If you disable the FB connect does registration return? Also try renaming the registration page

@starapple Did you try the function r-a-y wrote?

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' );

You’d need to remove all the code you’ve added first then try adding that to your theme’s functions.php file.

@shaungreen
Unless you disabled the WP toolbar for logged out visitors there should still be a login link in the toolbar to the top left.

@starapple

There are two different ways to disable buddypress registration on https://gist.github.com/r-a-y/5578432

@postmarkj
It will always help to mention your using multisite when requesting support! In that case you need to go to Network Admin/Dashboard/Settings/Network Settings and to the right of registration settings check “Registration is disabled.”

@postmarkj
Have you went to dashboard/settings/general and unchecked “Anyone can register” to the right of Membership? Remember BP is a WP plugin and if you disable WP registration, you also disable BP registration.

Well for starters kill any plugins that might interfere with a registration process e.g facebook login ones – to test issues it’s always the instruction to disable all plugins working them back in until problem one is found.

Other than that it’s hard to say there’s too little information. As far as BP 1.8.1 goes on a trunk install I appear to have no issues registering.

I do hope they didn’t really say could only be fixed by buddypress support. Generally email issues are not BP problems, and currently BP has no issues I’m aware of in sending registration emails, which also is really a WP function.

Easy check that should have been run first would have been and still ought to be tried is to disable BP and simply try registering an account under WP.

Often email issues fall under the heading of ‘Domain Record’ issues i.e email servers rejecting an email as it can’t be verified as authorised on the sending domain or there’s no PTR record or SPF record, or simply that the server sendmail is at issue, these though are not really problems that lie with WP or BP which normally happily send out emails.

Search this forum though as these issues have been discussed many times and you’ll find more info in the archives.

@ranebo You can disable registration by going to Settings > General and making sure registration is not enabled.

The users can only fill out whatever Extended Profile Fields the Site/Super Admin created in the backend via Users > Profile Fields, users cannot create new profile fields. These profile fields can only be edited by the user in the front end via Member Profile Screens and not in the back end via User > Your Profie

Here you go

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
/**
 * Disables BuddyPress' registration process and fallsback to WordPress' one.
 */
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'; 
    }
?>

This has worked for me

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
/**
 * Disables BuddyPress' registration process and fallsback to WordPress' one.
 */
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'; 
    }
?>

I seem to have the same issue. disabled all plugins and switched my theme to Twenty Twelve disabled and re-enabled buddypress. issue still persists

I have disabled all plugins and have the latest version of Buddypress and WordPress on a multisite installation. On the registration page the username field insists on lowercase characters. The only way around this for me is to change the hint.

Which file do I edit to change hint from “Usernames can contain only letters, numbers, ., -, *, and @” to something like “Usernames can contain only lowercase letters, numbers, ., -, *, and @”

If I use the plugin BP Disable Activation

Everything it´s okay. But the native system it´s more useful!

I am helping Kathryn with this issue, here are the details for the installation.

The original programmer for the site vanished, so the configuration is the way it is. Not asking anybody to solve the problem on our behalf, just opening the issue to more eyes. All help and all input is greatly appreciated.

Wordpress: 3.5.2
Buddypress: 1.7.3
PHP: 5.3 (I suspect this might be the culprit.)

@mercime – I have been reading the codex for BuddyPress, Event Manager and WordPress core. It’s just hard to keep it all straight. My only point above was that it literally would take one extra sentence when answering questions to say something like, “put it in bp-custom.php (which is a file you’ll have to create…here’s the codex link”. That’s all. OTherwise, the approach above totally worked for me too! It disabled the completely non-fuctioning registration page (I’m using a BP friendly theme, but not the default) and now I let S2 Member handle the user registration/login process. I don’t how I could ever use BP as a stand alone so there are many things in it that are clearly buggy that consistently get blamed on using any other plugin or theme. My real wish is that the wonderful devs who made BP happen make a non-buggy Pro version and make some money for themselves (while we get better docs/examples/support).
