In reply to: [Resolved] Need to disable the user access to wordpress admin panel

Paul

Awesome!

Thanks for that quick reply.

I have another question. Sorry it is silly I know. As I am new to buddypress I am taking some time reading all the docs. The question is if I make any modification in the front end views for the buddypress installation I guess I need to do in a child theme so that the modifications doesnt go off with the new releases of buddypress. But where do I do it. I mean I read that the new releases of buddypress supports any wordpress theme compatibility I can rather do this modifications inside my website childtheme itself I suppose.

But waht about the directory structures? How that should be. do I need to make a directory inside my child theme. Can you please tell how it works?

Try using Theme My Login – you can have registration, login, lost password and reset password all within your themed pages.

Disabling access to WP Admin will require some custom code. Put this in your theme’s functions.php file:
```
// disable access to wp-admin for non-administrators
function block_wp_admin_access() {
    if ( is_admin() && ! current_user_can( 'administrator' ) && ! ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url() );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'block_wp_admin_access' );
```

Topic: User avatars suddenly only show on main site – disappeared on my other sites

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Jerry
Participant

Hello. Up until the recent upgrade to wordpress ms (3.9.1), buddypress (2.0.1), and bbpress, my user’s avatars where showing just fine throughout my site. Now they only show up on the main site. I saw this thread http://buddypress.org/support/topic/v1-7-no-avatars/ but I cannot find ‘settings’, ‘discussion’ from the wp-admin dashboard. I can find settings, but not discussion. I used “inspect element with firebug” and sure enough, each avatar on the other sites is now pointing to a different folder. On main site, they point to: /wp-content/uploads/2014/03/owl_avatar0785.jpg, on the other sites they are suddenly pointing to the respective sites’ folders, instead of the main content folder.
I do have the plugin ” BP Avatar Suggestions” installed. It has worked great until now. I can’t find any settings within that plugin that would affect this. Any help would be appreciated.

There is a plugin in the wordpress plugin directory to handle phpbb to bbpress migration,although no mention is made about private messages.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/cms2cms-phpbb-to-bbpress-forum-converter/

It looks like it is in active development so you might want to suggest the features you are looking for to the plugin author if it doesn’t already cover your needs.

Hi @digital-brain

You’ll need to distinguish users that offer something from users that find something. That can be done via roles and responsibilities in WordPress:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

You can add roles using add_role() and assign certain responsibilities to them:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_role

Once you have the custom roles set up, you can check if the logged-in user has a certain capability using current_user_can()

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can

Hope this helps – it isn’t a fully coded solution but should be a useful starting point.

I tried what @modemlooper suggested, and there is nothing in that list that allows for underscores to be used. WordPress allows underscores to be used, but BuddyPress does not. I deactivated BuddyPress and was able to register with an ‘_’ underscore in my username. I am working on a hack for this as we speak.

WP 3.9 BP 2.0.1

I have a custom registration form. It works, as it makes a new user that can login. It doesn’t work as when said user tries to login in for the first few times, it shows a white screen. After a few refreshes, everything works as intended. I suspect the problem is from buddypress, as I used buddypress default data and tried to log into one of the fake accounts and it worked fine. It only seems to be with accounts that havent yet had any BP activity. On top of that, this occurs after clicking activate in the activation email.
```
function create_user_from_registrant(){
	$user_name = $_POST['first_name']."_".$_POST['last_name'];
	$user_email =  $_POST['email'];
	
	$user_id = username_exists( $user_name );
	if ( !$user_id and email_exists($user_email) == false ) {
		$random_password = wp_generate_password( $length=12, $include_standard_special_chars=false );
		//$user_id = wp_create_user( $user_name, $random_password, $user_email );
		$user_id = bp_core_signup_user( $user_name, $random_password, $user_email, '' );
	} else {
		$random_password = __('User already exists.  Password inherited.');
	}	
	
	mail($user_email,"Five Star Connect Beta Credentials","Thank you for registering for The Five Star Connect Beta. Your username is $user_name. Your temporary password is $random_password <a href='http://thefivestar.com/fsc-beta/members'>Click here to log-in.</a>");
	echo $user_id;

Hello everybody,

so this is the situation:
– installed WP in subdirectory
– used the official method “Giving WordPress Its Own Directory – Using a pre-existing subdirectory install”
– aware that what is in activity stream remains as is, and here rises my problem:
All the profile links of “old” entries point to the original link of the user with the subdirectory in the url path.

Is anyone aware of a solution? Is it possible to use .htacces?
I’m afraid if i remove the subdirectory from links I won’t be able to log in – as for this the full path is still used.

Thanks in advance

In reply to: Pulling from existing custom fields

Henry Wright

Hi @compixonline

get_user_meta() will allow you to retrieve the custom field data. You’d use the function like this:

$data = get_user_meta( $user_id, $key, true ); where $key is the name of the custom field and $user_id is the user ID of your BuddyPress member.

$data will then hold the custom field value you want for that particular member.

Is it possible to have new user’s ‘profile fields’ already filled in when a users first registers and signs-in? Similar to how there’s a default avatar image when a users first signs-in, they know they need to add a picture unless they want to remain a grey silhouette, I’d like them to see profile fields filled in with generic data that they’ll need to change unless they want their fields to remain with sarcastic content of my choosing..

In reply to: Bluehost Activation emails being filtered

Zane
Participant

So my final analysis is that something about buddypress activation emails being sent by spam registration that is causing third party email companies like gmail, hotmail, yahoo to blacklist my domain which in term causes bluehost to block my account from sending email.

What is different between buddypress activation emails and standard wordpress activation emails? Can I disable this change so that the default wordpress activation emails are used?

May 29, 2014 at 1:51 am #183431

In reply to: Bluehost Activation emails being filtered

Zane
Participant

Small update with regards to bluehost. I have been exchanging emails with them regarding this email. For your reading enjoyment.

First Bluehost tries to accuse me of spamming

Hi, it appears your emails have been reported by multiple providers
(such as yahoo or comcast) as containing spam, this in turn has flagged
our outbound email filter. We have removed your domain from the filter
for now. To prevent this, I would advise the following:

If you are sending email via email lists or a third party ad vendor:

BE sure you are not using any purchased lists

Be sure 100% sure the emails you are sending to are emails that those
people want to receive

Be sure you are using a double opt in when adding to your email lists

Be sure you are not sending to ANY spam traps- a spam trap is created by
multiple providers, it is an email that is never given out and found
only in source code. If a spam trap receives an email from a domain,
this is a clear indication that domain is using an email list that was
not created by people opting in, which is against the terms of service
and is considered spam.

Further more, be sure you are following our complete terms of service
concerning Sending email:

We do not allow the sending of unsolicited mass emails to others. We
have zero tolerance for accounts which contain material that has been
promoted through unsolicited email (spam) or mail fraud schemes, or
which contain pages that promote or condone the sending of unsolicited
email.

All emails sent from our servers or sent from another server that
advertise a site that is hosted on our servers are required to stay
within these rules:

(1.) You are required to follow all rules in the Can Spam Act
(additional information at:
http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus61-can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business
)

(2.) No purchased lists. Everyone that you send emails to MUST HAVE
CONTACTED YOU DIRECTLY and asked for the information you are sending.
Affiliate opt-ins are not a valid method of opt in.

(3.) The list must be double opt in. This means that the recipient must
request to be added, and then you must send an email asking them to
confirm the request.

(4.) You must have an automated opt out link; Email based opt out
(mailto: links) are not acceptable.

Quoting from the above link:

Please see our Terms of Service at
https://www.bluehost.com/antispam_policy and
https://www.bluehost.com/acceptable_use_policy#spam for additional
information.

If you are sending email individually:

Change all email passwords and check all devices/computers for any virus
or malware

Confirm with everyone that uses email from your domain that they are
following the spam rules as stated above

If you are sending email through a script or a contact
form/tell-a-friend script:

Be sure you have or add a captcha feature on all contact forms or
tell-a-friend scripts

Check your websites content for any malicious or suspecious files that
should not be there

Update all your Websites scripts including themes and plugins

Once you are have confirmed you are following or now applying all of the
above information, you will need to wait for your domains reputation to
become clear. We have no time frame on how long this takes as our
outbound filter relies on information from other providers to determine
this.

In cases of a compromised script/email:

Change all your passwords to your emails

Update all your email scripts

Check for malicious files hidden within your sites

Secure all devices that access your account.

We hope this information helps you.”

If you have any other questions please reply to this ticket, chat us, or call our technical support line which is open 24/7.

My response to the bluehost response above

I send no emails from this account. I don’t have any email accounts
associated with this domain. I only use one email forwarder to send any
email sent to admin@site.com so I am not really sure any of
your analysis below holds any ground. Please provide any information to
back up your summary? What email account was sending messages?

There is a bigger issue at hand here. Look at the buddypress FAQ. Why
do you think that out of every web host they only call out bluehost?

Your resolution was the same resolution that was put in place a month
ago. How do I prevent my account from getting flagged again? Please
find out what it is about buddypress that is causing bluehost to
incorrectly flag accounts as spam accounts.

Bluehost continues to stick to the assumption that my account is spamming

Thank you for contacting Technical Support. We understand that sending out emails is vital to any business. Since you are on a shared server, all email you send out uses shared mail servers. Our filter system is in place to prevent our mail servers IP from becoming blacklisted by third party companies. When this occurs, it will block the ability of all of our customer accounts to send out emails. The process then becomes long and complicated once it has been flagged. In order to prevent this we have put in place several services to prevent this from happening.

We don’t solely check blacklisting services to see if a domain and or IP address is being blacklisted. One of the spam prevention tools that we have in place relies on reports from other email and internet service providers; such as yahoo, comcast, broadband and others. The reports were generated by those who receive the emails and are marking them as spam or junk. We do not have the ability to view who specifically flags the email. Due to this, we can only rely on the reports from these major providers that report them to us. As we do not have control as to if they flag it or not, we cant control if your domain gets listed or not.

I would recommend checking through the lists that you send out and remove any email addresses that you get bounces from. You can then remove that email address from your list. Over time people may forget that they had signed up for your list and are simply marking your messages as spam/junk. It might be a good idea to email your list and have them opt-in again to your list. You can then remove those that do not opt-in to ensure that that those on the list are legitimate.

If you have any other questions please reply to this ticket, chat us, or call our technical support line which is open 24/7.

My response

I don’t think you are reading my email responses. I do not send emails
from any account on this domain. The only emails that are sent are
registration activation emails. How is my domain getting black listed
if I am not sending emails?

Their response. Apparently my email forwarder to my own account is also somehow sending spam email to other people and buddypress is responsible for spam.

Hello,

You send e-mail via buddypress, you also send mail via the forwarder. These both contribute to the blacklist you’ve now been added to.

My response. I request information on what about the activation emails is causing my site to get blacklisted

I have only received one email via the forwarder and that wouldn’t put me
on a black list. Therefore the activation emails must be what is putting
me on the blacklist WordPress installations get registration spam all the
time but they do not get the sites blacklisted. What is it about
buddypress that is triggering the blacklist?

Their response. It is top secret.

Hello,

We release no specifics on the exact criteria incorporated to flag the contents of e-mail messages to prevent our filters from being defeated. Generally, quantity of messages sent, specific reports of spam e-mail from third parties, internal links or keywords associated with known mass mailing agencies, or a combination of all of the above can lead to the domain’s reputation being reduced to the extent that it requires intervention.

My final response tonight

Very well,

The net sum is I do not send email from this account. The only email sent is activation emails sent by wordpress/buddypress. I have had the typical spam troubles dealing with fake registrations from spammers and I assume those spam registrations are flagging the spam filter. I have never had this issue with wordpress spam activation emails flagging one of my accounts as spam so it is clear that SOMETHING about the buddypress activation emails is to blame (it is the only variable that has changed). This fact is reinforced by the fact that buddypress calls out bluehost.com’s failure to address this email in their FAQ https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/faq/

[quote]BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails (eg. activation emails, email notifications). This appears to be a problem with certain web hosts (Bluehost primarily). Members of the BP community have had success using]/quote]

I have provided a copy of the activation emails my account is sending on my previous ticket for analysis. I have changed nothing to the default buddypress activation emails.

Please invest some time in identifying why this very popular wordpress plugin is triggering spam filtering by bluehost email. I am happy to make any modifications to my code to resolve this issue and I am sure the buddypress community would love to remove this section from their FAQ. I appreciate your support addressing this issue. Thank you for your continued support with this issue. I have invested a lot of time and effort into this project and I would hate to see it die because bluehost continues to flag my account incorrectly due to an error in the spam filtering software on bluehost’s end. Thank you.

In reply to: Created groups with plugin not counted in the Group List

r-a-y
Keymaster

The total group count doesn’t do any checks to see if it has any last activity or member count, which is why you see a higher count.

However, the group loop does do checks for last activity and member count. It’s possible that your created groups do not have any activity in them. Try posting an update in each group and see if it shows up in the group loop.

Also, try creating group using BP’s native function – groups_create_group():

Hello,

I have been struggling to widen the sidebar width for the Buddypress Default theme on my website, http://www.DonorChildren.com.

I found some workarounds but none that didn’t create other issues. I installed the My Custom CSS plugin and wrote this in the tool:

div#content_width .padder {
margin-right: 411px;
}
div#sidebar {
margin-left: -412px;
width: 410px;
}

That works but then the mobile version of my site is all jacked up and the content is squished to the left of the screen. The tablet mostly works but there is still some overlapping with the ads.

I tried installing the WP Mobile Detect plugin and adding some wording to the CSS plugin modification:

[notphone]div#content_width .padder {
margin-right: 411px;
}
div#sidebar {
margin-left: -412px;
width: 410px;
}[/notphone]

This was supposed to make the CSS changes ONLY for the desktop and tablet. It works in a sense that the mobile device now views my site correctly but the desktop and tablet has overlapping between the sidebar and content. It seems no matter what I do I am unable to modify the widths of the content and sidebar without losing functionality elsewhere. This seems like such a simple task but I am not a skilled developer so could use some direction.

Any help out there?

> When I go to My profil / Messages / My groups / Settings … . I end up with a 404 message.

I can’t seem to find out what’s wrong. It used to work but doesn’t since maybe the last wordpress update, but I’m not sure.

I’ve check the permalinks already. And alreday tried to deactivate all plugins and to use twenty eleven… Nothing changes. I’ve also tried to remove and reinstall buddypress with no luck.

In reply to my above situation, I went to the WordPress Codex page which lists all the hooks available to developers. On this page, you can see a listing of things used as the first parameters for the add_filter('hook','your functions to run on that hook') method.

There was an example listed in that Codex that referenced exactly what I was trying to accomplish, namely, removing ‘Private: ‘ from private forum titles.

Below is the code that I am using now, it strips ‘Private:’ as well as leaving my profile page without any of the wierd markup that the previous code was using (note the previous code was from a post in ’09, so things likely changed since then):
```
/* Removing private prefix from post titles */ 

 
function spi_remove_private_protected_from_titles( $format ) {
	return '%s';
}
add_filter( 'private_title_format',   'spi_remove_private_protected_from_titles' );

I resolved this issue, but another remains:

Yesterday, I was getting frustrated with the bbPress (a forum plugin for WordPress), because when I’d have a private forum, instead of it just being an attribute, it prepended ‘Private: ‘ before every forum.

In my attempt to resolve this issue, I found a similar thing to what JSHelp referenced in this Stack Overflow Post: a code that would be located in the theme’s (my theme was Twenty-Fourteen) functions.php file.

My attempt to resolve THAT issue, led to THIS issue (where we have HTML code being converted to non-code text on the buddyPress profile page).

On removing the code from function.php, the issue fixed itself.

However, I am unsure why these two interact in the way that they do, below is the code I added and later commented out:
```
function the_title_trim($title) {
	// Might aswell make use of this function to escape attributes
	$title = attribute_escape($title);
	// What to find in the title
	$findthese = array(
		'#Protected:#', // # is just the delimeter
		'#Private:#'
	);
	// What to replace it with
	$replacewith = array(
		'', // What to replace protected with
		'' // What to replace private with
	);
	// Items replace by array key
	$title = preg_replace($findthese, $replacewith, $title);
	return $title;
}
add_filter('the_title', 'the_title_trim');
```
