BuddyPress

Hi all:

I’m attempting to reinstall buddypress with wp 3.0 network setting activated. The site is http://nextnewsroom.com. In the admin dashboard, I can add new users and new sites. I have the settings to allow new registrations. However, new users can not register themselves from the registration page (http://nextnewsroom.com/register/). It just cycles back to the registration form. Any suggestions?

yah, the same happens with me. have wp 3.0 and latest updates of buddypress. site is boholtech.com.

anyone?

This is also happening to me. Seems like registering in the BP form isnt working. I also got the latest versions of WP and BP

same problem with me… would love to have a solution for this.
Did any of you found a solution for this?

Found the cullprit; the ‘SI Captcha’ plugin was preventing it because of a wrong set file permission.
Check the plugin settings page and it will say what is wrong.

You need to make sure “Anyone Can Register” is checked off under Membership in the General Wordpress Settings

@Chris O’Brien I just visited your website looks like you have siad yes to “Hide admin bar for logged out users?:” in buddypress general settings if you change that No than you will see signup links in admin bar.

i am having a similar problem on my site,
http://www.cloudcandle.net

it is a fresh install testing site,
buddypress version 1.2.5.2
wordpress version 3.0.1

i can create users in the admin panel,
but when someone tries (me, my friend, my other friend) to register from the front end, the situation ends on a blank screen, and no confirm/register email gets sent out.
their profile gets added to the users visible on the back end, but does not appear in the users on the front end list.
and they cannot login.

the “allow anyone to register” option IS selected.
i have the admin bar visible to logged out users.
and i have tried with and without askimet enabled.

?

@toymaker try to register when you change to default theme

hi! do you have a resolution for this issue? It is happening to me too!

I can add a user from my admin WP panel, but cannot register using the /register page: I enter all the data (name, username, etc) click on “Complete Sign Up” – > I’m back to the /register page (all the entered data disappeared)
- I’m using the default theme
- the “allow anyone to register” option IS selected.
- tried it with ALL the plugins disabled

thanks

we are having a similar problem. it started happening a few days ago. we’ve installed all updates and tried changing the registration settings on the option page but nothing seems to be working.
thoughts?

the problem for us IS with the theme. we were using the simple wp communty theme which may mean its a compatabilty issue between buddypress and a wp theme. the odd thing is that it worked for the past two months. its not a plug in issue. we could reinstall buddypress and wordpress but we’re afraid we’ll lose all site content.

Is anybody home at BuddyPress.org?

This thread is 5 months old and asks about a serious defect in the sign up process (we just installed BuddyPress and have the same problem – see Dylan’s question above – it gets the names and avatars, but nothing else in the profile form seems to get captured or saved or displayed).

Can anyone help?

You will probably need to add a little more detail, version numbers, theme in use plugins etc. 1.2.6 has no issues that I’m aware of with signup and works correctly so there must be something else upsetting things.

It would help to confirm whether disabling all plugins other than required BP and dropping back to the bp-default theme still presents the issue or whether it works with default bp

This thread is 5 months old and apart from possible usefulness as archive reading (not in this instance) it serves little purpose resurrecting old threads to post to, and is generally not the done thing to do on forum please always create a fresh thread on an issue.
