I also have another plugin that I was told on the plugins forum that it worked on multisite called “Private BP Pages.” However I never actually tested it myself on BP with multisite. I just got that info from some of the users of the plugin. I used to offer it on the WordPress repo up to about 3 months ago but I have since removed it. But to answer your question “Yes” it is possible to create a members-only community with the latest BP and WP multisite by creating a plugin or using a function in bp-custom.php using hooks etc. That way your not hacking BP and if you update BP you won’t lose your changes.

Have you tried this plugin?

Best thing I did to limit spam bot users is adding the free wordpress plugin “good question” – but change the defaults questions and answers.

I also reccomend si captcha plugin, and limit login attempts.

I always change the default settings on limit login attempts to be more strict than default.

I also add whitelist ip plugin for limit login attempts so I don’t lock myself out – lol.

This is the code I added at line 278 in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/lib/class_bpfb_binder.php to create the action. The credit for this code is @Juanma in WordPress.org forum. (couldn’t find the original thread). In this case I’m creating an action for images upload.

function ajax_update_activity_contents () {
  $bpfb_code = $activity = '';
  $aid = 0;
  $codec = new BpfbCodec;
  if (@$_POST['data']['bpfb_photos']) {
    $images = $this->move_images($_POST['data']['bpfb_photos']);
    $bpfb_code = $codec->create_images_tag($images);
    $type = 'bpfb_share_wall_photos';
  }

  $bpfb_code = apply_filters('bpfb_code_before_save', $bpfb_code);

  // All done creating tags. Now, save the code
  $gid = (int)@$_POST['group_id'];
  if ($bpfb_code) {
    global $bp;
    $content = @$_POST['content'] . "\n" . $bpfb_code;
    $content = apply_filters('bp_activity_post_update_content', $content);
    $user_id = $bp->loggedin_user->id;
    $userlink = bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id );

    $author = bp_core_get_userlink( $author_id );
    $activity_url = bp_activity_get_permalink( $item_id );

    $aid = $gid ?
      groups_post_update(array('conte nt' => $content, 'group_id' => $gid)) : 
      bp_activity_add(
        array(
          'action' => apply_filters( 'activity_update', sprintf( __( '%s shared a link', 'buddypress' ), $userlink ), $user_id ),
          'content' => $content,
          'component' => 'activity',
          'type' => $type,
          'user_id' => $user_id
        )
      );
      if ($aid) {
			ob_start();
			if ( bp_has_activities ( 'include=' . $aid ) ) {
				while ( bp_activities() ) {
					bp_the_activity();
					if (function_exists('bp_locate_template')) bp_locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true );
					else locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true );
				}
			}
			$activity = ob_get_clean();
		}
		header('Content-type: application/json');
		echo json_encode(array(
			'code' => $bpfb_code,
			'id' => $aid,
			'activity' => $activity,
		));
		exit();
	}
}

And this is the code that works for activity stream. It shows just the activities with this action, but when you click the ‘load more’ button it loads the regular stream.
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&action=bpfb_share_wall_photos') ) : ?>

Please, don’t mention a user without a link to what you’re speaking about.

There is no specific donation plugin for BP so far i know. You can of course try some of the existing for WordPress, but i’ve no idea if one of them integrates well.

Maybe an alternative solution with myCred, who is adapted to BuddyPress and has such a feature.

Hi thanks for the confirmation @emineminero here are few suggestions:
1) As you have multisite the 1st thing i would like to suggest you is to go through the following guide
2) Make sure your permalink structure is set to sitename.com/sample-post-name even if its set to as suggested try to rebuild it(for doing this just goto dashboard>>settings>>permalinks and simply save the permalink structure one more time)
3) I think the issue is related to this thread and may be you will find something productive there.
Note: Make sure you have set the pages for registration and activate in dashboard>>settings>>buddypress>>pages tab the pages are needed to be created,just create two pages and name them “register” and “activate” respectively and then set them from dashboard>>settings>>buddypress>>pages tab
Clear browser cache and check for the changes.
Thanks

Take also in mind that BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.

Hi @ggalipeau I have limited knowledge to help you in particular but thought I would point you to the codex article https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/ which shows it recently updated 3 days ago

If you need just a simple PDF format to get the members list, the most simple way is to use the export tool of phpmyadmin.

See this video tutorial to learn about this.

A more sophisticated way to get member’s list converted to PDF, and much more, directly on/in your site, would be to use this premium plugin ($28).
Also read the doc and try the demos first before taking a decision. 😉

Hi @emineminero just to make sure, have you checked the anyone can register checkbox in dashboard>>settings>>general section

Thanks

It’s not buddypress but WP who manage registering and concerning bots, they go directly on your server.

A good starting point is to read the WP Codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

And at least,
Never use “admin” as username
Never user wp_ as table prefix

If you search for “spam” on this forum, you will find many topics about this subject.
And the latest one, even if not directly related to your issue, is one of the sticky post on the forum homepage. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/this-is-why-we-cant-have-nice-things/
