Especially when multisite is installed, I always recommend that people test their WordPress thoroughly; do custom permalinks work, can you comment, can you register new sites, and so on. Usually it’s a permalink or mod_rewrite 
Have you tried the plugin “Humanity”? Also you can try to add an extra xprofile field that needs to be filled in. We validate e-mails on our site…
@crashutah – Congratulations and good luck with your ventures. btw, that’s a cool action shot with the frisbee. Question, what has BrainTree got that others don’t?
Cheers.
@smurkas I’m not sure what exactly I’m doing wrong, but I’m not able to get this to work. Currently, I’m building a multisite recipe component and I need a root page for global searching (example: http://www.example.com/recipes). I’m assuming your router should help with this but I’m not able to get it to work. Any ideas?
si-captcha doesn’t work on my sites. I’m using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-recaptcha/ and it seems to stop some of them. Still not a spam free solution.
Pretty cool. I just had a story which highlighted my 2 BuddyPress sites: http://www.lasvegasbusinesspress.com/articles/2010/08/24/news/iq_37502429.txt Not to mention a couple cool pictures of me laying out for a frisbee.
@Roger Coathup @Modemlooper
It is tabbed sidebar and issue is that all available plugins (sidebartabs and so on) at wordpress.org do not work properly in BP…some show tabs + no widgets, some widgets + no tabs.
Manually it will be too hard for me, probably, will try to follow Jalien’s advice.
thanks.
@tedmann – and changed the default text on the register page?
@tedmann have you added all the tricks mentioned? changed footer links? added referer rule to your .htaccess
I deleted the registration.php file (and have the alternate slug). Still getting slammed with spam signups and posts. Switching to the si-captcha plugin (though I suspect that won’t do anything since the spammers are bypassing the reg form). Any other ideas?
@footybible Yes, good spot by @govpatel
Of course, that file is not going to be BuddyPress aware, so won’t know about BP_REGISTER_SLUG
It’s not really a good choice for the registration / login screen for a BP site. If you are stuck working with that, rather than the standard BP login area, then you will have to hack your wp-login.php as @govpatel suggests
which one doesn’t work, s2members or the 301 redirects ?
i don’t think that will work. All the forum links point to buddypress group forums.
My main blog is not with bp default theme, but I redirected bp links to 2nd blog which is on default bp theme. So, if a plug in fetch and display bp streams on root blog, when user click that title, it will be redirect to the 2nd blog.
s2member sounds great, I will try it, thanks!
For your first problem there is no plugin available.. If you want to display activity/group/forum stream on a different blog then your main blog, you might need to make custom templates for that blog.. You also might need to have some custom code written, but I’m not sure, maybe an expert could help on that point..
What do you mean exactly with managing memberships? If you want to charge your members and offer different member types, S2Member is a great solution to look into. http://www.s2member.com.
Success! It turns out I was much closer than I thought. I had done some extensive rearranging and adding of divs to the editfield divs, and didn’t have the do_action( ‘bp_custom_profile_edit_fields’ ) in the correct place. I also used some code from @sbrajesh that he posted at http://bpdev.pastebin.com/RLreXE7X that was intended for displaying all profile fields on the profile page.
To see (and understand) what I was trying to do, you can see it at http://phrstudents.org/register/. For anyone interested in the complete code for my registration page, with all the appropriate php tags, I’ve posted it at http://pastebin.com/XA0Uii3A. Because of the multiple loops and divs I added for styling, it’s pretty long.
Essentially, for each profile field group I want to display I start each loop with:
php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_has_profile’ ) ) : if ( bp_has_profile( ‘profile_group_id=1’ ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group();
I change “( ‘profile_group_id=1’ )” to “( ‘profile_group_id=3’ )” or “( ‘profile_group_id=4’ )”, etc.
I end each loop with:
php endwhile;
php $fields_ids[]= bp_get_the_profile_group_field_ids();
php endwhile; endif; endif;
input type=”hidden” name=”signup_profile_field_ids” id=”signup_profile_field_ids” value=”php echo implode(“,”,$fields_ids); “
And somehow, it all works!
@Michael I log in fine as well with your test account @Ann @ Mission recheck your setting in Super admin –>Options
@Matt I think its the wp-login.php in your root as that is default login page.

@johnjamesjacoby – What are you thoughts on changing: bp_blogs_record_activity( ) to make use of the featured image if one has been set for the post, rather than trawling the content and thumbnailing images?
@rogercoathup Thanks for the info. I’ll try the some other forums for the other issue.
Tested diff file and it works! Another ticket closed for 1.2.6 milestone thanks to @boonebgorges
Cheers @Rogercoathup, I’ll have a look around
@footybible –
Ok, I don’t know the theme, but it looks like the designer has ‘gotten lazy’ and coded in a hard link to register.php rather than the register slug.
You’ll have to get in there and find which template file it’s using, and change the link code to the register slug. The code you’ll be inserting is something like: http://pastebin.com/4n20tpx9
Might be worth asking the theme designer to make the change.
@rogercoathup – I’m using social theme. This is the page:
http://www.footybible.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.footybible.com
The ‘register’ link, in the bottom of the box, redirects to the home page instead of ‘/getinvolved’ which is my new slug. Not a huge problem, but annoying enough to put some people off I supect.
Thanks
