Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how I go about disabling the auto generation of the strong password on the registration form?

The users of my site are not very tech savvy and they tend to register without taking note of the password then have to reset it.

I get daily complaints…

The password strength notices are fine so that isn’t a problem.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

I’m fairly new to WP and BP. I’m trying to help a non-profit with their WordPress site and the Registration page just spins. I’ve added define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true ); to the wp-config.php file but I don’t get any errors logged….just the page spinning. I’ve pulled a copy to my LocalWP and disabled all plug-ins, etc but can’t find the issue. I would love any pointers or help!
Please be patient with me as my expertise is limited. I realize these are older plugins, etc. This was working and then stopped but not sure why. I will start slowing updating everything to get it current once I figure out how to get the site back functional.

To get to the registration page go to: About – scroll down and select ‘Become a Member’ – ‘Create an Account’

BP Settings Options – Profile Syncing enabled
BP Pages – Register set to Register

WP version: 5.6.7

Hi,
E-Seeker, allows users to register accounts and create their website, as part of a multisite environment.
The problem occurs after registration, where the user is added on the main site as well, as seen in the print screen:
https://prntscr.com/1s5dubh

I also added this code to manage to prevent the user to have access to the main site:
https://prntscr.com/1s5anwd

When I disable BuddyPress, and sign up a new user on https://e-seeker.com/wp-signup.php, I have a smooth registration, without the user added to my main site;
https://prntscr.com/1s5e8tw

I would appreciate any helpon this matter, so that a user could register an account or a website without be added and have access to my main site.

When I go to BuddyPress Pages in settings I get this –

“Registration is currently disabled. Before associating a page is allowed, please enable registration by selecting either the “User accounts may be registered” or “Both sites and user accounts can be registered” option on this page.”

So I go to the Network Settings and have allowed user registrations & saved. Refresh the page and it says that user registrations are allowed.

But if I go back to the BuddyPress settings I still get the message (above) that I need to allow registrations!

Help!

Hello, suddenly
when users click on Registration they are redirect to

https://mysite/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2mysite%2Fregister%2F&reauth=1

I’ve tried to disable all plugins but it didn’t work. The only one change today, I’ve updated BP Better Messages.

Any idea what should I do?

Thank you for support

Good afternoon!
With some of the updates, there was a problem with the registration page on the site.
1. In the BuddyPress settings, the page I created for registration is selected in the “Pages” section. Everything used to work.
2. There are plugins in collaboration with BuddyPress – BP Disable Activation Reloaded and Youzer. But when I deactivate them, the problem doesn’t go away. But when I deactivate BuddyPress, the problem with redirects disappears.
3. Urls for site pages without “/”, i.e. site.com/post-name

BuddyPress 7.3.0

After installing BuddyPress, My registration page is now under buddypress, Even the password field is missing so people cant even sign up.

I want it to be my original themes registration page.

Ive done a bunch of research and none of the codes seemed to have worked for me.

Any Idea How to remove buddypress reg page?

I created a fresh install of WordPress, removed all themes except TwentyTwenty and all default plugins. Installed Buddypress from the WP repository. Activated. This is a fresh install set up to troubleshoot this Buddypress problem in another install.

I can add users in the backend. If BP is disabled, users can register using the default registration.

No WP errors are created or logged. A single proxy error is thrown. Noted below with real domain masked.

Any suggestions?

I have over 4000 active users on Buddypress – and it’s a Spam Magnet.

I’ve tried a few things I’ve found in past threads, but doesn’t seem to be working. Registrations are e-mail verified, and coming from gmail for the most part. The Spam users don’t seem to have the same IP range to ban, etc.

First people were just creating profiles. Then they started using the messages system. Disabled that. Then they started sending Friend requests to other users. Then they started replying to other users basic activity.

I’ve tried throttling, they just make more accounts. I’ve tried ReCaptcha on every messaging form. A week later someone still manages to reply to activity to a few hundred users in a day.

I’ve essentially disabled every single interaction possibility at this point, which severely hobbles the usefulness of buddypress in the first place.

Any ideas for something that actually works to stop spam?
