Can your site send normal WP admin emails?
Try creating a user in wp-admin – did it send you an email?

My 10c worth – it also may be that your database is corrupted – perhaps a plugin that hasn’t tidied up correctly.
I suggested earlier that you revert to a previously backed up database (ideally from a known working version) and system.
If you are not able to do this – as @hnla suggests, you should look at hiring a developer who’ll be able to look directly at your database and files, and dedicate the time you need to find a fix.
I need real help to get this running…
any suggestions how I can change the settings so people that register get the register email and can use buddypress
users that I create as a admin work but not users that register themselves
please help

@Hnla: Thanks guys.. Especially that topic solved it 
I did use the search functions and checked the conditional tags in the codex (have that bookmarked) but I could not get it to work as hoped. This should help get me started!
Solved it.. I did need to create anew page template for my activity stream because that was not picked up for some reason. My code:

I’m having a similar problem. When I register a new user it doesn’t always recognize the avatar. Further, when you upload your own image you can crop it but then it won’t upload. It just says “Upload Failed! Error was: No file was uploaded.”
Ok, just found a number of discussions on related isues: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/avatar-problems-upload-failed-cannot-move-to-upload-folder/
and https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/avatar-upload-issues/
Hi there,
I have installed WordPress Version 3.0.1 and Buddypress Version 1.2.5.2. Everything works fine except the Avatar Crop. I can upload a Avatar and its in the profile (so it works) BUT i can´t see the crop image. I must press crop and hope it fits. What´s the problem? Please help!
you can always do if( whatsit || thisit || orthatsit ) if you can’t find one overall check
Hi Guys,
Is there a way to check if a page is NOT part of BuddyPress but a regular WordPress post or page? I’m asking because I want to replace the bp_page_title() with the regular ol’ wp_title in my theme header. I thought of doing it like this:
`
`
This works for the group component.. But instead of making a huge complicated if statement isn’t there a conditional that simply detects if something is a BuddyPress page?
Thanks in advance
Thanks, Travel-Junkie. I think you’re right. A standalone forum would probably be fine. Now, I need to figure out how to get them all to share one forum.
I already tried the most recent Buddypress Plugin with the 1.2.5.2 theme and it was still giving me the same issues, so its not the fact that I’m now trying it with 1.2.3
I did not touch the core files and neither did the developer.
Is there anything else I can try?
There has to be a way to pin point why it isnt working on the Activity Page?
I have this problem too. However, I can’t see where to set-up user registration in the BP admin section – these are the options I have under General Settings –
Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?: Yes No
Hide admin bar for logged out users?: Yes No
Disable avatar uploads? (Gravatars will still work): Yes No
Disable user account deletion?: Yes No
Disable global forum directory?: Yes No
Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?:
@bionicclick what is out of date about it – if it works fine on the latest WP/BP? can you report the bugs to me? -> https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/
@bojanski,
Here is the code you are looking for, you’ll find it under /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/activity/index.php around line 22. This is presuming you have created a child theme based on the default BP theme.
<li class="selected" id="activity-all"><a href="" title=""></a></li>
Remove that code and you should be good to go.
Yes, uploading local media would have seemed like the logical first step – before building support for external providers.
I suspect though, that it all comes down to the lack of support for media uploads in core BuddyPress.
I’m curious why the standard WordPress core media uploads / gallery handling / thumb-nailing etc. haven’t been integrated with the BuddyPress member profiles. Is there something fundamental that stops those existing routines from being utilised and mapped to profiles instead of posts? I feel that in this area, 3rd party plugins are unnecessarily re-inventing the wheel.
With BP Gallery by @sbrajesh, you can enable/disable uploads from Activity stream update. You will also be then asked to associate that photo to album/s you have already created. In addition, when you create a user or a group album (if you enable it), you have the option of publishing 5 images or so to your activity stream or the group’s activity stream.
Hello,
I’ve just installed Buddypress, I’m in my learning period of this plugin…
How the user of my site can sign-up to have an account ? I see only the btton “Log In”, but no “register” or Sign Up”
Thank you !
Ray’s oembed plugin will let you achieve something similar – store your videos / photos on a supported 3rd party and use the urls in your update: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/oembed-for-buddypress/home/
Example:
In facebook you can attach video & photo Files in your wall, is this also possible in Buddypress?
Any news about the bridge ?
1) Will BuddyPress enable my members to have their own central dashboard (like Kajabi) where they can see all the comments/questions they’ve left on my membership site, and all the answers to their questions that others have left for them?
Thanks very much.
Steve
