BuddyPress.org

I’m bit amazed by this

enabled direct registration of new members and disabled email confirmation

As far as I know, a user registering from the front-end (managed by BuddyPress) is first receiving an email containing a secret key he needs to paste into the BuddyPress activate page to validate their account. But maybe you are using a plugin or some custom code to disable this..

Otherwise, you can achieve what you describe adding the following code snippets to a bp-custom.php file.

/**
 * Adds activities generated when a user activates their account when a user
 * is created using the wp-admin/user-new screen Add new action.
 */
function automatically_generate_an_activation_activity( $user_id = 0 ) {
	// Adds a "became a registered user" activity.
	bp_core_new_user_activity( $user_id );

	// Fake a user log in.
	bp_update_user_last_activity( $user_id );
}
add_action( 'edit_user_created_user', 'automatically_generate_an_activation_activity' );

Hi,

You should:
– check the WordPress settings allowes account to be created (Anyone can register checkbox needs to be active) See: https://wordpress.org/support/article/settings-general-screen/#membership
– check your permalink settings are using one of the pretty permalink options (not plain), see this documentation page https://wordpress.org/support/article/using-permalinks/#mod_rewrite-pretty-permalinks
– check the activate and register actions are associated with a public WordPress page. You can find some inputs about it from this documentation page : https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/#settings-buddypress-pages

NB: the registration and activation pages are only displayed to users who are not logged in, so if you try to visit these being logged in you’ll be redirected to home page. To test the pages, log out first 😉

If you permit user signup, a ‘Sign Up’ option will embark on the Confluence screens. The option will be on the log-in screen, and also in the header on public sites. People can select the option to create their own usernames on Confluence.

You can ban the signup to people whose e-mail addresses are within a given domain or domains. This is helpful if you desire to ensure that only people within your organization can add their own usernames.

You will still be ready to add or invite users manually, whether user signup is enabled or not.

You require Confluence Administrator or System Administrator permissions to change the signup options.

To set the user signup options:

Choose > User management
Select the User Signup Options tab
Choose Permit people to sign up to create their account
and followup on all other options.

Hi,

I’m having horrendous issues too from the last Buddypress update. Every single time someone creates an account with my website they receive a ‘fatal error’ message. When I manually activate a new account, I also receive a ‘fatal error’ message and an email advising that there’s a technical issue with my website. The email confirms that there’s an error with the Buddypress plugin.

For years now, when someone clicks the activation link in my emails they are no longer taken to their user dashboard (which is what used to happen), now they are taken to a screen with a pre-populated box containing an activation link. This confuses them and I end up getting an email asking why they can’t access their account.

As a user for the last 3 years I’d really appreciate some valuable feedback (and action!) on the above major issues.

Thanks,
Anita

You might have to connect buddypress with social logins like Facebook. Facebook users are people over 13 years. those are the terms and conditions when you create a facebook account

@dafonk check once with social login plugin support once which you are using to create accounts using Facebook.

I am facing the same issue, When Someone try to register all things get disappeared on clicking create account button. In my case user is getting the activation link but “check your mail” message is not being showed on front end. Please suggest any solution.

Buddypress overrides the main wordpress account creation page and the user that is created is also a wordpress user.
Do you have a link to your site?
