Topic: Fighting Splogs
Hi everybody
I know this is kind of an endless topic – at least it seems so, when I read the threads over at mu.wordpress.org…
My questions is the following – could it be, that some plugins do not work with buddypress, because it is not using the wp-signup.php?
That is what I tried:
– rename or even delete the wp-signup.php…
– Using a captcha on my registration page (register.php)
– I installed the hashcash plugin with signup-protection activated (without aksimnet), but it seems, that it doesn’t do anything – I still get spam registrations.
Any ideas? It is very anoying…!
I post this here, because I think this is just a great community of helpers!!!
I would try to prevent member registration through .htaccess:
http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/spam-blogs-and-buddypress/
If not .htaccess, then try WP Hashcash, but I prefer the simplistic method of blocking through .htaccess. This will block most spam signups, but of course you can’t block everything!
Thanks to Darcy Norman for the original tip!
Paul,
The URL where I’m testing the BP is http:// mysupport.byethost13.com it is shared hosting where each subdomain that belongs to my account looks like root. All root files must be uploaded into \htdocs folder that pretends to be root.
Once installed, only the core Blog is fully available. Users (user1, user2) have created their blog(s). Posts are accessible by Site Wide Activity/Wires but no permalinks expect the main blog are accessible. Thus no user nor admin personal blogs (comments) aren’t accessible.
My hosting program allows the .htaccess. The links to the missing elements seems to be OK. It properly generates addresses like http://mysupport.byethost13.com/personal/2009/08/27/hello-world-2/ but it is empty.
The /wp-content/blogs.dir contains strange sub-folder structure
/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/2(4) where two and four is a Id of users that have
uploaded their avatar. Gods know what does it mean the 1 in the root.
For testing purposes I have created your account (Id 4) JDPaul/password. I just wanted to test the BP abbility to access/write the folder. Avatar was uploaded.
My conclusion:
1) BP is talsk to MySql
2) tld/blog works as expected
3) All site.tld/users links + site.tld/groups seems to be fine
4) At least part of the BP code can write the blogs.dir folder
5) For some reason site others blog permalinks site.tld/user1, site.tld/user2, site.tld/personal do not work.
Please feel free to log-in and play. I believe we both need a computer aided check list

Topic: White Screen of Death
I’m also struggling the same white-page-bogey. All redirection are fine but points to an empty blogs.dir directory. I’m just going to upgrade my faith. Other users blogs and comments are at least in the databases and once I solve all the .htaccess; blogs.dir ownership issues., it will show up one day.
BTW there is a WP redirection plug-in (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/) that promises to overcome the .htaccess. Would it be a common cure for rest of us? Would anybody help us to generate a list/file of redirections that can be uploaded?
I’m sorry to see the top contributors helping us (lamers) with the server configuration.
Would anybody code a simple system check (list) plugin that would help us (others) to communicate the issues to our host admins? I believe the community would more appreciate you guys to help us all with bigger issues.
P.S. Originally it was just the comment to other WSOD topic, but the original post was already resolved.
Reagard,
Alex
I’m having a similar problem. Just did a fresh install with WordPress MU 2.8.4a and the trunk version of BuddyPress 1.1. Also installed bbPress via the WP admin panel. Went through all the setups for BuddyPress (General, Components, Forums), but when I go to the Profile Field Setup it tells me I don’t have any groups. When I try to add one, it returns the message, “There was an error saving the group. Please try again.” If I try to add a group directly via the site, I get the message (in a big scary red bar), “There was an error saving group details, please try again.”
I noticed that the database only has one table with the wp_bp prepend (wp_bp_activity_user_activity_cached). Another install I did (based on WMU 2.8.2, BuddyPress 1.0.3, and current bbPress) resulted in a database with a gazillion wp_bp tables. Is that the problem, and if so, how do I get those tables? And if not…wassup? Having groups is kinda the point, after all.
Otherwise, I’m looking forward to skinning the new template framework (ONCE, rather than twice). Thanks for your patience with a relative BP newbie…
hi everybody,
i’ve had wordpress running for some time now, converted to wordpress-mu in order to use buddypress.
of course i’ve had a template designed for wordpress which i imported now.
my issue is now to make the header of wordpress show up on the buddypress pages … something like the “deep integration” of bbpress for reference.
anyone can help me on that?
thanks a million and hi from italy
