I don’t think it is a problem with email in either case so those plugins probably won’t help – The page itself is not loading correctly, as far as I can tell…

I was just suggesting that the problem he was describing was very similar to yours ( but I can’t see any other similarities at the moment, which might have been a clue ) ….

The .htaccess file should be in the same ( ‘root’ ) folder as your website’s wp-config.php file…

I don’t at the moment have any further ideas….

There is something wrong with your register page as, I think, it should have Name ( at least ) as a required field under the profile details section.

If I click on ‘complete sign up’ without filling anything in then it redirects to the home page whearas I think it should stay on the same page but with error messages.

What plugins are your using? Single or multi-site? Any unusual permalink or .htaccess settings?

Have you altered the Name field in any way from the default:

This seems to be similar to @allentan‘s problem: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/registeration-doesnt-work/

http://testbp.org/ is meant to be a better showcase of buddypress than this site

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/ is probably no longer compatible with the latest buddypress.

Did you try the patched version: http://alantait.net/2011/07/27/wp-multi-network-plugin-fix-for-wordpress/ ? In the comments of that page @johnjamesjacoby mentioned ( 12/02/2012 ) that he planned to update wp-multi-network soon…..

@boonebgorges recently wrote http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/45682/7401 which seems particularly relevant to your question. In the post he mentions Networks + as an alternative way to enable multiple networks but it is a premium plugin.

There is something wrong with your register page as, I think, it should have Name ( at least ) as a required field under the profile details section.

If I click on ‘complete sign up’ without filling anything in then it redirects to the front page whearas I think it should stay on the same page but with error messages.

Is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/ the plugin that you mentioned in the other topic?

I wonder if it is compatible with buddypress. Buddypress is quite particular about it’s permalinks….. If you disable page-links-to, do you get the profile details content on the register page then?

It could be something else to do with permalinks and the .htaccess file that should be in the same directory as the wp-config.php file.

The usual method for diagnosing issues is to disable all plugins and revert to bp-default. If it then works one can start to reactivate plugins and theme until something goes wrong – ie the last thing you reactivated would be the chief suspect!

oops, i deleted it, so here it is again http://sumtips.com/2011/01/enable-multisite-feature-wordpress-3-1.html

I think the `ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404` line might be complicating things, so I would suggest removing it ( or putting `#` in front ) until the site is working properly again….

[@aces Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

What is in your .htaccess file? The one in the same directory as wp-config.php….

[@aces Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

I tried, and it doesn’t seem to work…..

[@aces Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

I don’t know what is going on….
Some pages are not found, some pages look like bp-default and some pages are what appears to be parallelus-mingle ….

[@aces Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

still not found in ie9 even with cleared cache via developer tools (f12)

What is weird is that it works in firefox

[@aces Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

The link that you gave in the first post gives an HTTP 404 Not Found error.

Have you checked your permalinks? It might be an idea to save them again and check that the .htaccess file looks correct.

Have you deleted any buddypress page at any time? Make sure that the trash is deleted permanently and the permalinks are saved again ( just visiting the page should do that but it is as well to make sure )

See reply on https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-activation-email/

[@aces Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@allentan What debug info does a wp-mail-smtp test email give you.

Does that email actually leave your host’s servers?

The functions.php file would be found in the ( child ) theme directory. If it doesn’t exist you can create one.

Were you logged out when you filled in the registration form?

I wonder if this even is an email problem as I can’t reach normal buddypress pages such as http://learningdigitalphotography.net/activate/ I get `(HTTP 404 Not Found)`….

There is a confusing amount of stuff about ie quirks mode on the internet.

It could be that a previous page put that ie tab into quirks mode.

On this page for instance, on a pc without this issue, if you click f12 in internet explorer ( Developer Tools is built into ie version 8 & 9 ) and from the developer tools dropdown bar’s Document Mode select quirks mode then put http://islandstitcheryguild.org/ in the address bar it will also be in quirks mode…

If this is actually the problem, then on the computers where this happens what is the consequence of manually switching to Document Mode ie9 standards – does it ‘stick’?

[@aces Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@crystal-phoenix I don’t see any problem with internet explorer 9 in ‘normal’ Browser / Document mode

But if I switch (using F12 Developer Tools) to ( Document Mode: ) Quirks then the menu ( Home Activity Groups Members ) is aligned vertically…. on the left etc. ( I haven’t seen your screenshot )

Maybe something is making those ie9 browsers switch to quirks mode – but it didn’t happen to me automatically….

Although I can’t see what on your page would have caused it…

That is taken from @modemlooper‘s bp-columns which is a child theme of bp-default but with a second sidebar…

The article only mentions Networks + to enable multiple networks which is a premium plugin.

There is also a free plugin, by @johnjamesjacoby, to enable multiple networks https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/ but that apparently is no longer compatible.

It has been patched ( http://alantait.net/2011/07/27/wp-multi-network-plugin-fix-for-wordpress/ ) and @johnjamesjacoby mentioned in the comments of that page ( 12/02/2012 ) that he planned to update it soon…
