Add-On: BuddyPress + Shield Integration
Block Malicious Bots On BuddyPress
ShieldPRO fully integrates with all user forms provided by BuddyPress to ensure that all requests made by bots are intercepted before being received.
Protect BuddyPress From SPAM Bots
Brute Force Login Bots aren’t just interested in your WordPress forms. They want to get to all your user forms.
If there’s a form to submit, they will try to submit it.
This includes forms that use the BuddyPress WordPress user forms such as login, registration and lost password.
Block Fake User Registrations
There are few things more frustrating than cleaning out and dealing with fake user registrations that bypass our form protections, such Google reCAPTCHA.
Shield’s deep integrations with BuddyPress ensures that all your user forms are protected, particularly user registration.
This way your site won’t fill up with fake, spam users.
CAPTCHAs Destroy The User Experience
CAPTCHAs do a great job of ruining the visitor experience in every way.
They can be buggy, causing Javascript form errors which will ultimately lose you conversions or important contacts from potential customers.
So why must we inflict them upon legitimate visitors?
Because until now, CAPTCHA’s have been the only option we’ve had for WordPress forms.
Shield’s exclusive AntiBot Detection Engine completely eliminates the need for CAPTCHAS, or any other bot prevention systems, that destory the User Experience.
With Shield’s unique Bot-Detection technology, you can deliver all BuddyPress forms to your visitors without any CAPTCHAs that frustrate your visitors, increase friction and lose you contacts and sales.
How Does Shield Affect BuddyPress Forms?
See below the sample form that uses Shield’s AntiBot Detection Engine:
No CAPTCHAs on a form:
- drastically improves the user/visitor experience
- reduces potential for form/javascript errors when CAPTCHAs go wrong
- increases customer conversions

This is one of the founding tenets of Shield - to never edit core WordPress files, like the .htaccess file. Part of our motivation to build Shield was because so many other security plugins didn't take the due care required when modifying critical files like this, and they took down websites when they got it wrong.
Shield Security is a big WordPress plugin with lots of features and options. It can be overwhelming if you're not familiar with it. But don't worry, you don't have to do everything all at once. Take your time, work through it, explore features, read the help articles and of course, reach out to our support team who can help guide you.
Shield doesn't play favourites - it assumes all visitors could be a potential threat. This means that if you accidentally trigger Shield's defenses, and you do it repeatedly, you may get locked out. But don't worry, Shield also offers ways to unblock your IP. This is all documented in our helpdesk portal, and with ShieldPRO you'll have access to our team who can guide you every step of the way.
Simply put, no, it wont. Any plugin added to a WordPress site adds to the load, but with Shield being so big, we've had to design it to be as efficient and performant as possible. We use it on all our sites too, so the last thing we want is to slow down our sites, nevermind those of our customers. We take performance seriously and have optimised Shield functionality to operate in the background, or after pages have loaded, except when it's a bad bot - then we kill it early!
We provide the option to pay with nearly all types of credit cards, PayPal, and Google Pay. We don't directly handle your payment - we use Stripe/PayPal as our payment processor to maximise security and safety of your data.
