Cause these are not default wordpress roles, but they are all assigned to each user now, at least in the database (as I have unserialized):
“blocked”, “inactive”, “keymaster”, “member”, “moderator”.
Is there a way to easy get rid of all these data?
Thanks. So, after unserializing data in my OPTIONS table, user_roles, I find, among other data, the settings of “keymaster” and “member” and “moderator” and (not) wordpress “subscriber” and a lot of settings like this:
`[moderate] => 1
[participate] => 1
[keep_gate] => 1
[import_export] => 1
[recount] => 1
[manage_options] => 1
[manage_themes] => 1
[manage_plugins] => 1
[edit_users] => 1
[manage_tags] => 1
[edit_others_favorites] => 1
[manage_forums] => 1
[delete_forums] => 1
[delete_topics] => 1
[close_topics] => 1
`
All this has to be Buddypress ghosts inside the user role row in the different “options” databases. I guess it is impossible to remove all these data… but… do they have any effect upon my multisite performance, or do they have any effect on my users (multisite blog owners) roles in the multisite?
I am asking because something is messing up my multisites different blogs comment settings.
Also consider the honey pot method. It catches automated spammers but not human spammers.

For human spammers you almost need to approve each user request. Which is a pretty big barrier to entry, I think. I’ve used this plugin to do that:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/
I didn’t change anything but it now says,
‘# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress’
The PHP version is 5.2.17
Hi,
forget languages in a first time and set up your WP to a network.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
Then install BP with group forums activated
Then create a group for each language you want
This is the most simple solution i guess. The’re probably others. 😉
Hi,
by default, to invite users to join a group witch you are the admin, you must first have friends. Once they accepted friendship, you can invite them from the friends list who appear when you click on “invite” on the group menu.
But perhaps you may prefer this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/
Thank you Gentlemen,
Your answer was more than I could have hoped for.
I am very excited to know that a new version of buddypress is on the make. I cheer the engineers on and hope they consider lots of flexible header options. 😉
Also, I’m now thoroughly studying the ‘https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes’ with an aim to figure it out, as I think I might love coding, & though I have no idea what I’m doing half the time,… I seem to spend days on this stuff …. there’s no end to the fun.
Zuckerberg may have created the first ‘popular’ version, but not the last.

The 1.6 branch of BuddyPress should have this fixed now.
You can either temporarily patch bp-default’s JS:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6704
Or wait until 1.6.3 officially drops.
i much like yourself don’t have much if any programming skills but reading your post gives me two thoughts.
#1 not sure i agree with you about the child theme thing unless you are saying the people shouldn’t need to know html/css in order to customize html/css. if you are not saying that then i think the regular wp child theme doc should be fine. https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
#2 we (i use that term loosely) are actually working on a new default theme it’s called turtleshell which if I’m not mistaken is being designed as a completely fresh UI/X perspective and responsive from the ground up. i think you are more then welcome to be a part of that process, if you want more info start here: http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/
bonus the plan for 1.7 is (i believe) to make it work with any wp theme by default so maybe that this something to consider as well.
Hello,
I have WP 3.4.1 and Buddypress 1.6.2 but I wouldn’t like to upgrade to WP 3.5.
When I’m trying to upload an image to a profile or to a group, when I press the crop button I have “this page cannot be found” in browser and nothing happened.
When I’m trying to upload a file in forums, the bar is loading and loading and nothing happens also.
I have disabled ALL the plugins and left only buddypress with its default theme but no luck. I have also make these changes as described here:
http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6708
but still the same errors.
Can you please help? Any advise?
Thank you!
Greetings buddypress gurus and followers like me,
I have been playing around with buddypress quite a lot recently and realized that it is probably the best thing that has happened to business communities trying to expand their network online – especially valuable organizations with zero revenue. It’s awesome and powerful!
Just wondering why no one has made another buddypress default theme (with different look and feel) that is updatable, similarily to how wordpress themes are updatable. I see that the theme area is empty on this website, so perhaps there are plenty in development, but still, why? I am not a programmer, though the buddy press default install is really easy so I managed that for my non-profit organization. It took me a week to make the header taller, just to find out that all my hard work will be replaced with an update.
Just create a child theme you say? Well, that’s great, but way too complicated and there are no clear directions anywhere on how to do this for someone who does not know how to code but willing to follow VERY detailed, step by step instructions on where to put what code where, etc,… You laugh, but it would take you 5 min perhaps – but for me months to figure out…
and besides, wouldn’t that coding be different for each theme? So,… that doesn’t work for the general buddypress population demographic with less programming skills like me.
Just some thoughts,…. perhaps I’m the only one who has these ideas…. but wondering what you all think. Please commment and let me know if you think more buddypress default themes would help.
peace,
mcgrafx
The first issue is fixed by a 1.6.3 update, which we will be releasing very soon.
I am not aware of any bugs with your second issue; if the current user is a member of that private group, they have access to see its activity items on any page on your site.
Third issue is a WordPress setting; see http://www.agentwp.com/enable-or-disable-user-registration-in-wordpress
We have a 1.6.3 out very, very soon to address a few minor issues, but BP is compatible with WP 3.5, yes.
You do not install BuddyPress through the WordPress theme upload. Upload or install the plugin via the plugin upload or add new. Then you choose the BuddyPress theme via Appearance > themes
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/
creating a gallery sounds like a wordpress thing not a buddypress thing per se. also might be helpful to send a link to your site or at least tell us what theme you are using.
Thank you for your reply but I made the changes but still nothing. Also, I disable ALL the plugins and there is only buddypress 1.6.2 installed with it’s default theme and nothing else at all. I CAN upload media files within wordpress normally but I cannot upload photos as avatars in buddypress profiles, groups, etc.
I also tried buddypress 1.6.1 but still the same..
🙁
You should set up a test environment if you plan on running a BuddyPress site. Test versions/plugins. current bp has a few minor issues with 3.5.
Is there a link or somewhere where it is officially stated? On the addon page it shows 3.4 but not 3.5 currently.
@chouf1 Will do, thank you.
However, I’ve put all this into a plugin for wordpress now and activated it – I am still not getting a tab in my profile. The above code you suggested @chouf1 doesn’t display for me at all?
Could you possible paste bin the entire plugin code for me to view to see where I am going wrong?
Thanks
I want to get going on a social site but want to make sure to not install BP till it is ready for 3.5 so any help here would be appreciated.
hi,
to know what is done and not in upcoming BP version, and so on, there is only one address:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report
When you update WP and BP, do you also update your theme if you use a third party theme ? Troubles you describe let me think you have some JS conflict somewhere.
