Right… i have that working, my final ‘issue’ is the way it doesnt like spaces.
If you register with bp deactivated, you can use spaces in your name. If you then reactivate buddypress you can log in with the name (using spaces) and it just puts the -‘s in the mention part, which is fine.
However if i register with buddypress installed, the confirmation email is sent with my username and spaces filled with -‘s. So i register with 1 2 3, then my username becomes 1-2-3…
With very little php knowledge, i copy and pasted the wp-signup.php code (from the main wordpress folder) and replaced the bp-default themes register.php with the code.
It looks like its worked because the forms etc sit nicely on the page and actually stay in the theme.
But when clicking on the register or w.e button, it gets an error which is caused by the validation method…
Not sure if im going about this the right way?
I would just love to redirect the page to the normal wp-register lol.
