BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress does not come with this as a feature, so BP would not have the code to check for required fields and enforce them in the group. How did you create the fields?

Sounds like its located in plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile.

This is not a file you can edit directly as it would be over-written with any plugin updates.

Instead you will need to perform a template overload:

https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

Try wrapping your call to bp_is_active() in a function hooked to something like wp.

For example:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    // Call bp_is_active() here
} );

You need to do this because it’s likely your plugin is loaded before BuddyPress, hence the bp_is_active() function isn’t defined at that point.

I can replicate your issue, yet I use the same line in my own plugins without error. The only difference is that I look for bp from within a function and I’m thinking this may be the issue, basically wp thinks bp is not active when you are in the plugins page.

Try wrapping your query in a function tied into your buddypress task.

Hi there-

There’s a known issue with outlook/hotmail emails being rejected:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7697#comment:7

A fix is forthcoming (but there’s no timetable for that update).

Ha, that’s because there was an extra semi-colon. Try this:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
	if ( bp_is_profile() ) {
		$user_meta = get_userdata( bp_displayed_user_id() );

		if ( in_array( 'subscriber', $user_meta->roles ) ) {
			wp_redirect( home_url() );
			exit;
		}
	}
}, 1 );

What I was saying about roles is that WordPress handles roles. BuddyPress doesn’t create or really use them that much.

BuddyPress does not implement a minimum age, would this be a feature of your theme?

You could put it in here:

https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-custom-php/

@oliverrealize You can download from https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/trunk/buddypress.pot

@nebuchadnezzar no need to modify anything inside BuddyPress core files, You have to modify template files inside your child theme.

Copy BuddyPress folder from your parent theme and paste them into the child theme and modify inside child theme at following path

buddypress/members/register.php or
buddypress/registration/register.php

You can check following for reference

Template Hierarchy

duplicate thread https://buddypress.org/support/topic/new-user-login-not-working/

You can use your developer to create a widget to create a contact form using displayed user id email as a receiver. For reference, you can check https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/playing-with-the-users-id-in-different-contexts/

The $bp Global

That depends on where you’re using it. You could use a bp_signup_validate filter to check that a username has certain characteristics. But for profile fields or other places, you’d have to enforce it some other way.

Here’s an example of how you might disalloe long usernames:

add_action('bp_signup_validate', function() {
	if ( isset( $_POST[ 'signup_username' ] ) && strlen( $_POST[ 'signup_username' ] ) > 60 ) {
		$bp = buddypress();
		$bp->signup->errors['signup_username'] = 'Geez, your username is really long.';
	}
} );

Here’s another report of this with a suggested fix: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7704

You might looks at adding an email using the BuddyPress email system: https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/custom-emails/

Maybe you could use friend relationships for this. If the “friend” terminology doesn’t make sense for your use, there is a plugin that creates one-way relationships called “follows” https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-followers/

If you are asking about bbPress, try the bbPress forum.

If you’re asking about removing the BuddyPress email verification step for new accounts, there are several plugins that do that:

BP Disable Activation Reloaded

BuddyPress Auto Activate Auto Login

It looks like your buddypress/members/register.php file is based on an old version of the template (that had the field description hardcoded in the template). You’ll need to remove this line:
<p class="description"><?php bp_the_profile_field_description(); ?></p>

in that file.
