uses the default wp-login.php
Thanks for that. Im still trying to work out where it is breaking so im just asking the same question on all support forums for the plugins that i use.
A shot in the dark, but can you think of anything that could cause the EE and BuddyPress to stop working? I know that they are both popular plugins and people do use them in conjunction with each other.

dont use Event Espresso….have used events organizer and events manager this 2 plugins which support buddypress…does Event Espresso support buddypress?
It does indeed. There are a few development teams that specialise in both pieces of software. It is pretty good for it out of the box but once you start getting specific with your events and user management you need some custom code.
We have a small chunk of code that will grab new users, work out which event they have signed up for and insert them into 2 BuddyPress groups based on the location of the event they have signed up for.
Im not a PHP developer though so im not too sure of the exact details of how it works together.
To be honest though, i never had chance to look into alternatives to either Event Espresso or BuddyPress. The website and plugins were already installed when i started working on the project. Most of what i have learnt about them both so far has been trial, error, headbutt keyboard and repeat.
I have worked out though that it is definitely an issue with BuddyPress and EE (after all that). It seems the BuddyPress login and registration takes precedence over the Event Espresso one.
It also seems to be creating new users as moderators as well. But thats a different story and isnt a BuddyyPress issue.

In events organizer and events manager they dont have separate login/registration …they only use the BP login/registration
Event Espresso uses the WP login/registration, but they also check and locks a lot of the functions in wp-login.php before they can be called. This has only been recently, but i think it was done to enable users to go through the registration process without leaving the event checkout page. Before recent, when signing up for a new account and event, you would have to leave the page to activate your account and then start the process of ordering again. not ideal really.
Its not perfect in all honesty. I think il try some of the other options out on my local server see what they work like. Although i wont be using them on the website in question as we have already purchased the license for our current system. And modified it now.
