BuddyPress.org

Thanks for your reply kizzywizzy! I’ve added this code to the functions.php file but this adds some of the user data to the users activation email which is not what I want. Like this:

`WP_User::__set_state(array(
‘data’ =>
stdClass::__set_state(array(
‘ID’ => ‘827’,
‘user_login’ => ‘user’,
‘user_pass’ => ‘password’,
‘user_nicename’ => ‘stefanlesik’,
‘user_email’ => ’email’,
‘user_url’ => ”,
‘user_registered’ => ‘2013-02-18 17:05:46’,
‘user_activation_key’ => ”,
‘user_status’ => ‘0’,
‘display_name’ => ‘user’,
)),
‘ID’ => 827,
‘caps’ =>
array (
‘subscriber’ => true,
),
‘cap_key’ => ‘wp_capabilities’,
‘roles’ =>
array (
0 => ‘subscriber’,
),
‘allcaps’ =>
array (
‘read’ => true,
‘level_0’ => true,
‘subscriber’ => true,
),
‘filter’ => NULL,
))`

I’d like to display the all the xprofile data in the new user registration email that admin receives. Is this possible?

how to modify the admin bar

@ebizdude That’s too wide an area to cover. What specifically do you want to change in the admin bar?
– If it’s WordPress-related, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
– If it’s related to BuddyPress links to profile menus https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

also when people registerting the activation email is not coming. how does one recticfy that

You have to find out through some tests whether email is not being sent from your installation or whether the email just goes to user’s spam folder.

@mindyjoy do you have access to the database, eg through your Control Panel and phpMyAdmin?

It might help to look in there to see what is going on.

In the wp_users table there is a ‘user_status’ column. I don’t think WordPress uses it but BuddyPress does and so do these plugins (I believe). Active Users are ‘0’ unactivated are ‘2’.

There is a ‘user_activation_key’ column but I think the relevant keys are found in the wp_usermeta table. Search the ‘meta_key’ column in that table for ‘activation_key’ and the keys will appear in the ‘meta_value’ column.

Hopefully those tables should tally with what is shown by the plugins. Or else you could email your users with the keys…

@stobywan I’ve closed https://buddypress.org/support/topic/registration-not-working-5/ I have answered you here but you did not respond. Per that topic, registration stopped working after you upgraded to BP 1.6.4.

Please explain exactly what the bottleneck is for your registration.
– Can registrant complete registration process in your site?
– Is your installation sending activation emails or not?
– Is the registrant receiving the activation email or not?

@resom That’s right.

Have those who have not “received” activation emails checked their spam folders? Unfortunately, that happens even without BP activated.

I think the problem is that they never get a sent an email with their account details (username and password) when they join.

You mean they don’t receive an activation email? They should already know what their username and password is because that’s required when you register.

Have you checked whether it’s your site that’s not sending the activation email or whether it’s their email service provider (gmail,yahoo,hotmail,aol,etc) that’s blocking your email and/or sending it to user’s spam folder?

Does anyone have a solution for this? I am facing the same problem. Some new users are not receiving the activation email. It is not going to their spam folders. I estimate about every 5th user does not get the email. I can tell who doesn’t receive the email because their Forum Role is blank. Is there a way to generate and re-send the activation email, or manually activate these users? Thank you.

I had the same issue and I want to share here what I did to make activation emails reach the inbox (especially in Gmail):
– added SPF and DKIM DNS records in order to certify that the e-mails are legitimate, especially if your host uses a third party service to send them, or they get sent from a different domain
– changed the default “from” e-mail address and “from name” fields using a plugin. I used WP-Mail-SMTP plugin that also allows me to use my own e-mail address (like a google apps one), but there are plenty others that you could use

After these steps the e-mails were still being marked as spam by Gmail and the only thing left was to edit the activation e-mail content itslef. Thank you Paul for adding the option in Welcome Pack plugin. I enabled “Customise the emails sent by BuddyPress, either in plain text or rich HTML versions.” I then edited the content and subject by adding more text and there it was, activation e-mail wasn’t marked as spam anymore.

I hope this helps someone else as I spent quite some time making it work 🙂

people who have registered but never clicked their activation links in the generated emails would be the people who only show up in the backend not sure if it has anything to do with wanguard probably best to test the registration process yourself to determine if an actual issue exists (both with and without that plugin activated). if an issue does exist with their plugin, they would best to ask about it, i would think.

you may want to look into s2 member i think it can handle everything you are trying to achieve also i don’t think you should be so concerned about the buddypress activation process as opposed to the wordpress activation for security reasons i believe if anything the buddypress slightly more secure but for the most part i think they’re the exact same thing (other then the additional default email verification step for buddypress) in fact if someone registers for your site but fails to activate they will be a regular wordpress user and not listed with your other buddypress members.

Recently we have updated to the new BuddyPress 1.6.2. Ever since the upgrade, the confirmation email is not going out to members attempting to register as new members. Our site is http://rotarymeansbusiness.com/. We now see that others are having this problem. We did not have this problem before the upgrade. We also use the plugin “Buddypress Pending Activations.

Please advise,

Wayne Rowlands

just wondering do you get any emails that wp generates or are the activation emails the only ones not being sent?
