BuddyPress.org

Users have to activate their account via email before they are listed in the admin.

Your registration is normal, there are no error messages , I created a test account.

What problem? There is no problem really that I see with anything, data is yes, correctly entered.

http://oldhd.rckelsey.com/register, yes. Correct URL.

Are you by any chance wanting to change it to “registration”?

Seems working to me!

OK, I get why you might want BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG now. My bad.

I just did a test on a local installation and registration on subsites seemed to work fine – no redirects. Maybe I’m missing something? Here’s what I did:
1) enabled BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG in wp-config.php
2) created a secondary blog and enabled bp-default on that blog
3) Visited the secondary blog as a non-logged-in user
4) Clicked on “create an account” just above the login box (example.com/subsite/register)
5) The registration page loaded correctly – no redirect to the main blog. I filled out the registration info and submitted
6) Got an activation email and successfully activated my account

Is it possible that this is a theme issue? Do the BP themes that you are using for the portals have the necessary registration templates? (registration/activate.php and registration/register.php)

Hi, has anyone come across the answer to this yet?

I’m not averse to subscription sites like Buddydev or WMPUdev but I’d prefer a code insert instead of another plugin!

Thanks

hey, kanoc!

Where can i find these settings?

I’m having the exact same problem!

How to create my registration page? I’ve look all over for this answer, can’t find it.

I just want users to be able to sign up on their own.

I’m getting the same results—adding the suggested remove_action causes registration to redirect to the front page.

I have a completely different problem … CAPTCHA on comments appears fine. It is not appearing on the registration page: http://www.xbox-arena.com/register

What I have to ask is “Why?” and “How?” are these spambots accessing and creating users? I have one site that uses WP multisite with BP and there’s a great plugin “BP Registration Options” that works well enough to grab and display all new member requests and displays IP addresses; which I then add to WP-Ban. Its taken a month but I am now down to a dozen or so spambot signups per day.

Now, I have another WP/BP site that is NOT multisite and “BP Registration Options” does not work the same. BUT I copy the IP addresses from the one and paste it into the “WP Ban” of this site. However, I am still 100+ spambot signups per day. So, I have a plugin “Pending Activations” (which doesn’t work in multisite) but this plugin does not display the IP address of the offending spambot signups. Thus, my battle with the signups continues …

So … How are the spambots signing up? Why does the registration form not have CAPTCHA? and how can we stop them from signing up?

Do you have the following line in your wp-config.php or bp-custom.php?
`define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );`

If so, I suggest you comment it out:
`// define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );`

BP multiblog mode is only necessary if you want to have BP content (like members profiles, etc) available on all subsites. Regular WP multisite use does not require BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG.

If you absolutely need the BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG functionality, but you want to force all registration to happen on the main blog, then you will have to build your own redirects.

If you want to disable BP’s registration and user account activation pages: In your functions.php or in a custom plugin:

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

I use BP-Registration-Options and also Members Only between them this keeps out the non registered users and presents the registration page by default (which I have set as my redirect in Members Only). I hope this helps.

Using this PlugIn (during the registration) my users still have to fill out three mandatory fields (Full Name, First- and Last Name)… and this doesn’t make sense…

Is there a solution for this? Having to fill in redundant information (first name, last name and full name) seems to be a big no no during registration. The website of the creator of “Real Names” doesn’t seem to be reachable anymore.
