I’m a bit confused about this whole thing. BuddyPress is supposed to block SWT posts out of the box: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php#L163 If it’s not working, then there’s a bug in BP.
Use Paul his BP Labs plugin to make it more intuitive for the user.. it shows a nice popup as soon as someone types the @ character: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-labs/

Hello! I currently have a WordPress MS working in Subdirectory Mode, at the root /
I have multiple other sites setup – /test1 /test2 etc.
I also have another installation of WordPress in a seperate subdirectory /blogs/ that is running in a different network yet sharing the userbase.
I find the second install to be cumbersome and not work as well as I’d like it to, is there a way so that I may be able to have a base of /blogs/ added to all new sites for users ho register?
hello
when a new user registers buddypress /wordpress asks to activate through email .
how can i disable email activation?
thanks 
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/ – use this to view and activate unactivated accounts.
I have not encountered that activation issue before. To troubleshoot, I would:
– Deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress and change to Twenty Eleven theme. Check registration on regular WordPress install. If activation doesn’t work, resolve this first in WP forums and with webhost. If registration/activation works proceed to next step.
– Activate BuddyPress plugin only and change to bp-default theme. Check registration/activation here. If it doesn;t work, file ticket at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket (log in with same username and password). It activation works, proceed to activate your theme and other plugins then test again.
I can try this, but how would I do an e-mail confirmation check if it wasn’t through a BuddyPress registration form? How do I do this in regular WordPress (having deactivated BuddyPress)? Thanks.
I suggest that you need to isolate the mail problem. Deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins. Make sure that your email confirmation is working in regular WordPress before activating BuddyPress. This could be something where you would need to contact your webhost’s tech support to resolve the issue.
That sounds like a WordPress Multisite (sub-domain setup) with Buddypress running as front-end. The Buddypress main domain would be where you host your General content, then host the more specific content on the subdomain blogs. @Bowromir over at http://bp-tricks.com/ has always been a proponent of the subdomain blog having a similar look to the main blog, and as such has created a Multisite WordPress default theme: http://bp-tricks.com/featured/new-theme-bp-default-member-blog-multisite-communties/
You could then use a functionality like http://wpebooks.com/replicator/ to create the basic layout of one specific site you need (with the look and feel you want), then replicate that site multiple times, adding the specifics for each city.
@johnjamesjacoby Hi John, I am reading your comments and appreciate your knowledge and skills. I am about to also try to find your plugin. (I am not a programmer so most of the instructions went over my head – I do the design/art direction part).
I have a project I took on as a probono to develop an mu site for a National Park Service Collaborative http://www.intooutside.org. I created a wordpress site with Buddy Press, and we are finishing the content integration and signing up users. There are a lot of ways I could use your savvy and help…as I am limited in my coding skills. The project is to inspire kids to get outside into the wilderness and to create a forum for them to share their stories.
Are you available to talk about the site I am making and struggling with? If so, how may I contact you? You may send me an email via creative-entity(com)/contact.html
MANY THANKS!
~ Amy
PS @mikepratt @apeatling If any of you other guys have a desire to help, I would REALLY appreciate. This is a non-profit project and I am in need ….I can offer some design trade, music, dance..
Not sure this plugin still works but you can find a WP plugin for this functionality
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/splashscreen/
If your website email doesn’t work at all you may need an extra plugin. The codex suggests one here: https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/
I use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ which has a useful debugging feature….
I am using WordPress 3.2.1 and Buddypress Version 1.5.1 along with s2member Pro Version 111029. The BuddyPress registration process seems to work fine until it comes to activation.
The user gets the email they are supposed to get which send them to the Activate/key=? page with a key. That screen says: “Account Activated: Your account was activated successfully! You can now log in with the username and password you provided when you signed up.”
However when the user log’s in they are sent back to the Activate page which says:
“Activate Your Account Please provide a valid activation key.”
Typing in the key gives the user an error message.
Can someone tell me how to get the user out of this loop?
Several ways, but check out this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/
To disable activations (I would strongly recommend against this – it’d let spammers access your site much more easily), put this code somewhere, maybe in bp-custom.php:
`add_action( ‘bp_core_signup_send_activation_key’, ‘__return_false’ );`
I set up a new site with WordPress and BuddyPress. It’s for really non technical types, so really important that it be simple. I’m absolutely amazed that the profiles don’t cross link between WP and BP. I don’t know how many hours I’ve spent tweaking it so users only see one profile to fill out and update, the BP one. I hope I’ve succeded at http://shentherapies.org/wp/
Not sure if it’s a WP or BP issue but I’m posting the request in both places: One profile please, with the ability to add fields and photo.
Thanks!
I have gone back to try setting up forums, having previously (after not being able to get them to work) unticked the forum checkbox on the setup routine.
This time, having ticked it, I have manually set up a page called “Forums” and gone to:
http://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bb-forums-setup
and chosen to install group forums.
This takes me to:
http://example.com/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=bb-forums-setup&step=new
which says:
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
If I try to set up sitewide forums, I get a miniature of the admin page for installing new plugins.
The only part of the setup which is non-standard is David Dean’s Networks for WordPress plugin.
You are welcome to have access to the VPS to look if this is of any interest.
Many thanks – hope some of this makes sense.
I was going to make a hack for the plugin and then I realized something simple: Really simple… buddypress signup is the same as wordpress signup. Here;s the solution http://www.janvierdesigns.com/tutorials/janrain-engage-make-a-buddypress-plugin
Hello, Paul
Many thanks for the reply.
I just wonder whether you or anyone else can suggest the best way to get forums up and running on a new install of BuddyPress, WordPress and bbPress – all latest versions 1.5.1, 3.21 and 2.0.
There seems to be a problem that – apart from the “You do not have sufficient permissions” above problem – if you have to end up fiddling too much with install through BuddyPress and install through WordPress auto-installer, you end up having to install the whole caboodle from scratch and starting again – WP, BP and bbP.
Everything other than the forum element seems to be spot on.
Thanks again.

Hello everyone, I would like to display the number of views on the group header. I tried to use a plugin called PostViews http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postviews/ and I put the code in the group header. Unfortunately it displays one counter for all groups. Can anyone help me to fix this or suggest another solution. Thanks a lot.
