty simple. It’s explained very briefly in the plugin’s installation page: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-export-users/installation/

Step-by-step:
1. Download the plugin to your computer.
2. Unzip it and open the file bp-export-users.php in a text editor (notepad, notepad++, gedit, etc.)
3. Find these lines:
$this->wp_fields = array( 'ID', 'user_login', #'user_pass', 'user_nicename', 'user_email', 'user_url', 'user_registered', #'user_activation_key', 'user_status', 'display_name', 'spam', 'deleted');
4. Add the names of any custom WordPress user fields you want in ‘inverted commas’ before the closing bracket ) making sure you put a comma in between the fields. E.g. ‘deleted’, ‘custom field’, ‘custom field2’)
5. Find the lines:
$this->bp_fields = array( 'Name', 'Telephone', 'Job Title', 'Organisation', 'Region', 'Primary Discipline', 'Grade', 'A bit about you', 'twitter', 'flickr');
6. Add the names of any custom BuddyPress (xProfile) fields you want to export in the same way.
7. Save the file.
8. Zip the folder.
9. Install the plugin in your WordPress installation using the upload method.
And you should be away.

Hi, I’ve installed the Buddypress and bbpress plugins to my wordpress site which works great. However some spamming characters are signing up and posting advertising comments. We don’t get too much discussion, so is it possible to moderate each topic/reply before it appears live?
I’ve tried the Settings>Discussion options but they don’t seem to affect it.

Thanks!

Michael.

Any ideas on this? Can WP automatically mark people as spammers?

This is a weird one guys.

I’ve just got back home to see a user on my site left a comment on a blog post. All it said was ‘Congrats Kelly’ as the post related to another member achieveing some success.

All legit, didn’t contain links and the user has had 6 other comments in the past approved.

Now I thought it was weird to see this comment in the activity stream but the member not actually appear in the ‘Recently Active members’ widget.

Clicking on his username , revealed he had been marked as a spammer.

Now I’m pretty sure this hadn’t happened by an admin mistake as I’ve been out whilst this comment was left so he can’t have been marked as a spammer beforehand could he?

I was just wondering what would cause this and also how I can check if any other members have been marked as spammers?

I checked the user in question out in the backend and nothing in the dashboard or his profile mentioned he was marked as a spammer.

is there a way I can get a list up of all marked spammers or do I need to look in the DB..
Any help would be fantastic!

Topic: BP/WP holy grail > how to disable/hide user without deleting?

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

candy2012

I have tried everthing, all sorts of blocking / enable/disable plugins out there, NONE is actually doing the job.
So even though a user might be prevented from logging in again, his existing profile remains ACTIVE and visible to the other users no matter how much you click on those blocking options in the plugins.

To me it is really impossible to understand how this subject continues to be ignored by both WP & BP developers.
In times of spam and fake-account lovers, you don’t want to delete an user just to offer him the chance to register with the same crap again.
However, nobody wants to see the crap those fake users posted or their profiles once “blocked/disabled” … how on Earth can we achieve that?

To this point I would be even happy with a hack, smth like >if username =a,b,,c,d > disable his profile (do not show it to others).

Any ideas please?

Thank you!

The problem with recapcha is that armies of sad poor people are filling out spam registrations correctly and then passing them over to bots to do the dirty work.

Topic: User ’Marked as Spammer’ can still post in groups

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Probocop
Participant

I’m having an issue on a BuddyPress site I look after where a user has been ‘Marked as Spammer’ in the dashboard (/wp-admin/wpmu-users.php).

The user can still log in, but cannot visit their profile to post activity (get redirected back to the homepage), however they can still visit groups and post activity in there.

Any idea how I can resolve this?

I’m using:

WordPress MU 2.9.2
BuddyPress 1.2.3
BBPress 1.0.2

One other thing… The user can still post on the forum (BBPress), Would I need to remove them from there separately or should it work across the board from the main dashboard?

Know that when you open up your registration for anyone on single WP or WP multisite, whether you have BuddyPress or not, you will get spammers and sploggers. Only “closed” or by-invitation-only sites have escaped this curse completely.

There have been different solutions using plugins and techniques to prevent this but these bots and humans spammers/sploggers are relentless. Search online and you’ll get many answers/methods

Topic: Ways to implement a public / private bp site

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

jsibley
Participant

I am hoping to create a bp 1.5.1 site that would have some private forums for a group of professionals. I would also like to have some forums available as read-only to the public and to allow posts for a broader class of registered users (if I can automate their membership without to much worrying about spam even better).

I would also like the professionals to have the option of making their profiles private and visible only to their peers, and to have some profile fields be private.

Is this doable with plugins that are currently available? Would It be smarter to wait until some plugins are updated? And does anyone have an example of a similar site I could look at?

Thanks in advance.

Several ways, but check out this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/

To disable activations (I would strongly recommend against this – it’d let spammers access your site much more easily), put this code somewhere, maybe in bp-custom.php:

`add_action( ‘bp_core_signup_send_activation_key’, ‘__return_false’ );`

Topic: Activity not working on buddypress install after accidental update and subsequent “fix”

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

kyradk

My client “accidentally” upgraded a buddypress pack about a month ago. I posted it on the forums here and someone responded telling me to delete that file. Unfortunately, when I try to look up that post here I can’t find it. When I click the link to see my activity/posts it takes me to a page not found error.

Sooo. That did the trick. Before I deleted that folder the entire site was broken and deleting it fixed it. However, something that we missed is that NOW when you go to the activity section of the community on the site we get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_single_activity() in /home/kerilyn/marriedtoachef.com/wp-content/plugins/bp-moderation/classes/bpModFrontend.php on line 65

Here’s a link: http://www.marriedtoachef.com/activity/ though I’m not sure you can see it if you’re not logged in as a user.

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I’m having an issue with a human spammer that keeps signing up. They are clearly human spam rather than a bot, so there is only so much I can do about stopping them, but the biggest problem they are causing is replying to activity stream items which sends emails out to the original poster and is making the members nervous!

I’m not yet on BuddyPress 1.5 so I can’t take advantage of @djpaul ‘s wonderful BP labs/ activity spam plugin. So I am going to take the temporary measure of removing the ability to reply on the activity stream until they leave me alone.

I’ve taken activity/enty.php from my child theme and commented out the code

`
<a href="” class=”acomment-reply” id=”acomment-comment-“> ()
`

This removes the reply button from activity, but I cannot see how to remove the reply from the replies (here’s what I mean https://img.skitch.com/20111101-ctd8kkwk5qmhpfwciip1cgigq1.jpg).

Does anyone know where I can remove that too?

Thanks

In reply to: All activation emails going directly to SPAM folders

Paul Wong-Gibbs

It’s neither the fault of WordPress, BuddyPress or Welcome Pack that your emails are filtered into spam folders. I suggest changing the content of those emails so that email spam services are less likely to flag the email as spam. There may also be server configuration changes you could make to help.
