BuddyPress

Hello guys i have already asked this question and related queries but have not got any problem solving answer. now i want to go step by step explain what i have done and what am expecting ..but its not happening.

I have created a community at with wordpress 3.0 and have installed buddypress 1.2.5.2
Now my problem is i have a single account of admin. I have put “Anyone can register ” on. So i have got Register page in my site.
Now when i create a new user from community account gets created as i see that under user section in my dashboard but i can not login with that user on community …whats wrong here please tell me

Please tell me if you know where i have mistaken …

same with me here. I do clean install of Wordpress 3.0. Activated Buddypress in the plugins. Updated permalinks to use with simple urls. Apply some tricks that can be seen at http://ikailo.com/94/url-modrewrite-workaround-iis-60/ to url since I’m in windows server. Don’t have mod_rewrite. Tried signup, but it just redirects to the same page. site is boholtech.com

No One know the answer here?????????????????????????????

I’ve done something similar, however, the user I created I did by using the dashboard feature to create a new user. I could then login as that user. (Wasn’t quite sure what level to give them, mind).

I wonder if it sent you a confirmation email (you, in the user role, not you in the admin role) & your email system spammed it?

Have you tried creating one from the admin dash?

I can create them from Admin panel but thats not what i want it to be. I have like 500 users for this community i m going to develop so cant create them manually from admin panel . user need to register from website itself.

- Dashboard / Settings / General: check anyone can register box
- username has to contain small letters only

I have checked anyone can register box and trying with the small letter username.

The problem is not with user creation. I mean when do signup on my site user is created and i can see the entry same on my admin panel / users.

But when i try to log in the site with newly created user name and password it just doesn’t.

Plz help ********************

you’ll have been sent an email with an account activation link, clicking that will activate the account and enable you to log in. (I have just done this myself using my WP3.0 test install).

What kind of support forum is this? If you google about this “buddypress activation email problem” it’s all over the !@#&% place, and no one has an answer? I’ve seen forum after forum post, thread, question, whatever and well over a dozen “fixes”, none of which have worked for me.

This is absurd. Registrars not getting their activation emails and, as a result, not being able to log in, basically renders Buddypress USELESS. I wished I’d known about this before I spent the last three !@#&% days customizing my site.

Here’s an idea… Don’t release this crap without being 110% sure that the most important feature (people being able to become members) works.

And at the very least can you guys answer the question… How can we fix the problem?

Justin what is your Website address?
What version of BP and WordPress?
What version of PHP?
Does your host allow you to send PHP mail?
Have you tried with all plugins off?
Does it work with the default BuddyPress Theme?
This all works fine for me with BP 1.2.5.2 and WP 3.0 using…

It’s the kind of support forum where politeness goes a long way. The only issue I’m aware of with BuddyPress page links is that some installs running on IIS need some extra stuff added; that’s vague because I’m not an IIS user, I don’t have access to a machine to dev on, and I don’t know about the typical Microsoft hosting environment.

If your install of WordPress can send emails successfully, then BuddyPress can too. We can’t be held responsible for what emails are marked as spam by mail servers.

You have also told us no details about your setup; please see http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/

@pisanojm
1.) 4xjunction.com
2.) WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.5.2
3.) PHP 5.x
4.) Yes, they allow PHP mail (it works fine until Buddypress is activated)
5.) Yes, I’ve tried with all plugins off
6.) It works with the default as well as any other theme, except Buddypress

Thanks for the respnose,

It’s funny you should say that when it wasn’t until two weeks later (after the original post) that a moderator / support team member (you) chimed in on this, and that was because someone (me) wasn’t very polite (intentionally). So it looks like rudeness, not my normal MO, went a little bit further than politeness (this time), but served its purpose none the less. Thanks for responding.

Now, to answer your question / statement…

1.) My hosting environment is linux, not windows.

2.) My install of wordpress does send emails successfully, until I activate Buddypress (then it breaks).

3.) The emails aren’t going to SPAM, lol. That was the first thing I checked (on 5 different email accounts).

Again, thanks for the response.

everyone here is a volunteer and may not read every single thread or know the answer to every unique issue. probably does not help when being a bit off-putting.

All sign-up steps work until the confirmation message? what is the status in the users table for the failed signup user? does each failed signup user have an activation key in the usermeta table? if so – that at least tells us the bp_core_signup_user process works up bp_core_signup_send_validation_email (which only builds the email message and executes wp_mail() )

have a look in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-signup.php at the functions and steps.

if you are using multisite, then it is a different process
