Hi,

the logout link is redirected to the same page. If you’re on your profile notifications screen, which is only intended for you, it is normal that when you logout from there, you’re redirected to a page not found message. Notifications is even private and not public.

The solution is to redirect to an always public part of the site on logout.

Add this snippet to child-theme’s functions.php

//* Redirect WordPress Logout to Home Page
add_action( 'wp_logout', create_function( '', 'wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit();' ) );

Advice 1: use preferably the login widget, so the user stays on the same page where he attempt to login instead to be redirected to that boring wp-login page.

Advice 2: on the Home (which is the member directory), you have all BP pages listed at the bottom. Remove them ! You certainly don’t need to give access to account activation or register page to your visitors…

I’m working through this same issue and followed @danbp coding suggestions and have two problems.

1) Even though checkbox is required, I can still create accounts without checking it.

2) clicking the link on it causes a black float box to pop up, with two different lines of text. The first says “click this link” and the second says “Online Privacy Statement”.

Click this link is linked to my “about us” page. How and why this is happening I have no idea. I certainly didn’t type this in anywhere.

The “online Privacy Statement” links to my Privacy Statement, but I don’t call it “online privacy statement”, so where do those words come from?

I’m running WP 4.6 and BP 2.6.2.

What I typed is this:

By checking this box you agree with our <a href='https://my-website.com/user-agreement'>terms</a>

Requirement is “Required” and Visibility is “only me” and it’s enforced.

When I click “Save”, the text I typed is changed to:

By checking this box you agree with our terms

Requirement stays OK, but the Visibility resets to “everyone” and isn’t enforced. See all those backslashes? A new pair (front & back of URL) are added every time I click the save button. You can see I clicked it a lot!

Am I doing something wrong?

Annoying to work on a site where you’re not allowed to access the child-theme!
As you can see in index.php, there is no action hook for these buttons.

The only other way i know is a dirty trick using directly gettext.
Add this to bp-custom.php

function abcd_gettext( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {

    if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
           return $translated;

    switch ( $original_text ) {
        case 'All Members %s':
            return 'All Buddies %s';

		case 'My Friends %s':
            return 'My Amigos %s';

        default:
            return $translated;
    }
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'abcd_gettext', 10, 3 );

More about that trick here:

if there are 2 separate email ids you can create 2 separate accounts thats not an issue at all. WP doesnt allow 2 separate accounts with the same email id.

what djpaul suggested was can u visit http://drummershirts.net/community/register/ this URL and see if it works or not?

i jsut went to that URL mentioned above and i was able to create an account

You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.

@danbp Thanks for the additional link! Totally my fault, I read everything in the thread, but I didn’t realize the pot files can’t be search on OSX. I was searching my WP installation for “Create ab Account” and since the pot file didn’t show up, I thought it was moved somewhere else.

I’m curious about that second link you gave though, the “Hide All Members Tag” one. I’m not great at hooks/filters yet, just started trying to experiment with them a few weeks ago. If you wouldn’t mind, how could I modify the mlao_gettext function you created to change the “Create an Account” text to something else? No worries if you don’t have time. Cheers!

I am curious how to achieve this as well with the current version of BuddyPress (2.5.3).

I can see that the “Create an Account” title in on line 3070 of bp-core-template.php

How could I change this to “Register” through a hook/filter in functions.php or bp-custom.php?

@gettingdownunder,

i’m unable to reproduce your issue. I installed WPJM on my test site(latest BP & bbP, 3rd party theme), activate it and used default settings before saving. Worked like a charm, out of the box !

The plugin created 3 pages, which i added to my theme. 1 as menu item, the 2 other as sub-menu. If you get a 404 on preview, the page

For the settings, i disallowed account creation. Visitors must be site members to publish a job. Visitors should also not be able to publish when they’re not logged in.

Check you have the tree pages, and disallow any thing related to account inside the plugin settings and see what goes on.

Perhaps you trashed some pages and they are still in trash. Clear it. Pages must be unique.

@maganiza,

it’s possible. I suppose you need a unique code for some later user specific actions. But that code exist nowhere when a user register. What can we do ?

1) generate a 6 digit code and show it on the register page
2) asign that code to the user
3) show the code on his profile

1 – we use php mt_rand to generate the code and one of the available action hook on the register page for his output. Add this snippet to bp-custom.php

function bpfr_digit_generator() {
$num = mt_rand ( 0, 0xffffff ); 
$output = sprintf ( "%06x" , $num );
 
	echo '<strong>Your personnal code: '. $output .'</strong>';

}
add_action( 'bp_after_account_details_fields', 'bpfr_digit_generator' );

2) create a new xprofile field, call it Personnal Code or whatever. Make it mandatory and asign it the visibility level you want. In field description, ask the user to copy/paste in the code.

3) as the user entered the code in a xprofile field, you get automagically this field on his profile.

I’m a bit unsure how to insert this field value in the activation email, or if it’s even possible. Perhaps somebody else can help you. See email on codex.

A bit raw, but at least you have a start point how to do that.

Here also another method, you may use if you don’t want the user to copy/paste the code.

If you’re familiar with MySQL, and know how to do this, are you able to look in your site’s wp_users and wp_signups table, and then try to create a new account, and see if you can find it in those tables?

@insearchofasolution Just thought I would chime in on this.

You would be able to do this but it depends on the approach you take, You could use buddypress for the social network side of things for the messaging between users etc and profile pages/groups etc whilst building a custom user interface for most of the other options you mentioned and tie them together for each user.

Its good you are clear about what you are exactly wanting to build and its all down to research, You can most definitely create separate vendor pages and account pages using custom post types and fields and creating templates for these pages etc.

If you don’t know how to do all of this you may struggle though, unless a specific plugin meets your requirements, I myself have been using an amazing suite of plugins over the past year or so that will help you do a lot of this yourself , they are brilliant for creating complex websites and layouts without having to write everything from scratch. You will have to have knowledge of html and css etc at the very least to use them efficiently though, they do come at a cost and you are looking at $300 for the complete set, these plugins are a little more advanced than other plugins to use as they are developer orientated and can be overwhelming at first if you are new to them, but if you stick with them you will start to realize the doors these plugins can open for you on wordpress and can help make your workflow loads faster and make your project come to life. do a search for TOOLSET PLUGINS by wp-types.

I hope this helps a little bit, creating a complex website as you mentioned above will take patience and time if you are new to doing it, I am in the middle of a few complex builds myself and to be honest with you I now pre-fare to use these plugins for most of my projects now as I can easily create any type of custom post with custom fields and display them via content templates without having to create the templates from scratch on each project.

The best thing about the custom fields you can create with these plugins is that you can create user specific fields and control access to everything with the access plugin, giving you full control over everything and you can create quite complex membership sites yourself.

Hi,

you don’t need a plugin to do that. You have perhaps omited to activate blog creation. Go to your network admin (wp-admin/network/settings.php)

and select one of these option:
– Logged in users may register new sites.
– Both sites and user accounts can be registered.

Save and you’re done.
On the Toolbar user menu (top right) you will see a new button called Sites whith a sub-menu Create a site.

I again checked and works for me. For example, I created a new user, I have asked friends from my account and sent the mail correctly. I canceled this friendship and I have asked from the new user account and has also sent the mail. I have not verified if message … but I imagine it also has to work.
