BuddyPress.org

I started the group for splogging and spam a while ago, but to be honest I haven’t experienced any for quite a while now.

@andy’s right about changing the signup slug, that made a big difference for me. I also renamed (removed) the wp-signup.php file as that’s not in use, and again that made a difference – though watch for that on a wpmu / wp upgrade as it’ll replace the file.

I removed the WordPress references in my theme footer too, just to make it a little less obvious that I’m running WP.

Also running SI-Captcha antispam and NoSpamNX, but that’s about it nowadays.

@blackphantom, bloody brilliant!! Fixed the 404 issue!

Here is where I am with what doesn’t work (WordPress 2.9.2 and BP 1.2)

– I don’t see the filter for “Tweets” in the pulldown for the activity stream.

– My Twitter > BP timestamp is off by 6 hours.

– My Twitter > BP sync doesn’t work with (or I don’t understand) filters! It works when I remove the filters.

Requests:

– Extend the new forum topic “To Twitter” functionality to allow the same thing for topic replies.

Any of you who continue this thread any further are simply staring the ‘gift horse in the mouth’ so to speak.

~ spam in a problem for every company, be it IBM, Google or WordPress. These companies spend millions combatting it and it’s a problem for almost any CMS, or site that has UGC. If you can’t install Askimet, and/or a couple other preventative measures on your site, then you should hire someone who knows what their doing or you have a compromised(hacked) site where once again, you should hire someone who knows what they’re doing.

while not naming names ~ I have watched ‘your’ post on this forum and you’ve offered very little contribution and quite a bit of negativity. That doesn’t bode well for an open source community who provides you a product free of charge. Perhaps providing some meaningful feedback about your experiences will help the community develop better solutions instead of glaring accusations and harsh criticism? In fact your post in this community are very much like spam for the very same reason. At this point, you’ve pretty much hit an all time low since your accusing developers, many of whom work for free, of turning a blind eye towards the issue of spam. If you’re unhappy with website, may i suggest move on to another piece of software that is magically immune to spam robots, where you’ll most positively be a great asset, not only to them, but also with your absence here on the Buddypress Forums.

awesome work mate, tested it without an issue of install

Ok. I put this on .htaccess and it comes back with 500 internal server error.

Now, not only buddypress but also WordPress does not work.

The whole site is tangled with 500 error.

If I delete .htaccess, WP works but BP comes with 404 error.

Running WordPress MU 2.9.1?

“and uploaded to godaddy and then unzipped there which create a buddypress folder in the html directory of godaddy.”

The plugin folder needs to go in wp-content/plugins/.

have you tried installing it from the admin area of WordPress? Go to the plugin menu and pick Install New.

Till the modification theme is online at wordpress theme directory, you are able to download the “4 to 5 widget column child theme” here:

http://kartobuddy.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/child-theme-with-a-single-4-to-5-columns-widget-page-for-buddypress-1-2/

@Peterverkooijen, you’re probably better of starting with the BP Backwards Compat plugin for a 1.1.3 theme.

Would this plugin also help in upgrading a custom Buddypress 1.1.3 theme to 1.2?

I’ll try that later this week…

Yup… it’s not a widget. Two options which would involved making a child theme. Don’t worry… it’s really simple: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

1. Make a child theme with a custom sidebar.php file and comment out or delete the login block of code.
2. Make a child theme and add this line to your “style.css” file

#login-text, sidebar-login-form {display: none;}

I suppose you could also try adding the code below to a “custom.php” file and putting it in your plugins directory (no child theme required)… but now I’m just getting silly. LOL (I haven’t tested this BTW).

<?php



add_action('wp_head', 'hide_login');

function hide_login() {

echo <<<CSS



<style type='text/css'>

#login-text, sidebar-login-form {display: none;}

</style>



CSS;

}



?>

or even this! (very silly)

<?php



add_action('bp_before_sidebar_login_form', 'open_login_comment');

function open_login_comment() { echo '<!--' }



add_action('bp_after_sidebar_login_form', 'close_login_comment');

function close_login_comment() { echo '-->' }



?>

So how to you intend for people to login? Just via the regular WordPress login?

I’m not sure… but the plugin was released by Andy who is the main core developer for BuddyPress. I didn’t even know about the plugin until I responded to your post. I knew there was a thread on here about your question about a week ago… so I just did a search.
