I’m not getting a register button or page. I do get an error in some registration script when i try and install and use any of the registration plugins for BP. Please help.

What theme are you using?
Did you enable registration in dashboard menu Settings > General – Membership ?

[dreamlarp]

thank you very much. i was looking in the BP settings. I would like to know a good theme for a game site. the defalt doesnt look so great for that.

[@mercime]

You’re welcome

== the defalt doesnt look so great for that. ==

The bp-default theme can be tweaked to look like a gaming theme if you know some CSS/HTML at the very least. Change background color to dark/black, add some silver/gold medals/otherstuff with some cool header font/s and you’re good to go.

Or, you could always download a regular WordPress theme with the look you want. Then you will only have to install/activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through the Appearance > BP Compatibility process. We have a list of template-packed WP theme to date https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

I’m having the same problem with no registration page and have membership enabled. http://www.scifispace.com/blog

I have to fix a lot of the templates yet, but without registration working, little point on it.

Also noticed I get errors trying to change the avatar – says there was an error cropping it, please try again.

== no registration page and have membership enabled. ==
@labeshops You need to enable Registration in dashboard menu Settings > General

== Also noticed I get errors trying to change the avatar – says there was an error cropping it, please try again.==
1. Trying to change the avatar –> you mean you were able to upload and crop avatar before?
2. Are you able to upload and crop images in Pages > Add New or Posts > Add New panel?
3. Is this a new installation or did you upgrade from previous versions of BP/WP?

@mercime thanks for the response…

I do have membership enabled in settings > general as I already said I did.

It’s a new buddypress installation so no, was never able to upload & crop an avatar before as this is the first time I tried.

Yes, I can upload, crop etc images everywhere else.

New installation of both wordpress and buddypress – installed both yesterday.

I’m having a problem with the registration page. When I type in the url imgmatters.com/walkforasl/register, it takes me to the home page (imgmatters.com/walkforasl) Same thing when I clicked the ‘view’ button on BuddyPress’ interface (in WordPress) to view the register page.

I have installed Buddypress on a brand new site using the Default theme.
When a visitor creates an account on the site, they do not show up as members. When I go in through my dashboard, I find them listed as subscribers. How do I get Members on the site that can join Groups?

@MzPosativ Members will not show up on the front-end BP Members page until they have logged in to the site.
