BuddyPress.org

Hi I am a newbie to BuddyPress and WordPress.

I am using WordPress 4.1.1, BuddyPress 2.2.1 with theme Twenty Fifteen (tried with eleven, twelve and thirteen as well)

* I enabled registration for all.
* I went to the BuddyPress settings, left the components at the default settings.
* On the Page tab pages were generated for Members, Activities, Registration and Activation.
* If I press the view button for the registration page I get a blank page displayed with the following url. <host>:<port>/index.php/register/
* If I log out and press the register link the url is <host>:<port>/register/ and I get a 404

I searched your forums and there seems to be a number of people with this or a similar problem but I could not find a solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey all, I’m new to the whole Buddypress thing but not new to WordPress.

I am soon to start up my own metal community soon for anyone who listens to metal music, metal bands and artists included and have chosen to use Buddypress.
Before I do purchase a web host package I thought I’d set it all up on a free test host first just to see what it would look like, how it all works and so on though I have come across a problem already…
So installing the plugin was simple enough and at first everything seemed fine though when I try to register another account just to see if it would work I come across a 404 page not found error, logged in again and checked the pages and the registration page is there.

Looked for a solution on Google and have read some topics in regards to the same or similar issues here and have come to the conclusion that I need to create both register and activate pages? I ask though what would the point of that be when they have already been created automatically?

Was also wondering if anyone knows where I could get a free rock/metal theme for Buddypress?

So here is the problem and MY solution. Might not work for you.
What I’m using: WP 3.3.1, BP 1.5.4, & CIMY Extra Fields 2.3.7

I register users from my WordPress page, NOT my BuddyPress page. So not myurl.com/register BUT I AM USING myurl.com/wplogin.php?action=register

What was happening: CIMY generates a key before BuddyPress generates a key. THEN, Buddypress would send out its own email, but WordPress is looking for the CIMY key to activate the user.

Also, when BuddyPress was sending out the activation email from bp_core_filters.php, NOT bp_members_signup.php. It seems that bp_core_filters.php does not seem to have the function to activate a user, but bp_members_signup.php does.

When I would register users from my BuddyPress page instead of the WordPress page, the activate email would work just fine. The email was also being sent from bp_members_signup.php, NOT bp_core_filters.php. How do I know? I altered the email message in filters.php, but then got a different email when I registered through BuddyPress and not WordPress.

Okay. So what did I do?

bp_core_filters.php was overriding my CIMY activation email. When I disabled BuddyPress, I was able to register users through CIMY and my activation link even said ‘?cimy_key=838494040383830209’ (not a real key, obviously) and not just ‘?key=8393834929282’

Before you do this, save a clean copy of bp_core_filters.php somewhere different, so if this doesn’t work for you, you can put the old file back in without any problems.

I went into bp_core_filters.php and DELETED lines 224-255. This starts with:

?function bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification( $user, $user_email, $key, $meta ) {

$activate_url = bp_get_activation_page() . “?key=$key”;
$activate_url = esc_url($activate_url);
$admin_email = get_site_option( ‘admin_email’ );

if ( empty( $admin_email ) )
$admin_email = ‘support@’ . $_SERVER;?

Then it ends with, on line 255

?add_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification’, ‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification’, 1, 4 );?

Delete all code between lines 224 and 255. If you have WPMU, above that is the email function for WPMU, in lines 181-222.

Why am I using CIMY and not just extending the profile fields on BuddyPress? I needed to collect address data. It was a requirement to collect address data from the registration. But, it would then display publicly on the profile in BuddyPress. I couldn’t have that. I just wanted the data in WordPress, hidden. Thus, I’m using CIMY.

Also, I use CIMY and hide the buddypress admin bar to strangers. I use the plugin login logout and place the widget in a sidebar to direct to the correct login screen, not the buddypress login screen.

BuddyPress is running but is not handling any registration, activation, etc. But users can still use it.

Hey all,

I seem to be having some issues with the transition from old WP to new.

A sequence of unfortunate events has lead me to wipe out my once beautifully integrated WP-BP coupon enthusiast site (www.shopcents.net). The entire site was fine one day, and completely a wreck the next. I was getting redirection errors as well as 404’s on every page and blank screens when trying to access the dashboard. I had to delete all themes and plugins from my ftp manager. Now, starting fresh again I installed the WordPress update 3.3 and next on my list was to install Buddypress again. I did so through the Plugins page and upon activation I get a blank screen. When Buddypress is deleted, everything goes back to normal. To make sure this wasn’t a site or hosting issue, I installed a Maintenance Mode plugin and all works fine.

My hosting company (of who I won’t mention any names) tells me that there are no hosting issues going on and therefore won’t help me. I am desperately seeking some advice from all the seasoned WP-BP veterans out there!

Thank You!

I am running WordPress 3.2.1 and installed BuddyPress, activated it, ran the activation wizard accepting all the defaults and changed the theme to the default BuddyPress theme. All of my pages are no longer accessible or found (menu links return 404 not found error).

I did install and activate bbPress as well to cater for site wide forums. I de-activated this but it did not help fix the issue.

I have since de-acitvated BuddyPress but the issue remains.

I have created new pages since deactivating BuddyPress but this has not fixed the issue either.

Lost patience.

I made my site yesterday and I’ve been trying to fix it up, but whenever I do anything really, it redirects to a 404 page, then instantly redirects to the unerrored page. My buddy has told me it popped up when he uploaded an avatar, when he wrote on my wire, when he accepted my friend request, when posting on the forums… The site is working fine, however. If a 404 page error comes up, everything is still processed. I would just like to get rid of the 404 page and instead make it look a lot smooth and cleaner.

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? root
4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WP/MU? If so, from which version? Nope
5. Was WP/MU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. I didn’t test it; I installed it directly
6. Which version of BP are you running? 1.2.4.1
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? Nope

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? a custom theme, Darwin
10. Have you modified the core files in any way? Not in any way that would affect this.
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? Don’t believe so.
