Thanks BP =), I’ll give this a shot now.

Shame really, I think people prefer to provide solutions on their own blogs.

Did you find a solution? I’m just about to look into it myself.

[LeBear]

My bad, I’ve just realised that wasn’t the solution…

I had to add the code in this function

xprofile_sync_wp_profile

in

wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-screens.php

I’m not sure why it doesn’t work in the bp-custom.php file…

@noizeburger Thank you for sharing this – it’s helped me out greatly.

I might just add to anyone else who’s going to implement this as I’d spent about four hours trying to figure out why it wouldn’t work for me initially.

add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'custom_bp_core_signup_user', 10, 1);

The number 10 states at what point the function should be called. This should work in most instances but I am using a theme with additional buddypress functions built in.

I had to set this to a higher level, meaning it gets executed later on in the process. At least I think that’s right. Anyhow, once I’d changed mine to

add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'custom_bp_core_signup_user', 13, 1);

It worked fine!

It’s worth reading this.

Hi imath,

Thanks for this, I’ll let you know how I get on. I’ve been trying to implement this for some time… I’ve spent way too much time trying to do it.

I’m considering hiring a developer for a couple of hours to integrate this functionality. Are you available or can you recommend someone?

I was experiencing something similar. This resolved my problem.

It relays your emails through a trusted SMTP service, I’ve not had any problems since. It’s worth installing just to test.

@pewit you’re a star for providing that method, cheers!
