In your secondary blog theme’s functions.php, try adding this:

`remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );`

If your other blog’s theme has its own registration templates, you could try:
myblog.example.com/register

By “own registration templates”, I mean you’d have to copy /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/registration/ to your current blog theme’s folder.

Easy way, On wpms 3.0.x
Disable the blog signup from SuperAdmin->Options ->Registration Settings
and select the second option (User account may be created). If you are on the wpms 3.1, you will have to go to NetworkAdmin->settings->Registration Settings and do the same.

On your users request, you can still create an account as you are the site admin.

Do you want just the permalink to be changed, or do you want the default wp registration?

There are bunch of ways to make this happen but here is what I use.

Oddly enough imo the plugin authors don’t really showcase the privacy feautre which I think is one of the plugins best quallities.

Here a creen shot of the privacy settings page is it appers on my install.

very bassic but it really does the trick if you are trying to limit access to member profile pages.

Hope this helps!

I am definitely interested in this too. Taking it a step further, it would be nice to make users complete a full profile for the site after logging in through Facebook. Right now the WP-FB-autoconnect works great, creates the user and logs them in – but then it brings them back to the homepage without filling out the rest of their profile.

When you create an account in BP without logging in through facebook, the BP registration page asks users to complete all the required and optional fields in the profile – but I haven’t found a way to do this with Facebook, it just gives them a user name and logs them in. So I think what would need to happen is that after the facebook connect, the registration process isn’t complete – it points them back to the BP registration page (or something like it) where they can finish entering other required and optional fields.

Any ideas on how this might work?

A workaround might be that on the *first* login only, the user is redirected to the edit profile page, and on subsequent logins they’re redirected to the homepage and logged in normally.

You must search for anti-spam plugins that filter out spam activity that the users make.

If the “spammers” are going past the captcha, that means they are not robots, actually people, just spamming your site.

So keep the captcha for robots, and you will need to search for anti-spam software to filter out the spam content posted on your site.

Do you put the capatcha only on the registration area or on other parts of your site as well?

Had the same problem on a fresh BP 1.2.8 install on a fresh WP 3.1. Changed theme to bp default, changed permalink settings, made sure .htaccess contained rewrite rules as generated by BP. mod_rewrite was definitely activated. However, the .htaccess in the BP root (a subdirectory under a local domain) was not evaluated at all. Ubuntu 10.04 server edition, everything installed via packet management except for WP/BP which were simply unzipped from the download archives.

This entry in httpd.conf helped:

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo Options

After that all the links on tabs, registration etc. worked fine.

Change the root dir of bp accordingly. After that all the links on tabs, registration etc. worked fine.

Hi,

Test this plugin: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wangguard/

OK, so like everyone else through forum after forum I also had the problem of new users not getting a confirmation email. My problem was Bluehost. WordPress apparently sends those emails from an email address called “wordpress@yourdomain.com”. Bluehost has a problem with this as might other hosts. The solution is a plug-in https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/ install it and allow it to make your email “noreply@yourdomain.com”. It worked and was easy.

Hi

I’m having the same problem. Did you get it sorted?
