BuddyPress

Hello, i am trying to make my registration very simple and to allow better variety of usernames i wish to use the wp register system NOT the buddypress.

If i go to domain.com/wp-login.php?action=register

it redirects to domain.com/register… which is very annoying.

Any help?

This should work.
Add it to your bp-custom.php file.

Right… i have that working, my final ‘issue’ is the way it doesnt like spaces.

If you register with bp deactivated, you can use spaces in your name. If you then reactivate buddypress you can log in with the name (using spaces) and it just puts the -’s in the mention part, which is fine.

However if i register with buddypress installed, the confirmation email is sent with my username and spaces filled with -’s. So i register with 1 2 3, then my username becomes 1-2-3…

Any ideas on that one?

@Craiglovelock – you will have to figure out how to insert a custom textfield into the wordpress registration page and then insert a “name” field (sorry, cant help more since i have never touched the wordpress registration form)

Since you have disabled the buddypress registration form and you have given wordpress back control over it, you may get better answers on the wordpress.org forums.
