Hi

#2, Buddypress Registration Options is doing the job for me.

afaik, bp_friends_prime_mentions_results is called by the Activity component.
So why is it being called by comments on a WP post?

The default avatars are coming from gravatar.com.
You can turn off gravatars – google it.
Or this might help: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-local-avatars/

ip geo block plugin best dam thing ever.

shield firewall plugin just to disable xmlrpc or a disable xmlrpc plugin

“good question” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/good-question/) or similar – adds a question that must be answered to finish registering

wp spmashield

limit login attempts

sucuri hardening

audit log and multisite register ips (for the manual dedicated spammers)

this mix seems to make like tough for them – especially the ip geo block stopping several countries from abusing the site..

ymmv

ps

@redsand – good to see you active in bp threads! your plugin is a miracle, especially since akismet changed – one on bp site I did have to fiddle with the settings for forms or something recently – vaguely remember users having trouble sending pms were getting the you cant do that permissions thing until I messed with it a bet.. just like 2 weeks ago.

I would change permalinks, save, then change back and save..

then – make a list of other plugins you are using, and which theme – try with all other plugins disabled.. and the 2014 (or 15 – default) theme.

does it work?

if not delete bp – and get your regular wordpress to work. remove any pages you don’t need – change permalinks.. basically getting a fresh install that works just as wordpress.. change permalinks twice.

then install bp – and run through the process of assigning pages, and all that – and check permalinks twice..

I would be it’s a theme or other plugin causing the conflict at this point.. if your htaccess is fresh anyhow..

Hi,

not sure you need to use Softaculous to install bbpress. You can use the plugin installer shiped with WordPress or upload it manually via FTP.

Seems you have to read the install documentation of bbPress first. And if you need help to use bbPress plugin, you have to ask on the right support forum. Here you’re on BuddyPress !

Hi there !

Avoid to add – URGENT help needed! to topic titles, it is the best way to not receive any help.

You’re already under help when your topic is posted, so there is no need to ask twice. And this doesn’t bring you faster or more attention.

The word Urgent is also banned, as urgency is already on the way. Not only for you but for ALL forum users.

So as usual,

The urgent is done, the indispensable is under way. For miracles, allow time.

Please wait and read the codex. BuddyPress. WordPress.

1)BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.
2) new users are always registered in the main site
3) if you allow users to create their own blog, they will appear in the user list of that blog.
4) multisite network means also that you use a wildcard on your host. Is it the case ?

Now, it’s me who doesn’t understand ! What do you want to do finally ? What is not working for you ?

Or try to get some help on the italian WP forum.

Support Forums

or get in touch with one of BP’s italian translator for help or at least some explanation

@solomonsun,

the url you provide doesn’t match! It would be great you indicate existing, or at least, working url’s.

Check your htaccess, and see why you get an url containing www, while WordPress doesn’t use them by default.

You could also read here if you’re on a single install.

And some more details in this tutorial.

Hi,

you certainly know that you use a theme with your BP install. And as any theme user, you know that you can add your own styles to it with help of a child-theme.

Why do you have a weird output ?
Because activity content is partially sanitized, and perhaps also, because your theme add some custom styles to blog posts. Do know that, you could test the output of SWA with one of twenty’s theme.

And in any case, you have to style the output via your child-theme style.css file.

About image size.
You’re talking about a “normal rt media” image… Hum, rtmedia is a third party plugin, and not exactly what WordPress use as first to show pictures, or is what impact BP when you display a post excerpt on the SWA.

You have at least to test WordPress attachments output, then BP, then your theme and eventually any other plugin using images… To do that, you have to adjust correctly your image settings (in WP, BP, theme & plugins…).

To resume:
– issue can be solved by using CSS
– and before using CSS, ensure settings are correctly working on a basic install of WP+BP and a twenty theme. Once all this is ok, you can use your theme and adjust CSS.

Please use the support forum for BP Simple Events.

Hi @luisa227,

considering your questions, i would suggest you read attentively both WP and BP codex.

– child theme
– bp-custom

bp-custom.php goes to wp-content/plugins/ directory, not into the (child)theme folder.

such path members/single/swap is related to BP legacy by default.

But as swap is a custom folder, that custom path means in fact wp-content/themes/child-theme/buddypress/members/single/swap.php, where /child-theme/buddypress/contains copies of all your customized legacy files and your own additionnal files you want to use.

Hopefully reading the codex will help you to understand a little better how all this works together.

@christiankramer,

in case you haven’t investigate about that issue, here’s the ticket on BP trac

and the one on bbPress trac where you can/should post your own remarks as it is not a BuddyPress issue!

As it has no answer yet, i recommend you to bump that ticket.
