ModeratorMainly the header and footer links/text and the ‘tutorials’ dropdown. The bit where it says “Over a number of videos I will take you through the basics of setting up a solid WordPress theme with…” is big enough I think so perhaps make everything that size.

ParticipantI tries everything for spam and the only thing that worked was the WangGuard plugin. Works great at stopping spammers from registering and creating groups.
Now I have no spam trouble at all and it’s all i use. No capta or Akismet or anything else.

ParticipantThere is no magic recipe against spam.
Following some basic recommendation is a first step.
No user called “admin”, no tables prefix beginning with wp_ and so on.
Avoid publishing your site url as long as you have a “spam hole” is also a good practice….https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

ParticipantThanks,
I checked my cPanel and I can clearly see that WP is in the public_html.Click into the wordpress folder, rename wp-config-sample.com to wp-config.com
What is the purpose of this action??/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);So I suppose I don’t need to change my database information…?
Is that mean that I can use BuddyPress now?

ParticipantRead your host documentation and FYI here.
Or create an FTP account and upload WP/BP via FTP as recommended.May 12, 2015 at 10:42 pm #239009In reply to: Does BuddyPress works?
ParticipantSorry I didn’t want to be rude, there is so many scams online so I wasn’t sure.
Thank you for your links. I’m studding it now.
In required section I found this information:
WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts (fantastico, softalicious, etc.)which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated.
I use zyma.com for hosting my website. I downloaded WP in my cpanel, but when I click on WP (in my cpanel) it redirect me to…softalicious.
Is that mean that I cannot use BuddyPress correctly?May 12, 2015 at 8:22 pm #238996In reply to: [Resolved] Posting Links BP Activity Stream
ParticipantI was unable to reproduce this on a single install with Twenty Twelve.
Simply copy/pasted your link into the what’s new form, and published.

ParticipantHenry Wright gave a good explanation, that is the exact same way that I implemented user password and validation on my php classifieds website, which used to be a wordpress site. Can buddypress work easily with a PHP website that is not wordpress-based? It would be a cool feature to add.

Participant@henrywright
Could not get it to work. I ‘fixed’ it by removing the whole option for users to change their password. If they want to change it, they can use the lost password option. That does work with wordpress security plugins.May 10, 2015 at 7:19 am #238913In reply to: Minimum password strength
ParticipantI tested it on my site and on a clean installation and both do not work on members/member_name/settings/ . Users do see a password strength meter, but can still change their password into something simple as 1 or A. How did you get it to work on members/member_name/settings/?
With WordPress there are many plugins (none that work with buddypress frond-end settings page) that set a minimum strength for passwords. Such as Login Security Solution and iThemes Security. You can force users to change their password or set an amount of days when users must change their password.
It seems like a major security problems (that has existed for a few years) that Buddypress allows simple passwords such as 1 and A on members/member_name/settings/

Participant@modemlooper thanks for the suggestion, I will change that from “register” to something else 🙂 I have tried changing the url on permlinks to a handful or different possibilities and still I get the 404 page, I have also tried all suggestions at: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/the-requested-url-register-was-not-found-on-this-server/ including adding a .htaccess file which was not in my WordPress root directory for some reason, I have also tried enabling mod_rewrite in Apache to no avail, I’m stocked 🙁

Participant@danbp thanks! but the pages are created! I went to WordPress and set them up, I did however had an error I did while trying to figure things out with the registration page pointing to the wrong url, I have fixed that since you told me, also on the BudyPress settings I have assigned them to the different components, still the pages are just blank.
Also I’m not sure what the pretty permlinks is? is this changing the Permlinks settings in wordpress to something like “Post Name” ? I’m going to read configure-components page again top to bottom, again thanks so much for your help!
PS: I changed the permlinks in wordpress to “Post Name” and now all component pages are not just blank but they cannot be found. ahhhhh I’m sooooooo confused! lol

ParticipantHello @modemlooper
Yes, Registration is turn on in WordPress, and pages are assigned to the default ones that were created when BudyPress was installed, I have no idea if I have to change that or where to.
I would greately appreciate it if you could take a look please
May 9, 2015 at 9:34 pm #238892In reply to: Installed Buddypress but several things won’t work.
Moderatorif you have registration turned off in WordPress settings you will have registration troubles. When you got to settings > BuddyPress and on the pages tab do you have the pages assigned to components?

ParticipantActually It is solved if I disable profile sync between wordpress and buddypress – but what does that mean any way? Will it kill my client side to disable profile sync?
May 9, 2015 at 4:31 pm #238880In reply to: How can I change the slug for forums?
r-a-y
KeymasterAt the moment, you can’t.
This is handled in the bbPress plugin:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.7/includes/extend/buddypress/groups.php#L55You could try overriding those variables on the
'bp_include'hook. See where bbPress initializes BuddyPress:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.7/includes/core/actions.php#L132
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.7/includes/core/extend.php#L38So in theory, you could overload those slugs on the
bbpress()->extend->buddypressobject on the'bp_include'hook after priority 10.Untested, but see if that works. This will also break all your old forum links in the activity stream if you did this.

You shouldn’t use ‘admin’ as a user name.

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/strong-passwords/#post-187635May 7, 2015 at 5:55 pm #238791Participanthi @fmckinnon,
Should we also use BuddyPress?
bbPress is a separate WP forum plugin. You can use it on any WordPress install.
BuddyPress is a separate WP members community plugin. You can use on any WordPress install.
Confused by the difference between “Groups” in Buddypress and the forums … and “Group” forums.
BP groups are members activities grouped under a same hood: the group. So it’s a typical BP behave. A group is not a forum, even if group discussion can be followed with help of a minimalistic publishing tool, the what’s new ? form aka notice editor. A kind of wall discussion retrained to each group, without any usual forum tool.
If you use bbPress AND buddyPress, you have the ability to categorize the forum into groups. In other words, you can assign a forum to any group of your choice.
As you can read on Codex, you have the option for a global forum only, or group forums only or if you have time and many mods, group and global forums.
For the last question, you already know that vbulltetin can be imported. For the user i have no answer because i never used this, but one thing is sure, WP use only one user table, no matter the other used plugin.
BuddyPress “shows” users, but doesn’t manage them. bbPress “shows” topics, but doesn’t manage user. That’s WP stuff.
I don’t know if you should use BP and bbPress together simply in regards of these technical explanation. So far i already experimented with BP, they are many other points to take in consideration if you want to built a community site.
