BuddyPress.org

If you’re using WP in network mode, login to the WP dashboard, navigate to “Super Admin > Users”.
Check the users you want to mark as spam and under the dropdown menu, select “Mark as Spam” and apply the changes.

I don’t see this feature when network mode isn’t enabled though (unless I’m not looking in the right place?).

Hello- I have the same problem, but I am not using twi connect plugin. I am the only admin. How do I reset the database?

I figured it out. Thanks!!

@thelandman maybe build in something like this, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shockingly-big-ie6-warning/

I read about the plugin in one of my smashing mag books, somewhere.. But they really recommend it. It advises the user to try a different browser if they cant upgrade ie6 due to using windows 2000

quickly glancing over the follower’s plugin code – i don’t see anything that hooks like how the friends component does


add_action( 'wpmu_delete_user', 'friends_remove_data' );
add_action( 'delete_user', 'friends_remove_data' );
add_action( 'make_spam_user', 'friends_remove_data' );


In a word? Yes! Doing so is really the purview of the plugin developer? I would have though it’s a simple check that a member is not equal to whatever the field is that marks someone as a spammer however and not having looked at the plugin it sounds as though a table is built up of follwers but that isn’t rechecked against possible changes to those members, essentially you add a member as a follower and remove a member as a follower but nothing happens in-between.

any advances?

Hi Chaps – just to let you all know, you are not alone in this quest.

We have customers running BP sites who need to ‘re-capture’ ‘lost/unconfirmed’ user registrations (attempts).

A high proportion of confirmation emails do get filtered into peoples spam buckets, bounced by firewalls and blacklists, overlooked in the inbox, whatever. Its an ongoing part of community/site admin to re-sift this list of unsuccessful registrants and correct anything impeding signup.

Its pretty apparent neither BP, nor WP ( == WPMU) address this ‘corrections process’ out of the box.

My perusal of available plugins has yielded some near fits for the job (reporting at least), but nothing yet bang-on (the ‘resend_registration_confirmation_email()’ function), which suprises me.

Looks like someone will have to lift the hood and write somethething to do it. (I have some plugins in mind to extend for that purpose – will keep you all posted )

I’ve done something similar, however, the user I created I did by using the dashboard feature to create a new user. I could then login as that user. (Wasn’t quite sure what level to give them, mind).

I wonder if it sent you a confirmation email (you, in the user role, not you in the admin role) & your email system spammed it?

Have you tried creating one from the admin dash?

@DJPaul – @bobkerry spammer?

Locking this as the last two comments are not relevant to the OP.

@dancunningham, @suzettekussnercom –

Please direct yourselves to this thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/registration-process-how-to-remove-the-activation-email-process/

+1 for an option to disable activation e-mails (or a pointer to where to do this in the plug-in code).

Thanks! Amazing piece of software you guys have created!!

Use the BP Disable Activation plugin by @crashutah –

Make sure you add a captcha plugin or some type of spam prevention!

I was having this same issue, and this awesome guy linked to a plugin for me. Check out my original post with his link in it: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-can-i-better-filter-spam-users-on-my-buddypress-site/

The nice thing about the plugin is that is also lets you ask users if they want to join your MailChimp email newsletter list when they sign up.

I am so looking forward to not having to deal with hundreds of spam users now!

@rsutaria Have you found out the answer to this problem ? m also facing the same..no confirmation mails.. @erich73 not even in SPAM-FOLDDER

Foxly, I would have expected you to know that getting more actions or filters into buddypress is very easy, as long as you aren’t changing the template files between major releases.

Mercime, Andy’s gone nowhere. He’s still project lead.

Im closing this topic as this is not on-topic anymore, start new posts if you want to discuss more.

@foxly: And then there’s the whole issue of *where automattic is taking buddypress” and what they intend to do with it, now that they’ve taken Andy off as the lead developer.

say what? .

EDIT – there you go again, editing your forum post. fortunately, i’ve got a screenshot of it.

@foxly, even though your solutions require code modification you do say “i’ll develop my own solution” – will these be plugins you release, or perhaps become part of the bp-moderation plugin that is being developed by @francescolaffi?

I really appreciated your detailed posts on the tools spammers employ. It has given me a much better understanding of the problem. Thank you.

I’m pretty new to Buddypress and WordPress. Launched my first site today with 95% of the “i can’t find my registration” emails solved by directing them to their spam folders. But beyond that I have three that can’t find their email, say it’s not in their spam folder, and I need to get em in. Opened phpadmin and didn’t see a “wp_signsup” listing. Checked out “wp_users” and found user_activation_key and there’s a list of 30 things and two of them have keys next to them. They’re different keys. How do I know which one to use? And how exactly do I use it. Do I go to the mydomain.com example url above and enter this key and then that gets them in? Or do I give them the key and they do that? Any insights most appreciated.

@codeispoetry – Try upgrading to BP 1.2.5.2.
There was a bug in deleting a member or marking a member as spam.
