Phen, no I do not have bbPress installed. Also, I understand what you are saying about the plugins. However, I personally cannot recreate how these bozo’s are still registering so how would I test each pluggin? I would have to wait between each pluggin for a long period of time to see if some spammer signed up.

Errr, this is frustrating. I guess about my only option is to review each plugin and see if it states that it allows registration and see what I come up with.

Thanks
Tam

Phen-Yes, that is correct. It is already disable and shows disabled however these losers are STILL registering on my blog. No I haven’t changed anything in between last post and this post ?? That’s why I’m confused. It is disabled, shows disabled, yet they can still register????

Tam

Phen- it appears that they are registering for my BLOG not the wpstore.

IE: New user registration on your site The Fly On The Wall | A little bit of humor topped with posts on saving money, reviews.:

Now I think they are going straight to a register page such as: https://the-fly-on-the-wall.com/wp-register.php which states it is disabled but some how these spammers are still registering, I just got another one. So they are registering some how.

Any other ideas? PS I did remove the testing store buttons ??

Tam

You know what I will go look at that as I was simply testing a cart and I will find out if registration is for the store or the blog and post what I find here ??

Thanks Phenomenoodle (boy that’s hard to type hee hee)

Tam

Yeah I think the BlueHost man must have changed it ?? I remember him telling me wait a minute I’m changing RockOfHorror and i didn’t tell him it was a multipost blog ??

No worries though YOU are the man ipstenu you fixed me woo hoo!!!!

Sorry about the double post. I’m sure I did that ?? duh me.

Anyhoo have a great week.

Tam

Thanks Andrea_r,

Yep we have determined it has to be the .htaccess file because I made a goof in it the other day and it took down all my blogs. BlueHost helped me with the main blog in question and well I’m not sure about this one. Here is the code but I guess I better go back from the beginning and make sure I do it right this time errrr ??

Let me know what you think

Tam

ipstenu, funny you ask me because I woke up this morning remembering my blog DID work until I had a .htaccess snafu accross the board on all my blogs and BlueHost went in and fixed the one I needed at the time and this one well who knows what the heck is in it so gonna go check now ??

Thanks for letting me know I was thinking in the right direction. Will keep you posted ?? Woo Hoo I love playing with blogs…..

Tam

Yeah thanks Adcaelo it did install and activate so now I will follow the rest of your directions.

Thanks for sharing.

woo hoo!

Well hmmmm, I had no luck with the 3.2.4 version. Had a big red text error telling me the current version installed was not compatible with multisite so I guess I shall try the 3.2.3 version and see how that goes.

Wish me luck ??

Hi rabbitwordpress,

Can you tell what you put in your PostID section?

I created a page as the instructions stated (Post a page that will use as the sitemap page), added the code to HTML but now trying to get it to build the sitemap and I can’t seem to figure out what the PostID of the sitemap is. My permalink is: https://www.mydomain.com/sitemap

I would be supper happy if you had an easy answer for me ??

Thanks,
Tam

Okay, got it!!! I will read every plugin and see if it says “must be in mu-plugin folder” if not it’s going in the regular ??

Thanks guys! Sheesh what a pain to figure out but now I understand.

Tam

Hey well it appears I can put a plugin in the regular plugin folder (not mu-plugin) and I am given the option to make it Network Active ?? Cool so there really is no need for me to put them in the MU-plugin folder. Woo Hoo!

If I am misunderstanding something please let me know so I don’t mess up my Network site ??

Yeah yeah doing the happy dance.

Tam
PS thanks everyone for help

Hi David,

Thanks for the link. So if I use the code you mention, see below, will that read all php files in say 5 different plugins or only in the 1st folder? I have several plugins in the mu-plugin folder ??

Tam

or to include a bunch of php files inside the first folder:

<?php
$my_plugins = glob( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/my_plugins_folder/*.php’);
if( is_array( $my_plugins ) ) {
foreach ( $my_plugins as $my_plugin ) {
if( is_file( $my_plugin ) )
include_once( $my_plugin );
}
}
?>

Cool I guess I can start there and make sure they are all okay to be there then I can figure out why the plugins are not being seen while they are in their folders.

Thanks again!
