In BuddyPress 3.0.0, there is a bug insofar as if a registration form is submitted and a multi-select or checkbox is involved, and multiple options are present, the registration fails with a run-time error as follows:
Warning: trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home8/fromchao/public_html/buddypress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/screens/register.php on line 93
In my local copy, I patched line 92 to add a check to see if an what was returned is an array, and this eliminated the error for me. Might even be the right fix, as the individual returns in an array shouldn’t need trimming.
if ( isset( $_POST[ ‘field_’ . $field_id ] ) and !is_array( $_POST[ ‘field_’ . $field_id ] ) ) { // FIXED!!
$_POST[ ‘field_’ . $field_id ] = trim( $_POST[ ‘field_’ . $field_id ] );
}
This problem occurred on a dev test site running WordPress 4.9.6. But, the problem and its cause seem pretty obvious, and not a function of WordPress itself. Just needs to be fixed in the official distribution.
Hi
This is how it happened. We got an email from registered members that they are being spam. Another member was sending them SPAM messages.
The mail sent to them contained the name of the member so we searched for it. We also got the spammer’s account username and link by checking the affected members messages directly under their profile page on the frontend. The spammer has a profile page already. However, the username could not be found in the users section of the backend.
Then we checked users that have not activated their account or received the activation email through a plugin named Unconfirmed.
That was when we found the spammer info meaning the spammer has not activated his/her account yet but is already interacting with the community.
That I cannot explain why it happened. It seems even though the user has not activated his/her account, he/she is already recognized by buddypress.

@dggerhart you can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/ban-hammer/ it will allow you to block list domain TTL.
<?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar ( array( ‘item_id’ => $logged_user_id, ‘type’ => ‘full’, ‘html’ => TRUE )); ?>
But this is working with single wordpress site
Hi,
I’m reading lots of posts that are a 18 mo’s to more than two years old. So I thought to re-ask the question, hoping for some more current advice.
How can I stop Spam Users from registering?
WordPress 4.9.6 running Idyllic theme.
BuddyPress Version 2.9.4
Site https://insideouthope.org
What’s the plugin, combination of them or other treatment we can deploy that will best insulate our real community from vermin?
My inclination is to blacklist/whitelist domains somehow.
Thanks in advance for your considered response(s).
When registering a new user, I select one of the visible fields for: Public, Members, Friends or Only Me.
When closing continues as Public.
Registro
WordPress 4.9.5

@mckennapoole Please try to debug if your site can send emails?
You can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/ for verification. If that’s not working, you will need to use 3rd party services to send email, or consult with hosting support.
I think you should checkout this tutorial about pagination WordPress. I have implemented the steps mentioned in the tutorial working properly.
How can I change these phrases given in the fields?
WordPress – v. 4.9.5
BuddyPress – v. 2.9.4

Edit
Hi
I discovered that users (spammers in this case) can send private messages and spam other users even though their accounts are yet to be activated by WordPress.
Is this how Buddypress is designed or is this a bug?
Regards
We are using bbPress Version 2.5.14 on our website at http://www.nationalbraille.org/forums using WordPress. Everything is latest version and all is up to date.
I’d like to add a list of site rules on this page just above the list of groups. I thought I’d find it in the list of Pages on our website, but it’s not there, and the Settings for bbPress don’t give me an option either.
Is this just not possible?
Is it legal to create a WordPress BuddyPress website using plugins like “BP Activity Share”and “Activity reactions For Buddypress”? As these plugins create share and reaction functionality just like Facebook.
Hello,
1.I used theme ” Travel log”.But it has same problem when I changed other theme for example like wordpress Twenty Sixteen theme.Do you have solution?
2. That’s the feature of rtMedia, maybe need to close this feature from rtMedia and it is need to updated. But it is a good feature.
@abu117 It should be the default functionality unless you have used some 3rd party plugin to disable it, when someone is registering at WordPress or BuddyPress, it will send an email to activate or verify their emails.
@bluevert You will need to override the template files inside the child theme.
Follow the steps mentioned here
Template Hierarchy
Most of the time BP will use page.php since that template file exists in the majority of WordPress themes. However, if you wanted to style BuddyPress pages differently than a regular WordPress page, you could add a template file named buddypress.php to your theme’s directory and BP would use that template instead since that file is ahead of page.php in the hierarchy above.
After creating buddypress.php inside child theme, you can comment this line
do_action( 'travel_log_sidebar' );
it will remove sidebar from all BuddyPress pages, if you need to keep on some BP pages, you can use conditional logic.
venutius – thank you.
I am not a WordPress expert, so I need a little more guidance. My guess is that the call to bp_the_profile_field returns the current edit field and that I could create an if clause that would insert some HTML if the field ID (or label) matches the one where I want my label inserted. But this is just a guess – can you please point me in the right direction?

It really depends what features you want for your site. WordPress already allows people to register and login to your site, BP just adds additional features such as extended profiles, friendships, groups, activity, forums etc.
To change the name of tabs etc you need to look into setting up a custom translation file. All the visible labels are able to be translated, so you can change them how you like.
You can use poedit to create your translation file and WPT Custom Mo File to install the translation onto your site.

Hi
On the members page, I would like to change the name of one tab. Instead of “submissions” I would like to say: “All Posts”. Although this looks like a simple change, I couldn’t make it since I don’t know the code things very well. (Here is the place where I would like to make a change: http://themarketingbirds.com/members/senatoygar/)
I’ve seen the following link: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/user-submitted-guides/change-activity-name-slug-to-something-else/ So, I tried to use the codes here. I replaced the words: from activity to submissions, and from dashboard to all posts. However, it didnt work. Is there anyone who knows how I can do this simple change?
Many thanks,
WordPress Version 4.9.5
BuddyPress Version 2.9.4
@mrditt
SendGrid is the way to go. Their official WP plugin has a wrapper that plays nice with BP’s wp_mail API. It is the only service at the moment.
BuddyPress uses the WordPress user database, so I think this is more of a general WordPress issue than one specific to BuddyPress in that if you removed BuddyPress and allowed user registrations to WordPress you would still be faced with the same issue.
You could raise this as a bug on BuddyPress Trac. but I think it’s probably WordPress that would need to change.
