Best Practices for Preventing BuddyPress Spam User Registrations | Wptuts+ - 0 views

best practices buddypress spam preventing

shared by Vernon Fowler on 18 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • The first level of security is to change the footer text to remove mentions of WordPress and BuddyPress. Spammers target the words “proudly powered by WordPress and BuddyPress” in search engines to find sites they can compromise.
  • In BuddyPress, the default URL for the registration page is “http:/yoursitedomain.com/register”. This is why spambots include the “insite:register” when performing the search described in the above section. Make it harder for them to find your site by easily changing the default slug for BuddyPress in your wp-config.php file.
  • We use the honeypot technique to thwart spambots and it has worked pretty well from our experience. I didn’t invent the idea, but I built this implementation for BuddyPress and it works like a champ.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • BP_REGISTER_SLUG
  • All you need to do is set the slug for the registration page that has been created. If you’re on BuddyPress 1.5+ that is.
  • It enables you to block IP addresses and even entire domains from accessing your site, a very useful thing to do against known bots trying to create fake BuddyPress user accounts.
  • Be wary of trying every single security plugin under the sun, as this slows down your site and adds to your maintenance workload by having more things to update and go through if something breaks. At first, stick to the highest rated ones that have proven themselves over time with a lot of users. One such plugin, which is highly recommended by many BuddyPress and WordPress users, is Bad Bahavior. This plugin will not only block a lot of spam, but will make your site invisible to many bots in the first place and thereby prevent fake registrations.

BuddyPress design development theme themes

shared by Vernon Fowler on 23 Jun 11 - No Cached
  • This guide is for building themes for BuddyPress 1.2 and above.
  • The default BuddyPress theme is not located in the usual /wp-content/themes/ directory. It is stored in the BuddyPress plugin folder
  • Note the “Template:” entry, which tells WordPress that we want to use the BuddyPress default theme (bp-default) as the parent theme
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • your own theme is in /wp-content/themes/
  • and the tag “buddypress”
  • to inherit the CSS, in BP 1.5+, you don’t have to do anything!  Just start writing your new styles in style.css and skip to section 3
  • copy this file and paste it directly into your child theme’s folder (the same place as your style.css file)
  • if you want to override a template file that is in a sub folder, you must also recreate the sub folder in your child theme
  • There is one exception to the template override rule — functions.php.

    The latest BuddyPress 1.5 default theme now includes the standard WordPress menus that you can easily set with drag-and-drop capabilities. You also have quite a bit more control over where your BuddyPress components are now displayed. Here are the basic steps to setting up your main site navigation after BuddyPress is installed.

  • Can I change the URL where non-loggedin users are being redirected? = Yes, currently you need to write a filter function in your functions.php. `function redirect_nonloggedin_users($current_uri, $redirect_to) { // Redirect users to the homepage // Caution! Exclude the homepage from 'Private BuddyPress' options // to avoid redirection loops! return get_option('siteurl') . '/?from=' . $redirect_to; } add_filter('pbp_redirect_login_page', 'redirect_nonloggedin_users', 10, 2);`

    Protect your BuddyPress Installation from strangers. Only registered users will be allowed to view the installation and all other users will be redirected to the login page. Users attempting to view blog content via RSS are also authenticated via HTTP Auth. You can exclude the registration, the homepage and blog pages (e.g. posts, archives and non-buddypress pages) from protection. In combination with the plugin 'Invitation Code Checker' your installation stays private but the registration is for users with a special password open.

  • Build a professional learning community platform to help educators engage in conversation, share innovative ideas, discover and curate useful resources, document successful practices, and apply them in their own classrooms and schools.
  • Support and sustain continuity between in-person meetings and professional development opportunities. Help new constituents get up to speed and become valuable, active partners in learning communities.
  • drafted policies for user-generated content
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • After having tried nearly every plugin option (and combination), I settled on WP Types & Views (now called WP-Toolset), which allowed me to rapidly prototype and improve data structures. Then, I used Gravity Forms to create front-end forms to prompt educators to organize and classify their recommended resources.
  • This work has only just begun, but WP-Toolset has provided all the features we’ve needed; indeed it can be compared favorably with the Blocks, Views, Panes, and Panels modules and functions for Drupal.

  • bp-custom.php is often compared to your theme’s functions.php file. However, there are two primary differences between bp-custom.php and your theme’s functions.php.
  • bp-custom.php runs from the /wp-content/plugins/ folder and is therefore independent from your theme. This is useful for adding code snippets that are BuddyPress-specific. Also, this code will always load regardless of what theme you are using.
  • bp-custom.php runs early in the BuddyPress-loading process. This allows you to override various settings in BuddyPress.

  • I recommend giving people single sign-on options using Twitter, Linkedin, OpenID, Livejournal, etc. as well as Facebook.
  • The rest of your target market still needs to be convinced to care about your community enough to join.
  • Make your homepage interesting enough to visit twice.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • There’s probably a reason Quora, Stackoverflow and most Ning networks all have news feeds on their front pages.
  • Clearly define your niche.
  • clearly define your site’s niche so that users will have an easier time understanding how your site adds value to their lives. For example, Quora is the social network where one gets their questions answered; Stackoverflow is a Q&A network for programmers; Linkedin is a specific network for jobhunting professionals. What specific need does your social network cater to?
  • Beware of outdated plugins and themes.
  • Look at the description closely and check to see if it’s been tested up to the WordPress version you’ve installed. If you’re unsure, search for the plugin forums (every WordPress plugin should have one) and see the latest praises or issues people are discussing on the threads.
  • If a new theme or plugin crashes your site, rename or delete it.
  • I recommend giving people single sign-on options using Twitter, Linkedin, OpenID, Livejournal, etc. as well as Facebook.
  • Your site needs an FAQ. No, really. It does. Although you personally might think that the activity feeds and groups and profile editing links are in the most obvious locations in the world, your users will not. They’re used to their own oft-frequented social networks (cough, Facebook), and  they’ll ask you why clicking on their avatar doesn’t automatically bring them to a “change your profile picture” page or if logging into your site using Facebook Connect will mean that everything they post will automatically get cross-posted to their Facebook wall. In addition, users want to know about your site features.

    I re-discovered my fascination with online community building around the time I subscribed to a shared hosting service, installed WordPress, discovered the Buddypress plugin, and stumbled upon open-source forums where people were amazingly helpfully about sharing troubleshooting tips and code.   This was last December. The discovery turned into an independent study I dubbed "Volunteerism in a Web 2.0 World," which turned into the development of a website and lots of meetings and several pages of an annotated bibliography - all of which I submitted to my Research in Practice Program (RIPP) advisor at the end of the semester.Over the course of my meetings with "stakeholders" (Duke students and administrators) to asses the value of the "website" (an online social network for Duke civic engagement), I learned a few things about designing an online community using WordPress and Buddypress.

  • because Wordpress and Buddypress is all stored on a server that you have access to, then you have complete control over your member's information.
  • Did we mention that Wordpress and Buddypress are run on a GPL license as well? That's a fancy way of saying "it's free."
  • there are other parts of Ning that Buddypress doesn't have right out of the box, namely events, photo and video sharing.
