BuddyPress.org

UPDATE:
I deleted all BP files and the plugin and did a reinstall.

PROBLEM #1)
I am still having trouble with the Register page. I do not know what this error refers to:

displays an error message:
“Profile Details
Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas09_data01/28/2853428/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-group.php on line 649”

Line 649 is:
$fields[ $key ]->visibility_level = $field_visibility;

PROBLEM #2)
Registration submission is now working, but an auto response email is being sent. Is there something in BuddyPress (or WordPress) to disable this? I’m getting an email saying:
Hi test4,
Thanks for registering!

To complete the activation of your account, go to the following link: http://blahblahblah.com/activate/ef23a0f24958c3a125917f7e3bac95f8/

I’m using s2Member to allow admin approval of registrations. This email needs to be removed. Thx.

at normal wp-admin / registration it works but only while trying to register via buddypress its not working ie no email for user registration and even activation also.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for responding.

To answer your questions:

* How were you customising your activation emails?
-I was changing lines in the .pot file in PoEdit and generated a new .mo file in order to personalise the activation mail a bit more. (No core files were adjusted or changed)
-I made a change in the buddypress.min.css file

* Is your site sending other emails correctly, or are all emails broken? Can you test to be sure?
I have only sent out activation emails up to this point. To test your question, I have manually added myself as a user and activated the account. Then, I send a confirmation email which it DID send, only the sender was WordPress instead of my site name.

* Are you running WordPress multisite, or regular WordPress?
Regular WP. No multisite

* Do you run any plugins that change wp_mail or affect how emails are delivered? For example, any plugins that send email via Mailchimp, etc?
Not to my knowledge. I am currently running these plugins:

– BuddyPress
– Child Theme Configurator
– Jquery Updater
– Members
– Page Excerpt Widget
– Rating Widget
– User Submitted Posts

All of them were running as well yesterday when it still worked.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Inge.

I’m using the 7.2 theme. I’ve tested it on Twenty Fifteen and it displays again in basic format. When logged in as a new member there is a join now button at least, but the styling is still very plain compared to the documentation screenshot – no avatars or colour – as per my previous screenshot of my site.

The page is also called titled ‘Groups’ rather than ‘Groups directory’ – but i’m sure i could always change the name in WP settings.

I’ve also got a problem with Activation emails but i’ll need to create a new thread for that.

So, as far as I understand, you need to create two blank pages, one for register and one for activate, and after associating them, buddy press recreates the content. That’s done, users can register. now the problem is, they are not receiving activate emails, or emails at all after the registration, so i don’t know how to fix the activation issue I’m having.

To add more to this… i am writing the method as shown below

add_filter( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message’, ‘RECN_CUSTOM_activation_message’, 10, 3 );

function RECN_CUSTOM_activation_message( $message, $user_id, $activate_url ) {

$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
….
….

and the $user_id passed is the signup id ….while the WP_USER table does not have data for the signup id…

No @henrywright. At this point, the user has just clicked on the activation link in email.

@shanebp suggested this function. It’s working but I can’t get it to return an id that I can store in a GLOBAL variable so that I can use it somewhere else on activation page with this hook:

bp_after_activate_content

Here’s the function that @shanebp suggested.

function william_bp_core_activated_user(  $user_id, $key, $user ) {
     // do something with $user_id
     // there is no return for add_action, only add_filter
};
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'william_bp_core_activated_user', 10, 3 );

I organized testing of this function.

1. System sends emails
2. New users got this emails in their mail box
3. Then they press activation links and go on home page, not activation page.
4. Then they try to enter login/pass and system tells them – Ops, error! your account didn’t activate, please see you inbox.
5. I can see they have “registered” status, but not “activated” and i need to activate them by hands.

Therefore there is something wrong while users try to confirm their address in activation email.

Thanks @modemlooper. This is doable but will the account remain deactivated as usual? The user might justchoose to ignore the second email with activation link since they can already login. What do you say? I’d like to sort of force a user to fill the second form and I don’t want them logging in if they haven’t filled the second form.

Cool, awesome, wicked.
As with everything BuddyPress over the last four months I figured it out myself.

If anybody cares or is intrigued, I pulled out the “signup_id” from the wp_signups table and created a link with that, of the form:

<?php
	//== Setup variable for use in the activation email body.
	$user = get_userdata( $user_id );

	//== Get the signup_id for a user
	global $wpdb;
	$signup_id = $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT signup_id FROM wp_signups WHERE user_login = '" . $user->user_login . "' LIMIT 1" );

	$user_path = "users.php?page=bp-signups&signup_id=" . $signup_id . "&action=activate";
	$activate_user = admin_url( $user_path );
?>

This link is a part of the filter for the activation email body, whilst the email itself was also filtered to be sent to the site admin instead of the user.

If anybody is interested I’m happy to share the full solution which involved filtering the activation email recipient, email subject and email body, whilst giving the admin a link to activate the user and then sending a confirmation email to the user once they’ve been authorised.

Found it. This action fires when the user clicks the activate link from the activation-email.

do_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', $user_id, $key, $user );
