BuddyPress.org

Hello There, so im new to BuddyPress…Trying to set up a site and what i am finding is with this S2member/Buddypress Collaboration. Basically when i go on my site which i have set up and try to register as a general “subscriber or something it tells me an activation email has been sent but i never actually receive one.

I have tried on multiple accounts but i am having no luck whatsoever. Any ideas?

Thanks

You will need to configure WordPress to allow user registrations.
To install the forums, after you’ve activated BuddyPress, go to the Network dashboard (I am assuming you are on WordPress 3.1), go to the “BuddyPress” menu item and then “Forum Setup.”

At the end of the BP template pack process, per instruction on screen, you need to add (hardcode) new navigation tabs or links to your theme’s header.php to link to BuddyPress components directory pages.

Add link to the components you enabled in BuddyPress settings. The default set of links are:

* Activity: http://yoursite.com/activity/
* Members: http://yoursite.com/members/
* Groups: http://yoursite.com/groups/
* Forums: http://yoursite.com/forums/
* Register: http://yoursite.com/register/ (registration must be enabled)
* Blogs: http://yoursite.com/blogs/

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-xtra-signup/ may work

However, another option would be to add a line of code that asserts that if a user proceeds in creating an account, they agree to your Ts and Cs. Find `registration/register.php` and add text to line 198. Surround your Ts and Cs url with a link for users to view it before proceeding. That way any members on your site will have read/agreed to them.

Could you post what you did? I would like to do the same

I wonder if this is something as a result of a change in WP 3.1.

ping @andrea_r

I also have some issues with the new version too! I have 2 sites and I dont know what happen but when people register in the site it doesnt included in the mainsite like it used to. I tried registering myself and it get me registered in the Network but not in the 1 site/ main site which I want all registration will be stored. Is anyone experiencing the same thing? How can I fix this?

put in bp-custom.php:

`remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_screen_signup’, 3 );`

I had the same problem. I resolved this by
1. Select Settings>General – Membership – Select “Anyone can register”
2. Select Settings>Discussion Settings>Other comment settings – Select “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”
3. Log out of administrator identity
4. Clear browser cache
5. Reload http://www.yoursite.com/register page

Voila…hope it works for you others…

I am using buddypress with wp-member. It works, except buddypress lets you input a password upon registration, but wp-member generates a pw. Anyone know how to fix this? I’d like to make it so my clients can log in with the pw buddypress allows them to choose rather than check their email. Or can I remove the pw option from buddypress?

Here is a way I have found to make avatar uploads work while still using a CDN. I’m using S3/Cloudfront but it shouldn’t make a difference.

The avatars, once accepted have a filename that always ends in either ‘bpfull.jpg’ or ‘bpthumb.jpg’

When an avatar is being dealt with by the upload/cropping process, the images used are not given these names.

If uploaded at registration time they are stored in an avatars/signups/ folder

If uploaded once a user is a registered member, they will always have the file size at the end of the filename (e.g. 200×200.jpg)

Using this info, I did the following:

in my custom file list, I added the following:

`wp-content/uploads/avatars/*bpfull.*
wp-content/uploads/avatars/*bpthumb.*`

in my rejected files list, I added the following:

`/wp-content/uploads/avatars/signups/*
/wp-content/uploads/avatars/*/*x*.*`

I’m not too happy with the rules for rejection, it seems like there might be a danger of having a file named xxxbpfull.jpg being rejected and sourced locally, but given that any files that don’t contain an x will be sourced from my CDN I am pretty happy with this level of fudgery. In any case, this does mean that the files required to process the cropping will be sourced locally and therefore avatar uploads will work.

The last thing to do is to set the autoupload time to something reasonable – I have set it to 10 minutes at the moment mainly so I can check that this all works okay, and also to see how much the autoupload script hammers the server. If it were possible it would be nice to add a hook at the end of the avatar cropping function that calls an image upload to the CDN for the file that has been created, but waiting 10 minutes to an hour for an avatar is not so bad.

Hopefully this is helpful, and if anybody has better rules for the rejected file list I would be super happy to see them.

Just started up Buddypress and Easy Albums. All ok except for no ability for a visitor / friend to ’register’, ’create account’ or ’sign up’ in the Members fields.

I have icons of Newest – Active and Popular but nothing for visitors to register and create profile. Currently I am the only one listed on site as a member with ability to create / edit my profile. Am I missing something obvious?
Can someone tell me where to start at getting a registration Sign up function operating?

“I saw that when I just used “/registration”, the page didn’t show when i was signed in “

because if you are signed in, they you are already registered and there’s no need to RE-register.

Why are you copying the registration to a different page? Why not just edit the files in /registration? Better, what are you trying to accomplish?

@Travel-Junkie

I absolutely adore this code you’ve posted. It’s clean and easy to install, and there’s no extraneous junk that needs to be done. A simple copy/paste does the trick amazingly well for me.

But here’s a question:

I know that
`if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )’
is where I add slugs that make particular pages available to the public.

I’m also using the bp-xtra-signup, which I think you contributed to. On my registration page, there’s a checkbox to check that says one agrees to the site TOS, but one has to open a link to see the TOS. When that link is clicked, it redirects to the front page of the site that logged out users are redirected to.

I’m wondering two things: (1) I haven’t made a TOS page, so where is it? Does one come with that plugin? (Cause I have yet to find it. LOL) and (2) Where do I get that slug to add to the visible pages code line?

Thanks!

Have you logged out?
If you click on that link (your no. 2) it will send you to homepage if logged in….

And you have installed the Suffusion BP template pack plugin and gone through that process, checked permalink settings, or at least revisted the permalink page to force a refresh; any other issues with links?

Hi, everyone,
I have similar problems with registration
1. .I can’t see my registration page anywhere.
2. When I use the http://mariamar.com/register URL, it just sends me back to the homepage.
3. I also don’t know how to place a registration link or box so visitors can register.

I see that the consistent answer here is Settings/ General.
I’ve done that. Still the problem is not solved.
INFO
I’m using WordPress 3.03 (or 4? Anyways, the one previous to 3.05) I installed BP and then used the available links to make it work with my theme, suffusion, which is the theme I use in all our blogs, as is the best one around for creating flexible widgets and highly customized design, so I don’t want to change it. I don’t know if this affects the situation. Just thought to mention this.
PLEASE HELP!
Well, I’m stuck. Have looked everywhere for a solution. I would appreciate some quick response from the very nice fellows in this forum.

Thanks,
MM

Thanks rossagrant. This helped me too!
