BuddyPress.org

I’m using WP 3.4.2 and BP 1.6.1. I think they are the latest versions.
It’s a single site.
I’m hosted at Bluehost.
I started the website by downloading WordPress then immediately downloading Buddypress.
I have deactivated all other plugins except Buddypress and bbpress, and yes, I went back to the default theme.
My registration page has been giving me problems. At first it was a blank page but I figured out how to get the registration to at least show up (the blank page was from conflicting plugins). Now I can fill in all of my information on the registration page but when I press “complete sign up,” it refreshes the page back to the registration page with all of my info still filled in except my password. No account is created. No email is sent.
I have registration enabled and have tried registering as not just a “member” but some of the other ones. I have tried different themes, deactivating all of the plugins, and trying to find someone who knows what is wrong. I’m new to buddypress so I’m not sure what to really do.

Hi @wpmirwin, this part of code above is from buddypress Notifcation manager plugin.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-notifications-manager/
mybe this plugin can help you.

this function hide the notifications subnav, and it should work in bp 1.5 and bp 1.6

function bp_hide_notifications_subnav(){
global $bp;
bp_core_remove_subnav_item($bp->settings->slug, ‘notifications’);

if ( bp_use_wp_admin_bar() ) {
add_action( ‘wp_before_admin_bar_render’, create_function(
”, ‘global $bp, $wp_admin_bar; $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( “my-account-settings-notifications” );’ ) );
}
}

//if is not bp 1.5
if ( version_compare( BP_VERSION, ‘1.5’ ) < 0 )
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_hide_notifications_subnav’);
else
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_hide_notifications_subnav’ );

Cpanel sometimes has gitches or may be getting updated and causing your problem. Give it a little time and then create the email in cpanel when your successful then the emails should send except to AOL. They filter most stuff from php mail so I would use several email test accounts from various providers.

Some servers require for any php outgoing mail that you create a mail account on the server itself depending on your host. Cpanel did on my host and maybe that could be the issue.

@buddyok – Sites can be created here:

@buddyok BuddyPress does not limit the number of member-created blogs. Check if you have any BP/WP plugins that restrict blog creation in your plugins or mu-plugins folder or in special BP file bp-custom.php in wp-content/plugins.

Star date ript247 “Still cant create new accounts” Deactivated all plugins not a plugin issue. Narrowed it down to buddypress installation in itself. How can/do I resolve this problem?

The simplest approach may be to surpress the “click here to activate your account” emails, and use something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/ to manually activate them.

If you’ve added more BuddyPress profile fields, then it shouldn’t matter *how* a user account was created — they should appear for editing in the user’s profile.

== how can I allow user to create account through my registration page.? ==

@mechnoflux enable registration in Settings > General on single WP site

== also how to connect forum directly to buddy press page? ==

Which forum are you referring to, the Group Forums (custom bbPress in BP) or Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin)?

== “Multiple WP networks can be created with either: WP Multi Network or Networks+” ==

@jasonewillis WP MultiNetwork or Networks+ goes beyond multisite. It means each subsite in your multisite can become a network with subsites of its own. Both would require IMHO dedicated server and would choke a shared hosting account especially if you’re considering on adding BP on each network. If you’re going to upgrade your server, then yes, paying for Network+ is worth it. The plugin developer is active in the community.

Multisite with subdomain structure example
– example.com (main site)
– subsite1.example.com
– subsite2.example.com
– subsite3.example.com
– subsite4.example.com

WP MultiNetwork and Networks+ for example
– example.com (main site of all)

---

subsite1.example.com (main site of this network)
– subsite1.example.com/subsite1
– subsite1.example.com/subsite2
– subsite1.example.com/subsite3

---

subsite2.example.com (main site of this network)
– subsite2.example.com/subsite1
– subsite2.example.com/subsite2
– subsite2.example.com/subsite3

---

subsite3.example.com (main site of this network)
– subsite3.example.com/subsite1
– subsite3.example.com/subsite2
– subsite3.example.com/subsite3

---

subsite4.example.com (main site of this network)
– subsite4.example.com/subsite1
– subsite4.example.com/subsite2
– subsite4.example.com/subsite3

Yes, WooCommerce works fine alongside BuddyPress. We use it on http://www.enterprisenation.com/shop

WooCommerce provides a fairly rich API with lots of actions you can hook onto — so, provided you are a developer, you can also mould a tight integration with BuddyPress.

Themekraft produce a plugin that integrates the WooCommerce account / profile screens with BuddyPress’s profile screen — we find there are some issues with the UX this creates though. If you google this forum, there was a recent thread discussing this.

== Yes it work with the admins but for other user account type the plugin didn’t allow them to create a group. ==

For group creation In BuddyPress at this time, it’s either Admin or “others” – the users/members – that’s it. So there’s no conflict when only the Admin can create groups if you uncheck “Enable group creation for all users.”

Are you using the bp-default theme? If you are, are you using a customized homepage template?

Try disabling all your plugins except BuddyPress and see if you are able to see the register link afterwards.

Hey @docilecraft

Please link us to your install. What version of WP/BP are you running and with what plugins?
Cheers,
Aron

@shawn38 Yes I agree to a point. It depends greatly on traffic, plugins, etc. But, it seems from what he wrote he is beyond that point. It is technically possible to run on a shared sever, but if your goal is to create a popular site you will need to switch to dedicated at some point. That point is different for everyone, but everyone that uses BP should be prepared to make that move at some point and it can come faster than you think. It’s my personal opinion that you should start out dedicated if possible so you don’t have to deal with the pain of moving later. You should at the very least find a shared host that allows for easy expansion.

PS
Hostmonster and Bluehost should never be used. I’m sure there are more to add to that list, but those I have confirmed will throttle you regardless of users or plugins.

Options:

Create a new user then give that user admin privileges and then delete the admin account This may delete the content associated with the deleted account.

Edit database directly. Links may get broken.
