Just installed BuddyPress, but I can’t find my registration page

I installed Buddypress latest version on WordPress 2.9.2 and installed it on Hostgator and these work fine on two of my sites. However, I couldn’t find the register page on either. I try typing http://contentsource.us/register or on a fresh WordPress install http://buddypress.caerberu.com/register just to see if it works and still nothing. What am i doing wrong?

Thanks and best regards
Oliver

also, the links on top of Buddypress show Buddypress, Login, and no “Sign Up” like here on the Buddypress site. How to make it appear like that? Thanks again

@lee_vhoi_ol You need to go into the ‘General settings’ in your admin panel and tick the box that says ‘membership’ – Anyone Can Register.

That will create the link to registrations.

Thanks for the reply, I just went into my wp-admin panel and on to Buddypress>General Settings but I do not find any Membership box. Here are the choices available:

Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?: Yes No
Hide admin bar for logged out users?: Yes No
Disable avatar uploads? (Gravatars will still work): Yes No
Disable user account deletion?: Yes No
Disable global forum directory?: Yes No
Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?: Yes No
Default User Avatar

I also tried the other sections under Buddypress, and they don’t seem to be there. Am I missing anything?

Thanks

You are in the BP settings there. Click on the WP settings near the bottom.

Settings—> General you’ll see it in there!

[@lee_vhoi_ol Member 14 years, 6 months ago]

It worked! Thanks rossagrant, I really appreciate your help!

[@rossagrant Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

No problem, glad I could help!

Hi, everyone,
I have similar problems with registration
1. .I can’t see my registration page anywhere.
2. When I use the http://mariamar.com/register URL, it just sends me back to the homepage.
3. I also don’t know how to place a registration link or box so visitors can register.

I see that the consistent answer here is Settings/ General.
I’ve done that. Still the problem is not solved.
INFO
I’m using WordPress 3.03 (or 4? Anyways, the one previous to 3.05) I installed BP and then used the available links to make it work with my theme, suffusion, which is the theme I use in all our blogs, as is the best one around for creating flexible widgets and highly customized design, so I don’t want to change it. I don’t know if this affects the situation. Just thought to mention this.
PLEASE HELP!
Well, I’m stuck. Have looked everywhere for a solution. I would appreciate some quick response from the very nice fellows in this forum.

Thanks,
MM

And you have installed the Suffusion BP template pack plugin and gone through that process, checked permalink settings, or at least revisted the permalink page to force a refresh; any other issues with links?

Have you logged out?
If you click on that link (your no. 2) it will send you to homepage if logged in….
