I have just come across sub-addressing myself yeah – looks like the perfect temporary fix
My own domains email accounts don’t allow it easily but I will just create 1 gmail account per user that needs multiple accounts.
Thanks for your help guys.
If anyone could tell me how to remove the blog registration part from the mysite.com/register so that all the visitor can do at that point is to create a user account, I’d be thrilled!
Hi mlemberg, read this:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/default-to-just-a-username#post-14828
Requires hacking a core file and a little bit of CSS to hide the “Create A Blog” block.
If anyone knows a better way, let us know.
Bump!
Is there anyone who can help me?

I do not want to completely switch off the blog functionality from Buddypress. All I want is to prevent the option from occuring at the registration stage.
Please help me – it’s kinda urgent!

Oh, thank god you exist in this world
You were right…
I actually made several mistakes, that I wanted to point out, and then my final post on this topic will lead to the url to where I found out how to fix my issues.
But, thanks to TheEasyButton and John James Jacoby for their help. As it truly helped.
Also a big thanks to Trent Adams for writing up that helpful tutorial found sticky on these buddypress forums.
I had forgotten several steps
– Add the code to the bottom of the bb-config file, that TheEasyButton mentioned above.
– Disable forum discussions on new or existing group forums, and then re-enable them after they are created or working.
– Needed to be signed in to both WPMU and BBPRESS as the administrator and not the key master. I had forgotten to set up my new admin account to have admin priviledges on the bbpress side. Woops… like big woops.
There are two MAJOR things I wanted to point out.
– If you tried to intall bbpress 1.0.1 by itself as fresh install, then I kept getting a major error that said, “Could not create new forum” during installing. I had to install bbpress 1.0 first to a new SQL database, then I removed all the files from the BBPRESS folder, and then uploaded the new bbpress 1.0.1 files. Which once I installed this new version, the SQL database was already set up for bbpress, so it just treated it as updating. Someone at BBPRESS really needs to fix that, as I’m sure many people are running into that problem.
– The last thing I would like to mention, is that I didn’t really see on the tutorial article about helpful forum integration on the buddypress forums, about the cookies. I probably just missed that part, but it is very important that even when you overwrite your bbpress files, that when you over write your bb_config file, that you make sure the cookies are set and match wp_config cookies, of course with the bb_ prefix within the cookie parameters. Such as:
define( ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ );
define( ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);
define( ‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ );
define( ‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ );
define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);
define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);
define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);
define( ‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1 );
If you forget that last line, then it will definitely mess up everything too. But, the plugins placed into the right directories are the most important. This also doesn’t include that some buddy press plugins require that you move certain files from those plugins into your default buddy press theme. You also have to have a default buddy press theme in order to see everything properly too.
One more thing,
Hopefully, one day, someone will create an easier way to do all of this. Everything is so scattered all over the place, and right now, it can take a newbie several hours to get everything set up the way it is suppose to be. So, hopefully, somebody might create a program or something that will just automatically do everything for you or done through a central area at least.
Thanks again for the help,
my problem is solved.
There are several commercial plugins that create membership levels. You’d probably need custom code to connect the levels to the functionality you describe.
If you figure it out, let me know.
Or contact me if you want to pool resources.
Everyone is always very quick to advertise the benefits of a single-sign on service, or a go-between to allow users to sign into your website using any number of different credentials, but there are a few major flaws with this idea, and they are going to become extremely apparent very soon.
The first MAJOR flaw I see in this design, is that all it takes is one website to put up password stealing/sniffing code, and now you’ve given your twitter password to anyone with access to the sites malicious intentions.
The second MAJOR flaw I see from a developers standpoint is that you as a site administrator no longer have control over the user data that is using your website. This means tracking down a problem user that creates an account with their facebook, you ban them, their google, you ban them, their open_id, you ban them, etc… That, along with the fact that these user registrations tend to add their own cryptic names into your database fields; now you’re forced to try to know who “fb8288373” really is, when had they registered the normal way, you could see they are “johnjamesjacoby.”
From a user perspective, I don’t plan on using Facebook for the rest of my life, so when I delete my account in a few years, that means I can no longer use your site without creating a new profile.
Also, if I’m logged into facebook on my computer, and close facebook, and then my girlfriend walks over to a site and clicks on facebook connect and continue, it logs her in as me because I am still logged into facebook. Now I’ve registered at a website that I didn’t want to register at, and I have no way to delete that account, and who knows what kind of information they’ve decided to store about me by this point…
Quite frankly, I can’t wait for this trend to die. It’s a headache waiting to turn into a brain tumor in my opinion.
Nope
Here’s where things stand:– created (3) blogs. They hae IDs 1, 4 and 5. ID1 is the default blog and works perfectly, with Admin listed as the User.
ID4 was created with a User account. However, when I click on “Visit” from Site Admin…Blogs, I get the following:
Fobidden
You don’t have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidder error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle this request.
Never saw that before
Hey all, sorry to bump and old thread, but it’s related, I promise
I’ve installed reCAPTCHA in the plugins folder, and it works brilliantly for comments. (For that matter so does wmpu-captcha in the mu-plugins folder) But neither seem to work on the registration page.
Working – http://thompsonjason.org/2009/04/11/hello-world/#comments
Not Working – http://thompsonjason.org/register
Is there a bit of code that I should be inserting into my registration page to make reCAPTCHA show up. I’ve been getting a lot of spam accounts being created lately, so I really need to get this going before we can launch the site. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sorry for not being clear!
What I mean by “deep integration” is calling WordPress into bbPress. You can do this by doing what Necati above you said. Then you can just follow the steps I have listed above.
Thanks for posting that for everyone! My instructions weren’t the clearest!

[EDIT]
I decided to post the full code again for clarity’s sake.
On line 2 in bb-config.php (located in your bbPress forum install), add this:
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-blog-header.php');Now, add this to your bbPress theme’s functions.php (if you do not have a functions.php file in your bbPress theme folder, create one!)
function recreate_bb_admin_bar() {
echo '<div id="wp-admin-bar">';
bp_adminbar_logo();
echo '<ul class="main-nav">';
bp_adminbar_login_menu();
bp_adminbar_account_menu();
bp_adminbar_blogs_menu();
bp_adminbar_notifications_menu();
bp_adminbar_authors_menu();
bp_adminbar_random_menu();
echo '</ul></div>';
}
add_action('bb_foot', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar');
add_action('bb_admin_footer', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar');
add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );
add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );I also made one last change to the function because it wasn’t XHTML validating before! See if you can spot the change
I am using Buddypress 1.01 width Wpmu 2.7.1 and managed to get the adminbar working great without even touching Buddypress core.
All i actually did was to make sure I had :
require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');in my bb-config.php-file, and after that i just simply added r-a-y’s code to my bb-theme functions.php file. :
function recreate_bb_admin_bar() {echo '<div id="wp-admin-bar"><ul class="main-nav">';
bp_adminbar_logo();
bp_adminbar_login_menu();
bp_adminbar_account_menu();
bp_adminbar_blogs_menu();
bp_adminbar_notifications_menu();
bp_adminbar_authors_menu();
bp_adminbar_random_menu();
echo '</div>';
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar', 8 );
add_action( 'admin_footer', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar' );
add_action( 'wp_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );
Works just perfect. I can’t really see any need for a plugin to do this, but I guess there’s always someone who don’t manage without them.
