Hello,

I am very new to BP. I am currently using BP 1.5 and wordpress 3.2.1.

I have a hosted site running UNIX with Php 5.1.56.

I am testing the site and I wanted to create a test user and see how a new person would interact with the site. I tried to create the user and it once i click complete signup, it takes me back to the main page.

I browsed around buddypress and google and tried making sure the username is in all lowercase, I sent a test email to ensure the activation email wasn’t being sent, and I also checked User in WP-Admin and no new user was created. Also I installed Mail log to see if it had an error sending the email, but Mail log doesn’t even pickup an attempt to send the email. After i sent a test email, mail log picked up that attempt so I know BP isn’t sending the email to create the user.

The plugins I’m using are: BuddyPress, BBPress, Custom permalinks, Events Manager Extneded, and the mail plugins mentioned above.

Also I am using the default Buddypress theme that came with the plugin (I wanted to test the functionality before i started trying to make the theme I actually wanted to use BP compatible)

I have no seen anyone with this issue and any suggestions will be a great help.

Thank you

Bump, can’t seem to find my post unless I search for it

Please double-check what your PHP version is. WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5 require at least PHP 5.4 while your version is 5.1.56. Or did you mean 5.15.6 – big difference.

checking again thats my version of MySQL, i’ll have to check again for the version of php

[brambo23]

ahh found it, my php version is 5.2.17

looks like i still need to get it updated

I’ll work on that

[brambo23]

Ok so I talked to my hosting provider and essentially I’m stuck with 5.2.17, does anyone else have any other suggestions?

[@mercime]

Consider moving to another hosting provider.

[brambo23]

so your 100% convinced that this is just a php version issue?

[brambo23]

Well i followed your recommendations, switched to a new host with the recommended php version, and that still didn’t work. Now can I get a different suggestion?

[brambo23]

here is a interesting thing, even if i don’t enter anything into the fields, and just click Complete sign up. It takes me back to the home page without any notices. I will be investigating that but thought this might be a clue as to the problem.

bump, still unable to find the problem

[brambo23]

Well i found the problem, you must have at least 1 field in the base profile field or the signup will not work at all
