Hello techies,
Please am having a bit of issue with Buddypress registration. Once a new user registers, upon successful completion, the system generates an update saying “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”. but i didn’t get the activation email in my box.
I repeat the process severally with different email accounts but i still don’t get the activation mail but the users are listed on the wp-admin dashboard. please could there be something am getting wrong? kindly advise…
Here’s the site: “http://www.anarola.com/register” you can test as well.
Regard
-Samuel

Did you not read this comment made by mercime
There are a variety of reasons why registration won’t work for some installations with different/similar configurations. Help us help you by creating a new topic of your own and providing us more information about your installations – single WP/WPMS, theme used, plugins used, etc. or did you check if registration process is working in your WP install if BuddyPress is deactivated?
Please start a new thread and be sure to provide the detail asked for otherwise it’s really not possible to help much at all.

I am facing the same problem…Please anyone solve this problem….
I am facing the same problem.Users can’t register .When they submit the registration page it reloads with the password field empty….Please check the issue….
I’m trying to retrieve a specific Members Loop page at BuddyPress with members who chose Yes on a specific Radio Button (which has Yes/No options).
For this, I created an specific Template page at my theme. Found some old topics here on forums and managed to get this code. Unfortunately, my code (below) isn’t working and I came to a dead end. Can anyone help me?
<?php
$attend_value = "Yes";
$db_query = "SELECT user_id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 13 AND value = \"" .$attend_value ."\"";
$match_ids = $wpdb->get_col($db_query);
$get_these_members = 'include=' .$match_ids;
?>
<?php if ( bp_has_members( $get_these_members ) ) : ?>
I receive a “Sorry, no members were found.” even if the field id’s and values from the database are correct. What should be happening?
Sorry I didn’t include the code for that. Yes, it is in the wp functions.php file, but it is relevant to bp theme. Here is the full function that line 100 is found in. Line 100 is the third to last, which starts with “add action”.
/**
* Sets up theme defaults and registers support for various WordPress and BuddyPress features.
*
* Note that this function is hooked into the after_setup_theme hook, which runs
* before the init hook. The init hook is too late for some features, such as indicating
* support post thumbnails.
*
* To override bp_dtheme_setup() in a child theme, add your own bp_dtheme_setup to your child theme's
* functions.php file.
*
* @global BuddyPress $bp The one true BuddyPress instance
* @since BuddyPress (1.5)
*/
function bp_dtheme_setup() {
// Load the AJAX functions for the theme
require( get_template_directory() . '/_inc/ajax.php' );
// This theme styles the visual editor with editor-style.css to match the theme style.
add_editor_style();
// This theme comes with all the BuddyPress goodies
add_theme_support( 'buddypress' );
// This theme uses post thumbnails
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
// Add default posts and comments RSS feed links to head

endif;
if ( !function_exists( 'bp_dtheme_enqueue_scripts' ) ) :
In the first install the failed bp had been installed and working for a few days. It suddenly gave errors when I edited a css color code on line 1211 in this file and uploaded it to the server by ftp. Yeah, I know you might say I made a mistake, but I know I did it correctly. And they you might say the file got corrupted in transfer, except that the second install on godaddy had no such changes or transfers and in short order – less than an hour of use with no other plugins or style changes – gave the same final error for line 100 when I changed my public name in the buddypress members listing, at which point neither the front nor back ends were accessible.
Looking forward to your insights.
Closing as topic was 12 months old prior to your reply.
This isn’t really a BuddyPress specific problem. You’ve activated a plugin or theme that doesn’t work, and it’s causing these errors.
Reinstall WordPress, then BuddyPress. Use a default WordPress theme. Everything will be fine. Reactive plugins one-by-one until the error comes back. You’ve figured out what plugin(s) are misbehaving, so deactivate and delete them. Then try switching back to your theme, and seeing if it all still works.
Hint: from your logs, the “BP Group Extras” plugin is causing problems, so get rid of that.
BP Courseware hasn’t been updated in almost a year, and I’m pretty sure that the plugin’s developer isn’t working on the WP plugin any more. The error’s probably caused by some forum changes that happened in BP at least a year ago.
Hi
I have done basic trouble shooting on my site for activation key email link not working -“invalid activation key” error.
I have no plugins installed but buddypress and standard theme.
Can you please give me some ideas as to what to do?
The Mystery Man image is selected in Settings > Discussion.
What is happening is that Buddypress is assigning a new user id # to new members but the folder for that user id # still exists so they are inheriting an old image avatar. When they go to upload their avatar for the first time the old deleted profile image appears instead of the Mystery Man image.
I suppose a quick fix is to FTP into the wp-content/uploads/avatars folder and delete out any of the deleted user folders so that this doesn’t happen.
I would think that Buddypress would delete these old avatar image folders when users or admin decide to delete a profile. When plugins are deleted the folders are deleted from the server so I am not sure why the avatar files should be any different.
Nevermind, I figured it out!
I created a buddypress.php file AND a bbpress.php file and uploaded them to my theme directory.
I created these files as copies from my page-template-full-width.php file.
Thank you so much for the help!
ok I managed to do this using the buddypress import members plugin http://www.youngtechleads.com/buddypress-members-import/ (17$) and adding the field “last_activity” with a value of i.e. “2013-09-21 22:06:14” (could be any date I’m sure)
Good plugin for importing users in general!
If you are not using the buddypress default theme this error is not an issue. To get it to go away you can drop a blank adminbar.css file into the location on the error log and the error will go away.
Of course if you upgrade Buddypress you will have to do this again but it is a temporary fix to get the error off your radar.
Alright so I did what I described as above, and the full-width pages now work on all of my Buddypress pages, BESIDES my Forums page.
Forums (NOT OK): http://shredlounge.com/forums/
Groups (OK): http://shredlounge.com/groups/
Members (OK): http://shredlounge.com/members/
Activity (OK): http://shredlounge.com/activity
Is there some .css I need to edit for this? Thanks again for all your help!
Does that buddypress.php file go in the same directory as the page-template-full-width.php file?
Aka, wp-content/themes/detube/buddypress.php ?
Hello everyone! I need to add additional information to members page, which engine will pick up from the user’s profile. Something like this:

i have Buddypress 1.8.1 installed.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I am using buddypress with the bp-default theme and the bp widget child theme. I would like to decrease the size of the page content container. I would like the “white area” to be smaller. And I would like that to be the case on the whole site. Any ideas how I can do that!

Hello all.
I´m having serious problem with the sub menu choices in the admin bar. When logged in, you see the “Howdy, *username*” and when you click it, a drop down appears with several menu choices such as “Activity”, “Groups” and so forth. None of this menu choices work on my Android phone, the drop down simply disappears and my profile page is loaded instead. How can i get this to work with mobile phones? You are all welcome to register in order to see this menu.
Wordpress 3.6.1
Buddypress 1.8.1
Theme Twenty Twelve
Website http://craftersu.com/
I’ve gone in and removed all other plugins and used the default theme, but I still have the same problem.
I tried some of the solutions on the link below, but none of them worked:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/group-creation-error-are-you-sure-you-want-to-do-this
super simple. If your theme has a full width page template just copy it and rename it buddypress.php
