BuddyPress.org

Can we get a link to your site please?

It’s quite probable it just won’t work. BuddyPress intentionally interferes with the page that WordPress thinks its loading (when it’s a BuddyPress URL), and I suspect Yoast SEO will look at this page object, and because we’ve messed with it and because it doesn’t map to a real WordPress Page, it won’t work.

Sorry!

Cool!

Welcome Pack! Small world.

Can you try disabling Welcome Pack? That certainly interferes with user registration.
Please also try disabling iThemes Security.

Then, test registration again, and see what happens.

If it still doesn’t work as expected, if you can switch your theme to one of the default WordPress themes (leaving those two plugins…[Read more]

Great!

It should work like that by default. What plugins do you have running, what theme are you using, and what other code customisations might you have made?

@fail2reap So… after the user sends the registration form, rather than go to the page that says something like “check your email for an activation link”, you want to redirect them somewhere else?

I’m afraid I still can’t recreate this. I may be misunderstanding it wrong.

Let’s wait for someone else to come along and try to reproduce the problem.

Our user details and activity goes into a massive database; however I don’t want this to be impacted by the forum users

If this is absolutely non-negotiable (don’t share the database), you are going to almost certainly have to set up a separate WordPress site, just for your community.

There is one users table in the database, provided by W…[Read more]

Look at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/member-types/ and https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/bp-member-type-generator/ and http://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddypress-member-types/

I have heard this report a few times but I have never seen enough detail to figure it out. Often, it goes away when someone creates a page for “activation”, but that has apparently already been done here.

Let me know if you figure anything interesting @danbp 🙂

@damndramaqueen Can you take a screenshot?

Are you testing this with Firefox? If so, try another browser. Let me know.

This is a better question for somewhere on the WordPress.org forums. More people over there, and this isn’t specific to BuddyPress. 🙂

Do other BuddyPress emails get sent?
Do WordPress emails get sent? (comment notification, new user registration, etc).

Anything’s possible, but the reason it’s not by done by default in the UI is that the field value in the database is a LONGTEXT field and is not indexed. This means a slow DB query if we wrote one, and a site of your scale, you’d notice the (lack of) performance.

It sounds like you’re trying to set member type in bulk, and you were hoping to use…[Read more]

Something like this, maybe? Not tested.

Yes, ^ that should work.

@wpsoul

I’ve set up both types of select box:

Chrome: https://cloudup.com/cazMTZWXnwr
Firefox: https://cloudup.com/cCPPDjoZTKj

I see the description with both for both types of field. I don’t understand or see a problem. I think this issue is probably specific to your site, you can probably fix it with some custom CSS.

You did not say what version you update from, but when the emails were improved in v2.5, there was a bug with exactly this that hit some people – but not everyone – which we fixed in a minor release.

First, go to wp-admin Tools > BuddyPress, and run the re-install email tool. This will delete the terms and the posts, and recreate them.

Is your site public? Link to it.
