Anyone managed to come up with a solution to this?
It’s a bit lack of logic to allow fields to be set as required in the backend but never show them to the user when registering … what kind of required fields are they than?
I have the same problem – latest BP / WP (3.1.2) versions installed. Fact is that in the buddypress “Profile Field Setup” you are allowed to create different groups of fields and set for each field if it’s required or not.
BUT, all fields other than those from the 1st group are NOT considered in the registration process!
The email is apparently sent once the user completed only the 1 step, and it just stops after asking the user to upload a photo.
So basically, the extra group fields (no matter how “required” they might be) are fully IGNOFRED in the registration process!
@rich! If you wanna help, than please help to the end …
Not all of us are coders, you know ….
Unless I would have programmed BP myslef, there is no way to make any sense of what you wrote …
Where are those functions / actions defined?
Can’t you please write the code here, so that also the less fortunate of us can understand?
