    Hi Milan,
    Thank you for the question.

    Due to some other priority, I am unable to check and assist currently. Please allow me to look into it by Tuesday.

    Thank you

    Thank you Ben, Eddy, Mic.

    I sincerely appreciate all of you for helping me find and fix the issue.
    I am thankful to all of you and our community for bearing with us during this inconvenient experience.

    It should not happen in future and even if someone tries to spam us in future, their efforts will be not much fruitful.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Hi Ben, Eddy
    Thank you. Both of you. My initial estimate from the spammer’s profile was incorrect. I went through the activity list and I can see that they spammed around 600 posts today.

    I am very sorry. Going to add own own activity rate limiter this weekend to avoid such incident in future.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Hi Daniel,
    Please visit Dashboard->Users->Profile Field s and edit the member type profile field. Try disabling Autolink and let me know if that works or not?

    Regards

    Hi Ben,
    Thank you for letting me know.

    It’s strange, the comment should have been removed when I marked the user as spammer. Can you please link me to the comment?

    Regards

    Hi Eddy,
    My apologies for the inconvenience to you and others.

    We were not hacked.
    A user registered and started spamming our activity stream. We noticed it but by then, they had sent spam to around 15 users.

    We marked the user as spam, so all their activity was removed. That’s why you are seeing 404.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Johan,
    This should be doable.

    I am unable to check it right now. I or one of my team mates will check it in the day and post the code.

    Regards

    Hi Luca,
    Thank you for the question.

    It is not doable out of the box or in simple ways.

    There is a workaround to filter activity based on user id from a specific member type. The method is not efficient and will become a bottleneck for even moderately active site.

    Here is how to achieve that
    Filter on activity query
    fetch all user ids belonging to the specific member type.
    Limit query to users belonging to these list.

    That seems the only way to achieve it.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi F. Sass,

    Thank you for purchasing the plugin from us.

    I am sorry for your bad experience with PayPal.

    We are based in India and other than PayPal we have very limited choice for international payment currently. We are hoping that stripe becomes available soon here. That will help provide more choices. For time time being we are stuck with PayPal.

    I sincerely appreciate you enduring the experience. I am looking forward to better future options.

    Thank you
    Brajesh
