BuddyPress.org

== I have created pages for these by pasting the link on the relevant page. It wont let me do this for a register page tho ==

http://www.eastendersspoilers.co.uk/register is the link you can paste

You need to look through all the dashboard options and become familiar with the settings available, look under general settings for WP registration options and enable the option of your choice for sign ups.

Hi – I think this is the problem I am also having. there is no place for new members to register. I am using the BP default theme.. where should I go to allow registration please? thanks

Using bp-default theme, if you allowed registration in your single WP or multisite, then the registration page will show up when visitors click on “Register” link.

not sure if this is related but have you gone into general settings in your admin area to check if the ‘anyone can register’ is ticked next to membership..?

hope this helps

Did you check registration if you deactivate Typepad spam blocker as well as all other plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme?

updated**: it’s Traject’s theme addon-functions.php. Maybe the author must be notified.

This is Traject’s theme functions.php. It’s not working on my part either and even with the crop image. sigh ***

I took a different approach:

1)Buddypress general settings- rename the “Full Name Filed” to nothing… clear it out and save. This will remove the label from the reg page.
2) Hide the full name field on the registration page with css.
3) Add JS to mirror typed characters from username field into full name field
requires jquery 1.4.2
`

#field_1 {visibility:hidden;}

function sync()
{
var n1 = document.getElementById(‘signup_username’);
var n2 = document.getElementById(‘field_1’);
n2.value = n1.value;
}

`

Call it appropriately:

`<input type="text" name="signup_username" onkeyup="sync()" id="signup_username" value="” />
`

Seems to be working pretty good so far.

which theme are you using? if you want to edith your current theme, Goto your admin Area,then Goto Appearance—>Editor at the right hand side where all the files are listed, look for “register.php” and edit the text you wish.

If you want a simple reCaptcha script, try this one:

any news on this? is there anyway to use some of the work done with wordpress plugin “postie” to develop this? and an upload photos by email function would be amazing like facebook offers…… currently can’t upload from iphone so this solves the avatar registration issue too from a mobile

If you have enabled ‘blogs can be created’ then the form elements will appear on the bp registration page – unless that is you have a custom theme which has modified things? if so you will need to contact the authors.

If you mean you cannot find the option to allow blogs to be created then you need to understand how WP works now with two separate section for ‘Site Admin’ & ‘Network Admin’ look in the top right corner of the dashboard for the Network Admin link

Firstly searching the site will possibly throw up past threads on the subject, try: ‘private profile’

Or you could check how certain aspects of bp work that only kick in when the user has logged in ( look in sidebar.php for examples of logic that checks if a user is logged in) using that logic you could take the main home page for members profiles and wrap it a conditional query that says ‘show: member profile if user is logged in else: write a polite message explaining profiles are restricted to members and provide a link to registration page.

– To create a group, assuming you’re using bp-default theme and that you’ve allowed Groups in BuddyPress > General Settings, go to http://yoursite.com/groups and click on the “Create a Group” link beside the Groups Directory header.

– The bp-default theme has a log-in form in the sidebar. Then assuming you allowed registration, it will have a link to the default BP registration page.

– Before installing any plugin, WP or BP, check plugin compatibility with your current BP/WP versions. If plugin notes compatibility up to WordPress 3.0 and BP 1.2.6, then you shouldn’t be installing that plugin in a WP 3.1.3/BP 1.2.8 installation.

Please check out the BuddyPress Codex for more information

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

The codex is a great resource: https://codex.buddypress.org/home/

Please check the permalinks settings: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks – I prefer day and name.

In terms of forums, there is a modified bbPress available if you enable this under the BuddyPress settings. Registration page is /register – and can only be seen if you are not logged into the site. Groups must be created. The rest is probably answered in the codex – or you can ask here.

Enjoy the journey

BuddyPress’s registration page and process don’t use the hooks WP-reCAPTCHA is expecting.

Here’s a small (~40 lines) plugin to make the reCAPTCHA field show up and be processed during registration. This has only been tested on single-site installs, and probably won’t work (or will mess up) a multi-site install, because that will trigger different behavior from WP-reCAPTCHA.

I have exactly the same problem and still i have the bp-template-pack installed and activated

I can see the site main page http://www.amazing-canvas.com but not my registration test page http://www.amazing-canvas.com/inesrodrigues

I have tested with the default bp theme and still having the very same problem.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
