Our site had some spammer send out massive amounts of private messages. I bulk deleted them directly out of the database table bp_messages_messages, marked the users as spam and deleted them… Then also deleted the bp notifications for messages. (We have a fairly low number of actual messages on the site so it didn’t seem like a big deal.) Unfortunately now on the front-end profile tabs it indicates the presence of messages with whatever # were deleted. I can’t figure out how to reset that – even resetting to 0 across the board would be fine, if there isn’t a recount/repair function somewhere…
Any suggestions for how I could fix this? And would deleting the users first have avoided this altogether by automatically cleaning up the messages and repairing the message counts?
Thank you!
Topic: Recover member counters
we emptied out some spam memberships from your database, and we need to know what happens next to update the count on the activity page.
The registration on my website is showing the wrong figures as 112904 members the link for that page is activity page. It should be correct and we have also use repair logs but the number is still visible. How to solve the counter or reset it.
Topic: Notifications Dilemma
I have a strange scenario that I’m not sure how to tackle. I created hundreds of users that represent certain fictional characters. I used fake emails (character-name@my-domain) during each user set up.
The first problem is whenever I made changes to these accounts, it would naturally generate a lot of bounce back emails since the email addresses don’t actually exist. I can set all notifications to “no” in their profiles, but then I’m never notified when real members friend request or message these characters.
I don’t want to set up a catch-all email as it would just become a honey pot for spammers. I asked my web host if it’s possible to have a white-listed type catch-all for only email addresses I specify, but unfortunately that isn’t possible from them.
Anyone have any other ideas? Or know of plugins that might enable an admin to view all notification activity for certain users?
Topic: Email Templates
I accidently deleted the email templates thinking they must be spam postings, tried uninstall and reinstall BuddyPress but templates will not reimport, any ideas how to get the templates back?
1)if yes what did you learn along the way?
2)do you allow picture uploads?
3)do you allow user group creation?
4)how do you control abusive/spam posts?
Hi,
on my site https://abtomed.com/registrieren/ nobody get’s a mail while register.
Not the user himself, nor the admin of the site.
I already tried smpt solutions, which unfortunately don’t help.
Also the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/ doesn’t help at all.
What am i doing wrong about that issue?
Maybe someone can help to figure out. Also i want a “I read the privacy policy informations” checkbox inside this registration form and a recaptcha spamprotection, but don’t know how to solve it… :/
Cheers
JensTopic: Link Spammer in these forums
This user has left a bunch of posts that are only for leaving a link to their website.
https://buddypress.org/members/hastayatagi/Didn’t see any way to “report a post” is that a feature of bbPress?
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Any time I activate the plugin, I get knocked off and shown the WP default sign in screen.
When I try to log in, nothing happens except a message stating my account was marked as spam.
Not sure why this does this no matter how many times I try to fix the issue.
Please and thanks

Topic: How to Reduce Spam Score
I stared my website roughly 3 months ago but of nowhere I got a 56% Spam Score how can i fix without using some expensive tool
Site: https://www.katt.space
I have a spam attack on my website. opened a lot of accounts. And almost all of them didn’t approve.
“activation link” is sent to the mail addresses of users who are members of the website.
where can I find users who don’t click on this link? I want to delete them.I’ve tried a few plugins. but it didn’t work.
Theme: arcane
Topic: Members Page
I’m running WP 5.2.2 and the latest version of BuddyPress. Just did a fresh install and checked the settings in the backend.
I have 2 admins and an author, all 3 of us are listed as spam from the get go when i look at our user profiles in the backend…. so theres that…
When im on the /members page, it shows ‘Sorry, no members were found’ when looking at ‘Last Active’ sort.
Same message when viewing ‘Newest Registered’ Sort
but when i sort by alphabetical, it shows all 3 of us and only shows me as active and the other 2 as never active…. but when i log out and log back in as another user, it shows her as her as active and my acount as never active….
Am I supposed to register these user accounts? And if so, how do I do it? we’re all marked as spam, and i don’t even see a way to unspam our profiles…
I’m very new to BuddyPress and I have a feeling I’m going to be asking a lot of questions on this forum…….
Spambots created 81K groups on a client’s BP site. I assume I need to delete them from the database, as it will take too long to delete them in wp-admin.
There are no other groups on this site, so I need to delete all groups.
If I am deleting them from the db using phpmyadmin, what do I need to do to make sure I delete all their data without touching other data?
Is there a better way to delete all 81K groups?
I’ve created a site using Buddypress for a client. In testing, activation emails would be sent (sometimes to spam) but once the site launched my client started getting complaints from people not receiving their activation email, and their emails weren’t in their spam folders either.
Some people are clicking ‘resend activation’ multiple times to no avail. While others are able to get in just fine. The site has over 3,000 users now and several hundred of them had to be activated by my client manually, which is unacceptable!
Has anyone else had this issue where activation emails only SOMETIMES send? All the other posts I’ve seen about activation emails seem to be that none of them are working.
What could be the solution for this intermittent sending?
