So, for a temporary solution, I edited the BuddyPress register.php page (in both Default theme and legacy template) to generate a random email address each time the register page loads, and hid the email required field.
would like an option, however, where I don’t have to touch the actual BuddyPress code.
I’m not seeing any of the suggested puglins ( Optional Email or Registration Plus Redux as they are the only 2 that meet my criteria) showing up in the Buddypress registration process.
Since we have to assing buddypress registration pages, only buddypress’s fields are showing.
If i deactivate buddy press and use the wplogin registration procedure, then either plugin works fine.
what can I do to change it so that when buddypress is active and using its registration page, that either plugin’s options are showing up?
This is just policy now. We will not implement anything that will collect email addresses (Germany is are main reason). Our company rather go the restrictive route at this point since we address nearly 40 coutnries and have to deal with every single one of their privacy / information laws.
