Hello, couple questions: Is there a way to have buddypress not use the wordpress UI for logging in? It looks horrible for a member site.

And, why isn’t there a register button anywhere when before logging in?

Last question I wanted to throw in here, do users need to ever do a bbpress install? I noticed there was no forum button anywhere.

Thanks.

@jhansensd http://testbp.org/ has the default theme and your users don’t have to go to the backend to log in. As for registration, it’s the “Create an account” in same login panel on the sidebar. You can can easily create a Register Now button in your BP child theme if you prefer. Users do not install bbPress, the Site Admin does.

Recommend that you read the “Getting Started” section in Codex – https://codex.buddypress.org/home/
