In case anyone else comes here with this problem, installing the Mail From plugin DID work for me. I now get new user emails. So thanks. 
I am having this same issue. I get the email fine if the new user is created on the WordPress side, but if it is done through BuddyPress I do not get a notification. Any other ideas on this?
It’s not entirely clear how you would integrate this into BuddyPress itself, since every installation will have different “links” between profile fields. What kind of interface would be used to allow site admins to dictate such dependencies? If anyone is interested in providing a patch, or building a plugin, it might be worth looking at something like Drupal to see if they’ve implemented similarly dependent metadata fields, and how they’ve done it.
Hmm I see, what you mean by to be done on the frontend is by editing the source code right?
I think this feature have been requested by others also and I think this is pretty basic functionality.
Hope this feature will be integrate to buddypress in the near future.
can not help you with first question, way above my skills.
if you mean registration page than it is already in .po files, but all additional fields (from base group) you could simply write in necessary language.
Have the same problem…
Once user creates profile IE9 does not recognize the entered password and the sign up process halts there and can go no further.
This will most likely have to be done on the frontend with javascript.
Brush up on your jQuery! Look up “jquery conditional form fields” on Google.
Single WP: Settings > General > Membership – check anyone can register
WP Multisite: Network Admin > Settings > Settings > Allow user registration OR Allow user account and blog creation (can’t remember exact words )
OK amazing. I have one last question. Everything seems to be working fine except except I am not sure how to make registration enabled. After this everything should be up to go.
For the hundredths time thanks!

@imjscn you’re absolutely right, “adding something like gravity forms” plugin will be needed for frontend posting by users. although it is a premium plugin, you can also find some free front-end posting plugins that may work. sorry i didn’t clarify that important detail. with frontend posting plugin all your registered members can make posts, er, questions. I’ve also connected achievements very nicely with the setup i mentioned and user stats of Q&A. I really think you could do it with MU install and a dedicated subblog to host yoru Q&A site, unless your main site is the Q&A site.
With the setup i mentioned, you can easily set up a posting form for users to start questions “with there own permalinks” since they are “posts” afterall. Questions list page is just a reworked index.php.
“user’s Q&A’s can be listed under user’s home page tab — this you can do with a plugin if your Q&A is on the main site. If on a subdomain then you can just use the author.php to list the user’s questions and answers (but answers it takes a little more tweaking)
rating system, you can use any of the top post rating plugins available. GD star plugin does good job with both “posts” and “comments/answers” <– to show best answers.
To do all you just mentioned, “registration” is going to need to be required in order to tie Question/post data to the User, with WP you can just set the comments as open to all and users will not need to be registered to answer. But IMHO I always just make everyone register quickly with just the email and name, that’s what they would be entering to comment on open commenting anyway, so why not register them as a user at that point.
your thoughts are not un-realistic at all. it’s doable and been done!
Thanks for response!
@nahummadrid , by using posts & comments , only admin and authors can post questions. To allow visitor posting, something else is needed
@Bowromir , Basically, I need the Q&A system play nicely with main BP features and plugins. Especially a rating sytem which can communicate between BP user stats and Q&A results, also allows the rating result to be hooked up with Achievments plugin.
Other features include the ability of allowing anybody to start a post (the qurestion), registration is not required but the offer is provided; question are sortable by category or by tag; Each question has its own permalink; Questions has a list page; Questions and Answers can be listed under user’s home page nav tab,
The premium theme Instant-QA is really nice as an independant system. But I think a lot of works still needed to tweak it working with BP user profile and multisite. So, maybe it’s better dive into BP straight?
I tried Question-and-Answer-Forum plugin, it doesn’t register the post type with BP properly so that things are not running on BP; I also tried One-Quick-Post, it could work as Q&A if remove other un-related stuffs and add a rating system, but the code seems not stable in itself, Things are not smooth even without any tweaking, so I think it not worth working on.
I think the most posible smooth model is the BP activity component? — maybe make an Activity clone, remove un-related functions, allow guest post, then, adding user stats and rating system become simple.
All my thoughts might be un-realistic because I don’t have coding experience. Hope you guys continue shading lights on….
== Site Admin -> Options -> Allow New Registrations > set to: “Only Logged In Users Can Create New Blogs” – is no longer available!!! ==
It’s now available at Network Admin > Settings > Settings > Registration Settings – “Logged in users may register new sites.”
Thank you for a super fast reply. However, I red documentation, and it is for the previous version of BuddyPress / WordPress.
Site Admin -> Options -> Allow New Registrations > set to: “Only Logged In Users Can Create New Blogs” – is no longer available!!!
Could you guide a BuddyPress/WordPress noob please?
If i need to change the code, I am fine with this – I have a software development background.
If you configure multisite to allow blog registrations, when a user registers an account on your BuddyPress-powered site, it will ask for/prompt for the name of the site (blog) to be created. BuddyPress then tells multisite to register that new site; there’s very little involvement here as far as BP is concerned.
I have the same question as well. I have created a couple more field groups in Buddypress profile fields section on the dash. Alas, none but the base group shows up in registration. Any help on how to get around this would be fantastic!
Greg, I am using W3TC for object caching (xcache opcode) and browser caching. Along with that I am using MAXCDN as the CDN (was prior using Amazon S3). MAXCDN is set now to cache almost all of my graphics, css, and javascripts -including plugins and child-themes. One of the two sites I was referring to is a straight WordPress site: http://mustech.net and the other is a BUDDYPRESS, non-multi-site (single site), site (htttp://musicpln.org – registration only).
I’ve set up a different pullzone for each of the sites using maxcdn.
Can they register? do you have a registration page? when that is completed and submitted is the issue that they don’t receive an email verification code? if the system is not sending emails correctly then you neeed to look at things from the server level first and establish that you can actually send emails correctly, or if not sure contact your hosts and ask for help.
Then you need to enable site registrations, people then need to register, receive their activation email activate their account login and do something then they should appear in BP members directory. You will need to ensure BP settings allow users to create groups and that forums are setup.
What type of WP install are you running? With multisite users are added under Network Admin users list in the dashboard and have to be manually added to main or other sites and given WP roles if required.

Ahh, thank you @mercime. If I disable Secure Invites, will the registration process return to normal?
good job, aomega. thank you!!!
It would be worthwhile to check registration as that behavior is not the norm. Which kind of registration below are you currently using?
– Open registration
– Registration coming from Invite Anyone // I see users added in BP and see them in backend of WP blog where BP is installed
– Registration coming from using Secure invites
– Registration comng from Facebook connect plugins – which one?
– Registration via LDAP or other form of connection bridge
Edit – dashboard Users > Add New adds users to the specific blog where user was added.
It is a shared hosting.. .
plugins :
akismet,bp-album,buddypress,buddypress-links,buddypress-registration-groups,buddypress-sliding login panel,category-post,exlude-pages,inbox-widget,post-highlihts,private-buddypress & wp-fb-autoconnect
I dont thinkt that this plugins can do this.
