BuddyPress.org

@chiangmai – It could be because it’s not compatible with BP, I’m not familiar with that plugin but not all WP plugins are compatible with the BP registration process.

I’ve had success with Wanguard and asking a specific question. I’ve only had one spammer come through in the last month. I tried other CAPTCHA plugins before, and the CAPTCHA wouldn’t show in IE.

The default theme with BuddyPress doesn’t have a log in widget. If you’re not using a different theme and you’re referring to the sidebar area, that’s hardcoded into the template. In this case, some extra text with a register link will appear as long as user registrations are enabled on your site.

To check, http://www.agentwp.com/enable-or-disable-user-registration-in-wordpress

I would check them all because I have used plugins that broke registration and it was usually the last one I tried. Matter of fact I know disable wordpress updates was the culprit on one occasion. Just disable them all one by one to weed out the issue and then come back if the problem persists. Just a piece of advice for the future, anytime you install a new plugin, test that the registration still works each time. It sounds tedious but it will save you a headache if you have installed many plugins and you have to weed out the registration killing plugin because you failed to test it.

Disable User/Pass registrations and use a Facebook only registration system.

BP 1.5.5, WP 3.4, GF 1.6.3.3.4

Registration attempts via our mobile theme recently started to fail.
Submit results in refresh of page with fields inputs showing.

Thought it might be a s2member conflict…
So confirmation that a GF issue exists is helpful – thanks.

GF instances, like the reg form, are shared across the desktop and mobile themes.

The fate of the mobile theme is being decided, so I haven’t dug around much or tried your -disable ajax or -switch hooks fixes.

So mainly I was just bumping the thread.

It’s not available as an option from wp-admin.

It’s possible with some fairly advanced coding – you’d need to be a competent PHP developer:

You could look at using the wp_set_auth_cookie() to auto login the user on registration.

You need to hook on to an appropriate action in the user registration process – disable the call to wp_new_user_notification(), and then use the auto login function above.

Alternatively, you could have a look to see if there are any ‘off the shelf’ plugins to do this for you — I’m not aware of any.

1) Disable user registration in WordPress, and create user accounts manually via the wp-admin screens.

2) This is default WordPress multisite behaviour.

3) You will need some kind of front-end posting form for your theme(s).

It’s an option tied to the registration process, you get to enable or disable site registration and then to set what role is assigned to new signups. It will be part of the admin settings for sites rather than network admin if memory serves correctly

Hi:
Sounds like you’ve got everything set up right. Do you have the “Disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing?” in BussyPress settings set to No? Once the WordPress registration page is pointed at the BuddyPress registration page, no one should have to register on both, and the option above should keep those registrations ‘in sync’.

You said:
“I have the buddypress register associated with the wordpress register page, but it still does not work.”

If you’ve done this within BuddyPress Page settings, you’re actually associating WordPress’s Registration and activation pages with BuddyPress. Not the other way around as you stated. Is this what you’ve done?
