Hi, everyone,
I have similar problems with registration
1. .I can’t see my registration page anywhere.
2. When I use the http://mariamar.com/register URL, it just sends me back to the homepage.
3. I also don’t know how to place a registration link or box so visitors can register.

I see that the consistent answer here is Settings/ General.
I’ve done that. Still the problem is not solved.
INFO
I’m using WordPress 3.03 (or 4? Anyways, the one previous to 3.05) I installed BP and then used the available links to make it work with my theme, suffusion, which is the theme I use in all our blogs, as is the best one around for creating flexible widgets and highly customized design, so I don’t want to change it. I don’t know if this affects the situation. Just thought to mention this.
PLEASE HELP!
Well, I’m stuck. Have looked everywhere for a solution. I would appreciate some quick response from the very nice fellows in this forum.

Thanks,
MM

Hi,
I’m creating a plugin to integrate a new activity stream more like facebook, i tried the wire option once but i think that it didn’t do what I/we want.

I start with the buddypress demo plugin, just to understand how it works and then create my own, soo we need any kind of reference about who is writing in our activity wall and so on, that’s why i need to create a new plugin even that i see a few plugins using metadata table for a similar purpose.

I’ll try to let you know more about it. By the way, good work @modemlooper with your buddiphone

It might be physically there but clearly the path to file is not correct or at least that’s the way it looks, simple test move the file into your child theme and add an @import call to the style.css in child root.

Somewhere those ‘unrelated’ changes must have been related in some way not apparent.

If you can pull up the Apache default page then the machines network config must be correct so the issue can’t lie there can it.

This sounds more as though you haven’t configured vhost containers correctly or simply set the httpd.conf directory to that of your blog home instead of /var/www/html or /home/user/ or however Ubuntu configures things.

If you have written redirects or custom re-write rules then comment them out until you have things working ok. WordPress handles all the rewriting necessary and as long as owner/group perms are set correctly then WP will create the .htaccess and write the rules necessary to it, if not simply copy the provided example ones when you try and set permalinks.

Thanks rossagrant. This helped me too!

If you want to use a WordPress theme, you have to also install the BP Template Pack plugin.

Hi all,
I am still interested in this functionality. I find that is confusing for users that has just completed the registration find – “you’ve just completed the registration upload a picture”. They will skip it.. Only those very interested in uploading a picture will do that.

I was thinking to split the registration in 2 passes – my buddypress community is an alumni social network

– first: choose username&password page => click on next
– second: secondary information (classes, masters, phD) and picture upload.

Final page – compliments! check your mail to activate your new account.

I am using BP registration options plugin but i can’t realize this idea.
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot.

hi @modemlooper,

first of all thanks very much for all you’re doing for the bp community im crossing you as author very often when trying out plugins or themes

i wanted to have an additional sidebar on the left, so i installed and activated “Buddypress widget themes” first of all.
I didi have aditional columns, but without any function. They were not displayed when dragging any widget into it – do ihave to activate it somehow?
Now im trying BP columns which seem to work fine first but had display errors when using another plugin i use: Jet Event System – the additional columns are not shown any more when i click on the events…

– im using wp 3.04 and bp 1.2.7

best regards and thanks
roman

If you mean the files added by BP Template Pack plugin in your active theme, feel free to delete the following:

As far as I can see, MU is not a seperate project any more.. It’s integrated in the regular installation.. https://mu.wordpress.org/

I wouldn’t be worrying about the specs of the hardware, but rather the set up. If you haven’t configured a server for such an expected load before, find someone who has and hire them. I think you’ll need to be looking at things like memcached (across a couple of MySQL servers) and Batcache.

I don’t think this is caused by BuddyPress

You should check out testbp.org to see default installation from member viewpoint.

@stwc are you serious? You’ve been around here for awhile. Hooking into action is one of the easiest ways to add stuff to a theme. Wanna add ad block above activity stream? Just drop a function in BP-custom and attach to do action above stream. Almost evrything in BP has an do action before and after.

As Boone hinted in his earlier post, these hooks can be used by plugins to add functionality to Buddypress.

For example, the Buddypress Humanity plugin uses the do_action( ‘bp_before_registration_submit_buttons’) hook, also found in register.php, to add an additional field that must contain text matching a site-admin-defined value from the database to validate the registration process, and allow the signer-upper to continue to the next step.

Instances of do_action() don’t, in themselves, do anything. They are signposts (‘hooks’, in WordPress terminology) that allow other plugins to add functionality. It is thanks to such idle hooks in WordPress that BuddyPress is able to function. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API for more info about how the system works.

Grep will tell you the locations of all references to the text you provide. Generally, that will give you enough information to open up the file(s) given in the grep results and look at the specified line. I just ran the command I gave you above, and I got the following result:
`./bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php:162: `
In other words, as I suggested, this particular text is only mentioned in one place in BP – the moment where it is defined. The hook is not called by any function in BuddyPress.

Use grep. That’s what I do. From the UNIX or Mac Terminal command line, cd to your buddypress installation directory. Then:
`grep -nR ‘bp_after_signup_profile_fields’ ./`

That’ll tell you all the locations of all the instances of that text.

In the case of this particular do_action, I am pretty sure it is just there for the use of other plugins. I don’t believe it does anything in BuddyPress itself.

I’m using this plugin: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-disable-activation/. It’s free!
