Yes; as I said up, have a look in /buddypress/bp-xprofile.php. There is a xprofile_set_field_data().
have a similar problem, have set SMTP plugin and some emails get sent: registration, membership notification etc. but not notifications. Solutions?
Okay, then, I have this half working. Is there a safe way to update a wp_bp_xprofile_data table then? I see I can pull out a bit of profile data with xprofile_get_field_data(‘field_name’,$userid)….is there one for update? that way I can keep this info synched from within my own plugin as well.
Never mind, I see it now. It’s under bp-themes as the root folder.
The theme lives in /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default.
You *could* move out bp-default and put it into /themes/, for example.
Okay, sorry for being so thick, I’ve downloaded BuddyPress and see no registration folder.
The first part is simple. Make sure you’re using WPMU (even if you don’t use the extra blog features). Then, there’s a configuration option to restrict registration to certain domains.
I haven’t tested the changing the email after the fact, but you’ll probably have to filter something to make it possible for them to change their email since I’m pretty sure it will still require the specified domains if you don’t tell it not to.
@ravisahota
If you’re running a multisite install with s2member, make sure you’ve enabled ‘Allow Open Registration’. You’ll find the setting under ‘s2member’ > ‘Multisite Config’ > ‘Multisite Registration Configuration’.
If you’re running a single site install, I’m not sure where that setting would be located in s2member, but it’s probably in there somewhere. Maybe ‘general Options’?
@thealchemist
Did changing your settings work? I have the same problem, and changing the settings so that anyone can register didn’t fix the problem. I still don’t have a way for new users to sign up.
@pcwriter
any advice?
yes? I’m still not quite sure what to do tho, can u explain?
You provide next to no information on your setup both WP/BP and more importantly your server/hosting .Email issues nearly always have a root cause at the server level, generally WP sends email without hitch via fakemail programs such as sendmail.
system is not sending.. I have tried myself with several email addresses and there are no mails, not in the inbox and not in the spam/junk either.. 
@sevenos … Is the system not sending? or are people not receiving? I had to put a warning message in the registration form to remind folks to check their junk/spam folders because 99% of all “missing” activation emails go there.
I think I’ve found an alternative to that plugin..

And I just tried this.. works great!
Still, If anyone can help me with the system mail block please help
urgh.. I need to pay a full membership fee just for this one plugin
Hey thanks, If I can get this plugin to work with the invitation plugin it will be great!
But it would be awesome to fix an error like this since it might be a very big problem in the future,
So If anyone else have any ideas, it’ll b nice to hear.
Thanks again stefaane,
i don’t know what’s causing it, and i don’t know the solution
but until you know, you can avoid the problem with this plugin: http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-auto-activate-auto-login/
with this plugin verification mails are disabled
Yes. Have a test install of BuddyPress and look at the “Profile Field Setup” menu item underneath the main “BuddyPress” menu in wp-admin to see what you can do with the profile fields.
Per my previous post, the registration form is at /bp-default/registration/register.php. Copy that into your (child?) theme, preserving directory structure.
Will this work if two of our questions are lists of countries/states and the other two are lists of categories? In other words, will buddypress allow me to add data sets like these? And can I still set the data in wp_usermeta table and retrieve it in other uses?
Also–is it possible to rework look and feel of the registration form itself? Two of our questions involve choosing images along with form elements, didn’t know if this was possible.
I would suggest you use the BuddyPress Profile Fields to record this information — you can view the template used on the registration screen at bp-default/registration/register.php. You can then pull the information out of BuddyPress and just feed the variables to your existing “grab content” query.
See xprofile_get_field_data() in /buddypress/bp-xprofile.php how to retrieve/set this information programatically.
Sorry, we display this information on a MY page that only logged-in users can see.
Yeah, at the moment we are using the answers to these questions to grab content based on their gender, location, and category preferences — we match what they give us to WP categories and any meta-keys in the content we can match.
What are you going to use the extra usermeta for? If you just need an easy way to store and retrieve some data about individual users, then using BP xprofile fields is really the easiest way to go – they can be created in the Dashboard, and all the registration markup & save/retrieve functions are all built in. If, on the other hand, you’ve already built a bunch of custom functions to query across usermeta, then it’s probably best to keep what you’ve got (saving in wp_usermeta) and hook some functions into the BP registration process.
The next thing I’d do is deactivate BuddyPress to see if you’re still not getting new user notifications. If you can’t do this on your live site maybe create a test install in a subdirectory. This would help isolate whether it’s a BP or WP thing. You might want to check out the WordPress forums, too – https://wordpress.org/search/new+user+notification?forums=1
Did you ever get these new user notifications? Or is it something that just started happening recently? Maybe it’s a plugin or customization issue specific to your setup.
