    +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 –
    https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-disable-activation/

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

    How do you deal with user lost activation emails. 90% are handled by directing them to their spam folder, but there’s a few that say it’s not there or they don’t have access to their spam folder at work… I moved an existing site into WP/BP and people are pretty attached to their usernames.

    Thanks both @LPH2005 and @Paul Gibbs.

    By the way, I CAN delete the user if I go the dashboard and go down to the WPMU ‘users’ section no problem. A little bit more work, but now that I’m getting the odd spammer signing up, it’s essential.

    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!

    Hi!

    I’m trying to add my own SQL query to the “search_users” function without touching the core.
    The function can be found in bp-core/bp-core-classes.php

    233 function search_users( $search_terms, $limit = null, $page = 1 ) {
    234 global $wpdb, $bp;
    235
    236 if ( !function_exists(‘xprofile_install’) )
    237 return BP_Core_User::get_active_users( $limit, $page );
    238
    239 if ( $limit && $page )
    240 $pag_sql = $wpdb->prepare( ” LIMIT %d, %d”, intval( ( $page – 1 ) * $limit), intval( $limit ) );
    241
    242 like_escape($search_terms);
    243
    244 $total_users_sql = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_search_users_count_sql’, “SELECT DISTINCT count(u.ID) as user_id FROM ” . CUSTOM_USER_TABLE . ” u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id WHERE pd.value LIKE ‘%%$search_terms%%’ ORDER BY pd.value ASC”, $search_terms );
    245 $paged_users_sql = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_search_users_sql’, “SELECT DISTINCT u.ID as user_id FROM ” . CUSTOM_USER_TABLE . ” u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id WHERE pd.value LIKE ‘%%$search_terms%%’ ORDER BY pd.value ASC{$pag_sql}”, $search_terms, $pag_sql );
    246
    247 $total_users = $wpdb->get_var( $total_users_sql );
    248 $paged_users = $wpdb->get_results( $paged_users_sql );
    249
    250 return array( ‘users’ => $paged_users, ‘total’ => $total_users );
    251 }

    Thus I’ve tried applying my query by putting this code in my bp-custom.php:

    function mysql_bp_core_search_users_sql() {
    global $wpdb;
    return $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT DISTINCT u.ID as user_id FROM ” . CUSTOM_USER_TABLE . ” u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id WHERE u.spam = 0 AND u.deleted = 0 AND u.user_status = 0 AND pd.value AND pd.field_id != 10 LIKE ‘%%$search_terms%%’ ORDER BY pd.value ASC{$pag_sql}”, $search_terms, $pag_sql );
    }
    add_filter( “bp_core_search_users_sql”, “mysql_bp_core_search_users_sql” );

    But it does not affect the search!
    What is my mistake?

    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.

    @tomdebruin

    Oh I’m sure @foxly & @francescolaffi development inc will come up with something. It’s just that not having it part of the core makes much harder to develop, because frankly, BuddyPress doesn’t currently have many useful hooks for plugins to manipulate the core. So you have to hack the system in all sorts of crazy ways and that can really slow down the site.

    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.

    EDIT: what I meant to say was “now that Andy is not working *full time* on BP anymore, as automattic has split his time between other topics” – my bad :(

    @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.

    I deleted the entire contents of the OP as it was one, giant spam advertisement. I did not delete this thread yet because I want to remember the offending poster.

    Basically, nothing happened.

    I sense that there are some politics at play here, so I’m going to keep my head down. When spam becomes a problem on the sites I run, I’ll develop my own solution.

    In addition to the Avatar issue previously posted, I am seeing user management issues in 1.2.5. When I attempted to do batch “mark as spam” and batch delete of the following users in 1.2.5, I got the WSoD. If I refreshed, the action would have happened for the first one in the batch, but not the others. So, I was forced to do each one individually.

    @jeffsayre & @foxly it’s been a while since I visited this thread, but I liked the momentum on it. What was the consensus at the dev chat? What’s the stat on this item? Can I help in any way? :D

    1. There is number of discussion on this forum about issues signing up… most likely they didn’t get the activation e-mail …check spam/junk folder…. I tried to register for your site and did not recieve the e-mail so it may be you are having trouble sending mail from your server? Can you get it to send you an e-mail?

    2. This has be solved here:
    https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/fatal-error-when-trying-to-delete-user/
    3. If they have created member accounts and have not “verified”… it may not show as they are listed as “spammer users” until they register…so I’ve read here.
    Here is another link:

    Hello. I’m using the latest wp and bp and started getting a fatal error when trying to delete spam users.

    Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-classes.php on line 1053

    Any idears?

    Yes @mercime. I want that. Everyone to post the groups even they’re not a member of. You give me the solution and I’ll take care with the spammers :))

    @mercime
    Participant

    “You can only update the groups you’re a member of.”
    That’s the idea, one way to prevent spammers from messing with your group.

    Do you mean you want to allow anyone to post status updates even in private (by invitation only) groups or only in public groups?
