P.s I added the snippet but the bp registraiton page still comes up
Using BuddyPress < 12.0.0, once you removed the registration page, were you getting a notice to do the page association ?
In BP settings – URLs even if I remove the slug “register” and leave the space blank BP automatically creates a registration page e.g 45134-2. Also if I rename the slug to “abcdefg”, for example, bp will change it to abcdefg-2 so I am not able to point registration to a custom page e.g mysite/customregisterpage
Hello Matthew,
Thanks for your responses & Apologies for only getting back to you now
– WordPress Multisite or regular ?– WordPress Multisite wp 6.4.2 bp 12.0.0
– In the site health information tab, what are the values of:
– WordPress > registration – I only see “Can anyone register on this site? No” (i had to turn on request membership function
– BuddyPress > URL parser – BP Rewrites API
@ingenxcomputers I am seriously stressing because my site is constantly being violated by Russian bots after this latest update and you are splurting out nonsensical questions … Seriously?
The plugin I mentioned is very well documented. I suggest that in the future you do a bit of homework first before jumping in without offering any advice or solutions
Previously, it was possible to eliminate the registration page entirely, which I had to do because of excessive spam sign-ups. However, after the latest update, I attempted to delete the page, only to find that BuddyPress pages are no longer accessible in the network admin panel. I even tried renaming the registration page to something obscure, but I’m still inundated with bot and spam sign-ups.
Is the BuddyPress team aware of what I perceive as a major setback in the latest update? Previously, I used a plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-registration/) to navigate around the weak registration page and I am still using it except that I have the main buddypress registration page causing problems which I cannot cancel. Perhaps I’m overlooking something. If so, could you provide suggestions on how to secure the BuddyPress registration page or eliminate it completely which I would prepare to do as
I’ve never been able to customize it
