BuddyPress.org

I need to add, Wordfence is set to immediately block non-existent usernames and this particular user is actually there. Checked the spelling several times, correct password! So could it be Wordfence takes a cue from this Buddypress Spammer status business?
Anyway, the question is how does the admin remove another admin or other user from spammer status?

Hi

Thank you for the quick response.
The question is which plugin?
I tried deactivating a couple starting with Aksimet and when I reached bbforum & buddypress & deactivated both: the pink background of the “Spammer” user disappeared, as well as the link “Extended”. They both do not reappear with bbforum activated. (See screenshot)
That made me assume it’s Buddypress that’s responsible for this pink background and the Extended link.
Moreover it’s under “Extended” edit of User on “wp-admin/users.php”, that one gets the status shown and where one can change from Spammer to Active, which will not work.

So just wondering … Or may be I’m just overlooking something obvious?

Regards

Hi

So I did just that, deactivating all 28, except one for https, installed recently but as you see, no luck. Quite strange.
Can uninstalled & deleted plugins still have an effect? I forget it’s name, but the other security plugin I can think of & given up over a year ago, when author gave it up, it was however removed, then.

Very strange.

Yes, it was that.

Hi

I have never actually used the feature of adding custom or editing profile fields. Under Users => Profile Fields, there’s nothing, I guess meaning none have been added manually.
On the Edit User => Extended Profile tab, the only options there are Update Profile from pre-selected “Spammer” to “Active”, which does not work, View Profile and Edit Profile Photo.

So I do not see where I could delete that field.
