Topic: Registration woes
Hello,
I have just installed Buddypress on a test site of mine. I have the “allow registration” checked. However, registration is not working as people (those who are helping me test the site) have signed up but have not received their activation e-mails.
I installed wp-mail from and have set the SMTP settings. I was able to register 1 test-user successfully but the rest are not receiving their activation emails.
I am not using WPMU.

Any help I could get would be much appreciated. I am running this on a VPS.
TIA!

Hello. I’m not sure my question belongs on this section of the forum, but I could not find an appropriate one, so I’ll just ask away here.
My site averages 15k visitors per day and I want to install buddypress to give my readers a better way to communicate among themselves without having to rely on the comment system only.
I’ve been reading a lot on buddypress and one thing that I’m concerned for is that it uses lots of resources. I can’t afford a dedicated server, my site doesn’t bring in the kind of money that enables me to migrate to one. So my question is this, would it be possible to run buddypress with an existing wordpress blog that gets 15k visitors per day on a VPS?
Based on what I’ve read so far it’s probably a long shot, but I thought I’d ask the more experienced users. Thank you for your time.
Hey there.
I’m using s2Member custom registration fields, and integrating it with the BuddyPress registration form. Set ‘Display Name’ during registration is set to ‘yes, display as username.’
My problem is this: BuddyPress and s2Member both have registration fields for ‘username.’ I was wondering if I could somehow disable BP’s username-field, to avoid confusing my users.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m using a custom child theme based on the default Buddypress theme. This code in functions.php for the default Buddypress theme is giving me some trouble:
` // Add custom header support if allowed
/* if ( !defined( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’ ) ) {
define( ‘HEADER_TEXTCOLOR’, ‘FFFFFF’ );// The height and width of your custom header. You can hook into the theme’s own filters to change these values.
// Add a filter to bp_dtheme_header_image_width and bp_dtheme_header_image_height to change these values.
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH’, apply_filters( ‘bp_dtheme_header_image_width’, 1250 ) );
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, apply_filters( ‘bp_dtheme_header_image_height’, 133 ) );// We’ll be using post thumbnails for custom header images on posts and pages. We want them to be 1250 pixels wide by 133 pixels tall.
// Larger images will be auto-cropped to fit, smaller ones will be ignored.
set_post_thumbnail_size( HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH, HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT, true );// Add a way for the custom header to be styled in the admin panel that controls custom headers.
add_custom_image_header( ‘bp_dtheme_header_style’, ‘bp_dtheme_admin_header_style’ );
} */`Because of this, whenever I create a post with a gallery in it, then select an image as the featured image, the image appears in my theme header. I don’t want this to happen.
I’ve found I can fix the problem by editing out this code in functions.php. But obviously this is not a long-term solution.
Ideally I need to add some code to the functions.php in my custom theme to disable it. But, despite having tried a few likely-looking solutions I found in the forum, nothing so far has worked.
Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?
Topic: Registration not working
I have BP 1.5 on a single site on wp 3.2.1. I am using a child theme of bp-default and have been able to register through /register with no problems until yesterday. Now the form clears and /register reloads without the form loading – no users are added to the database and the email is not sent. I can still add users through the admin panel. To troubleshoot I have disabled all plugins except buddypress and activated bp-default, and registration still does not work. I have also deactivated and deleted buddypress, downloaded a new zip, uploaded and reactivated. I have cleared caches and tried via different machines – no change. What else can I try please?
