BuddyPress.org

I still think it’s the database that is dishing out the unique keys so it is what’s controlling the user id’s not WordPress itself. BuddyPress just uses the WordPress User Id.

There’s two immediate options – BP Better Registration includes avatar upload in the registration process and BuddyPress Force Profile Photo https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-force-profile-photo/ sets the site so users cannot access it unless they have a profile photo set.

Glad to see you again on here @mcpeanut. Do share your BuddyPress website and story behind it when it’s ready!

Have you tried disabling all other plugins except for BuddyPress?

There’s a few plugins that provide shortcodes, take a look at the BP Activity Shortcode and also Shortcodes for BuddyPress in wordpress.org.

@jonleesky I posted the solution to this nearly two years ago, I have not tested this code recently but you can try it out.

function my_disable_bp_registration() {
  remove_action( 'bp_init',    'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect' );
  remove_action( 'bp_screens', 'bp_core_screen_signup' );
}
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'my_disable_bp_registration' );

add_filter( 'bp_get_signup_page', "firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page");
    function firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page($page ){
        return bp_get_root_domain() . '/wp-signup.php'; 
    }

What you will need to do is first create a bp-custom.php file (make sure you add the opening and closing tags at the top and bottom ) and put it in your plugins folder, then paste the code between the PHP opening and closing tags and save.

This should disable BuddyPress registration and let you use WordPress registration as default, hope this helps.

Hey, @peter-hamilton been a long time mate! Glad you’re still at this, just been to check it out, looking good mate, you remember me right from the last website you created and in these forums? I have one of my own launching at the end of this week I will share with you, its been 2-3 years man since I was really active in here, Just thought I would pop bye seeing as my new build is Buddypress and BBpress once again. I am gonna try to be more active here once again, life has just had me so damn busy man.

@dcavins
I strongly agree with guys.
Why does not Buddypress offer cover image crop but profile image?
It’s hardly choose cover image users want!
Please offer cover image crop.

I can’t work out exactly what you are asking, but maybe you should take a look at this:
