BuddyPress.org

In our case, it turned out to be a permalinks issue. The registration form would be submitted, but not directed to the right script. Make sure your .htaccess file is writeable, the resave your Permalink settings.

In order for your users to register sites, you need to enable Multi-site. Once that’s done, you should be able to go into the Network Admin menu in the top right corner. From there, Settings on the Left has a Registration Settings area to Allow New Registrations. The available radio buttons allow you to decide whether your users can register Sites. This also enables the “Create A Blog!” option in the BuddyBar along the top.

On the root site (where buddypress is installed I assume), I would leave the General Setting as subscriber. Your users will be Admin on their own blogs, but you don’t want them messing about with your root blog.

@mercime Registration works normally in WordPress, as well as on a clean staging site with all the same plugins.

@BuiltbyKids @Roenok deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins. How’s registration on bare WP install?

i am using bp role manager to create roles for users in wordpress.
now i want to that only user with specific role should be approved by admin through BuddyPress Registration Options plugin it is now used for every type of users registered.
how can i do this plz suggest.

I don’t know if this is where I need to be posting this. i’m having two issues with the avatar page in registration.

1. when I upload and crop an avatar, it doesn’t “take”; I end up with the default (mystery man) avatar. But I can re-upload and crop via MyProfile>ChangeAvatar, and the avatar then is saved. Not sure, after skimming all posts in this discussion, how to deal with this.

2. more importantly to me, from a user standpoint, is the lack of direction from the avatar page. When first arriving, I’m told “we’ve fetched an avatar for your new account…” but there’s no means of actually accepting that avatar. My only options are “Choose File” and “Upload Image”. As a user, I am FORCED to upload an image (which, from #1, is then lost anyway). If I do upload an image, I am then returned to the same avatar page with the default (mystery man) avatar and the same two options (Choose File and Upload Image).

Some help establishing a simple “accept this avatar” button would be appreciated.

I’m using most current BuddyPress 1.2.8 with WP3.1.2.

Thanks

In ‘Network Admin’, go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Settings’ and then the 3rd selection down (under Registration Settings) make sure you select the radio button ‘Both sites and user accounts can be registered’.

You’ll then find the Registration login widget enabled in the sidebar of your site.

I am experiencing the same scenario. Please help! Thank you.

== move the Activity, Registration and Members folders to TwentyTen theme ==

You don’t “move” the BP folders to your theme, you need to

1. have Twenty Ten theme activated

2. install the BP Template Pack plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

3. follow the instructions of the BP Compatibility Process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

If you need some pointers for the whole process, read this – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

i did not get the post notifications and I was not active here, so could not help you. sorry for that
@latinosamorir
Yes, I have the solution. I am posting a detailed tutorial today. Will link here.
btw, the above code still applies.

Hi @sbrajesh.

Do you have a solution for this?

Thanks,
Giovanni

@candy2012.

Thanks!!!

I have not tried this yet but soon will. I’ve been waiting for a year for this solution. I wonder why the BP gurus dropped the ball on this.

1. Go to members/single/profile/edit.php in your theme.
2. Find and delete this line `

`
3. Paste this `

` after each instance of this line ` `.

And it’s a similar sort of process for the register.php – found in the registration folder in your theme.
Sloppy, but oh well.

Make sure you have that members can join, go to Dash Board>settings>general settings, click on the box beside
Membership Anyone can register

You need to enable user registration: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-enable-user-registration-log-in

And make sure you’ve set custom permalinks. Otherwise, we’ll need more details to help

You can map profile fields from Facebook to BuddyPress with WP-FB-Autoconnect with custom code. It is indeed on the roadmap!

I don’t think there’s any way of integrating these two similar, but different, beasts. What type of registration field do you find BuddyPress lacking in? Privacy options?

You’d have to build it yourself. Are you familiar with building widgets? If not, you may need to find a developer unless you learn.

Check Facebook’s T&C; I’m pretty sure they don’t let you store user profile data, other than a username, in an external system.
