Yep BuddyPress has it’s own registration page, it ususally automatically creates it – register though in reality buddypress does not use this pages content and just uses the pages slug as an anchor. You can go to Dashboard>>Users>>Profile Fields to add additional profile fields to the register page, you just add them to the Main field group. These are added to the right side of the registration page in the same order as viewed in the main profile group page.
Sorry I thought you were testing the registration page from the front end. So you are saying that clicking on edit the registration page redirects you to the homepage?
I don’t think they work that way, I also looked at BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields but that did not allow for that, just a single field to enter the value. You might want to suggest it as a feature request on BuddyPress Trac:
I’ve just been able change the cover image on a test server running 2.9.3, could your issue be browser specific or something? I tried with both Firefox and Chrome.
You can use one of the BuddyPress privacy plugins to set aspects of your site as private and visible only to logged in users. For example it’s a feature of BuddyPress Registration Options or BuddyPress Simple Privacy, or BuddyPress Members Only.
I think the first thing to do is to rule out a plugin conflict, there’s definitely something not working, something interfering with the registration process. S you need to test this with just BuddyPress loaded and a standard theme like 2017.
There’s no plugin that allows you to do that, but if you’ve got FTP access to your WordPress directories, it’s actually quite a simple task.
Firstly you need to find out the numeric user id for the person whose profile image you wish to change. I just looked them up in the bp_xprofile_data table using phpAdmin. however if that’s over your head you can go to Dashboard>>Users>>All Users and waive your mouse over that user, you will see the user id in the link address to edit that user, it will be something like …user-edit.php?user_id=17….
Once you have the user id, go to the wp-content/uploads/avatars directory. If the user already has a profile image there will be a directory with the same number as that user id, if they don’t you can create one.
Look inside the directories for one of the other users. Inside there you will find two files – ……bpfull.jpg and …….bpthumb.jpg. Download and find the size of these files, then you can create your new profile images, name them something similar (with the same length random string at the front, starting with a number, and that should be it.
Another potential pitfall comes from using the default wp email address, some mail providers seem to be blocking these emails, you can get a plugin to change this default address CB Change Mail Sender is one.
