BuddyPress.org

Some of my users were having trouble logging in after they registered using a space in their username. This meant that the space would be changed into a dash, but this wasn’t clear to the users.

A good solution would be to include the corresponding username in the activation e-mail. I’m almost sure this can be done in the bp-members-functions.php file, but I have no idea how.

Here’s the code I think needs editing:

---

function bp_core_signup_send_validation_email( $user_id, $user_email, $key ) {

$activate_url = bp_get_activation_page() .”?key=$key”;
$activate_url = esc_url( $activate_url );

$from_name = ( ” == bp_get_option( ‘blogname’ ) ) ? __( ‘BuddyPress’, ‘buddypress’ ) : esc_html( bp_get_option( ‘blogname’ ) );

$message = sprintf( __( “Thanks for registering! To complete the activation of your account please click the following link:nn%1$snn”, ‘buddypress’ ), $activate_url );
$subject = ‘ ‘ . __( ‘Activate Your Account’, ‘buddypress’ );

// Send the message
$to = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_to’, $user_email, $user_id );
$subject = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_subject’, $subject, $user_id );
$message = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message’, $message, $user_id, $activate_url );

wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message );

do_action( ‘bp_core_sent_user_validation_email’, $subject, $message, $user_id, $user_email, $key );
}

I’m also using the ‘BuddyPress Usernames Only’ plugin, if that’s useful information.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,

I haven’t had a problem until now but a client who have already signed up is trying to activate somebody in their family and they’re saying they need a activation key. what is this?

I’m trying to change the content of the standard message sent by BP when a user registers.
Since the site search is not working properly and I have searched in vain for an answer I’m gonna post the question here.
I have started with this code added to my functions.php of my theme.
function fix_bp_activation_message($message) {
CONTENT
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_message’, ‘fix_bp_activation_message’);
What do I place in the CONTENT if I need to place the username, password and a different welcome message along with the activation link for the BP account?

For example I want it to look something like:
Username: USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
Thanks for registering! To complete the activation of your account please click the following link:
