BuddyPress.org

Wpmu? There’s WordPress with multisite now a days?

And no you can’t use the native register page with BuddyPress.

Thanks for the heads-up, @gunju2221

If by “BuddyPress profile”, you mean the fields and groups you have configured in the xprofile settings screen, then yes it’s certainly technically possible because site admins can create new user accounts without having to complete BuddyPress profiles. I’m not sure how to practically do this, however. Would need to try and find out.

Try to see if there’s a user registration widget (i.e. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registration-form-widget/ — not tested) and see if it works and does what you want it to do.

(To clarify, there’s no difference between a “WordPress user” and a “BuddyPress”, both are the same.)

This is an excellent question that I can’t answer, I’ll get the core developer @djpaul

What I posted was an example of adding a link to the adminbar, in this case, the Dashboard link for a Super Admin only, not for your specific scenario. Assuming you didn’t change the registration slug, it would be something like this

function register_link_adminbar() {
if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
echo '<li><a href="/register/">Use this link to register</a></li>';
}
}
add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'register_link_adminbar', 2);

Adjust as needed.

They have an abbreviated registration form on the homepage that only shows the username field, then it redirects to the registration page.

One approach might be to configure php.ini to use the smpt localhost and port lines (i.e uncomment) and set an explicit sendmail_from address or simply configure sendmail,

I’ve never had an issue with sending email reg confirmations from a test environment but then I scrabbled around and worked out how to configure ‘fake sendmail’ which essentially amounted to stating a true smtp server to use e.g my main email account.

This is one of those issues that is not really application based necessarilly but more server OS oriented and finding a solution may be quicker focusing on these aspects rather than WP/BP and perhaps trying in a WAMP forum? or XAMPP? for a solution?

Nice of you to congratulate yourself for solving the problem. However, these posts show up on search results so it would be good protocol for you to explain your solution. Cheers!

Are you looking for something like this?

If so, navigate to your BP registration page, view the HTML source and copy everything in the `

don’t put the code from register.php to home page.

All you have to do is edit the slugs

Here’s my problem right now. I have WP+BP-based site. I soft-launched to a select 100 or so friends. 75 started the process. Of those, a large-ish number did not get the activation email and did not complete the sign-up process.

The ONLY way I know this is from the few that reported they did not receive the activation email and have asked me to resend – which there is no way of accomplishing this simple task. AND counting the number of users in the admin panel USERS and comparing it to the BP Site Stats plugin that counts the active users.

Should not the Admin–>User area include some indication whether a user has been “activated” or not? AND give us the opportunity to “Re-Send Activation”? Seems like a logical management tool.

I’m not sure if I’m doing things correctly but it’s working for me this way– I make a copy of register.php, remove the div that I don’t need (eg. “content” ) , also remove the line that calls sidebar, then, save the file as “something.php”. In the page I want to use the register form, inside a div where I want to show the form, use the “locate_template” to call this “something.php”.
If I’ve done things wrong, please correct me.

I’ve been searching all night for this, too.

I have a similar issue. I know activation emails are being sent. However, some of these emails get sent ot junk and the member doesn’t know to check. When I go to the “Users” section in the admin I see nothing that indicates non-replies as spam and certain no way to “activate” a member.

Is there a way to resend activation?

There’s a “Sign Up” link notice in adminbar if you allow registration, beside the “Login” link see http://testbp.org/

Registration is disabled by default, so if you’re not seeing the Sign Up link, you should go to admin dashboard > Super Admin > Options – Registration Settings – Allow New Registrations – check any other than default “Registration is disabled”

Edit- for single WP install, go to dashboard > Settings > General Settings – Membership – Anyone can register and below that, you can choose Suscriber role.

=== There is no Super Admin panel, not to mention no choice either in the drop down menu at the top of the buddypress toolbar, or in the wordpress dashboard called ‘options.’ ===

Super Admin and special Options panel only show up for WordPress multisite installations – so if you want those but more importantly, you want to allow your members to create blogs in your site then read this https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

=== buddypress not posting the link for the codex anywhere on this site ====

Sure there is a link. Click on “Support” tab in main navigation then click on “Documentation” link that appears in line below main navigation.

Also, what’s with buddypress not posting the link for the codex anywhere on this site! Or anywhere that’s noticeable. I had to download buddypress and dig out the readme file to find out that one exists!

I’m running the latest version of wordpress, 3.0.3 and a brand new installation of Buddypress. There is no Super Admin panel, not to mention no choice either in the drop down menu at the top of the buddypress toolbar, or in the wordpress dashboard called ‘options.’

so… how do we allow folks to register?
