You can also increase the minimum time required for completing the reg process.

Hi @rickgoz,

I have bought from my freelance a plugin that remove login choice on signup. It generate an username “user43fr53hzet56….” for each new member.
After activation, in user account, each user can change this username only ONE TIME on what he want, to have better user slug. User page can be catch with http://example.com/auto_username, AND http://example.com/custom_username by auto insert on .htaccess
If user missed something and want change again his username, you have just to delete the user line in the plugin table.

I think this plugin with “email login” plugin should make you happy.

As I am not php coder, I can’t assume any support for this. But if someone want update this plugin…

That’s the idea. Interesting that he chose to use an MD5 hash of the email. He describes some of the challenges. I’d also add that it modifies your URL since many URL use the username. So http://domain.com/profilename would become http://domain.com/uglyMD5hash There might be other things. Test and see.

I’d say this is hard. I think i saw someone who did something close to this where they basically took the email address and then just cut out the first part of the email to use as the username. Of course, then you have to deal with overlapping usernames if both are john@… Sorry I don’t remember where the thread is that talked about it. The problem I see with doing this is that the username is used so many other places that just taking one based on the email is a bit awkward for the user experience imho.

After searching Google for hours I found your post, and was happy at least someone had the same issue.
Have you found a solution?
–> I found the same file and I have exactly the same issue –> and even though I added a text on my registration page right after that profile field to please add the http:// , many users still just type in www
–> hence their website link becomes a mixture of my mainblog and their address and their link doesn’t work, due to the this part I guess
in the “else” where the Members Slug is added. (I was thinking of just removing it, but I’m not sure)

I am not a developer and on my journey I found a solution in order to get rid of all profile links which didn’t make sense either but the issue with the website still remains. Maybe you found a solution and you can share it? I’d be really thankful.

Here is what I found in order to get rid of the profile links, thanks to Jeff Sayre:
1) add a file named bp-custom.php just to your plugins folder
2 ) with the content that I can’t insert here unfortunately but from the first post of Jeff Sayre on this link:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-autolinking-on-profile-fields/?topic_page=2&num=15

That did it for me!

If your case is that uploaded avatar is not be displayed but Gravatar is, see the following topic and try my post:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/avatars-of-member-not-showing-in-all-blogs

You’ll need to turn on registration in the admin panel and then the registration page will appear. Anything could be done to the profiles. It’s all about adjusting the theme to include the things you mention.

Great, there is a solution for my problem!
But, what is it?

Thanks

we are having a similar problem. it started happening a few days ago. we’ve installed all updates and tried changing the registration settings on the option page but nothing seems to be working.
thoughts?

I solved the issue by deleting BuddyPress from wp-content/plugin directory, and re uploading it. Good luck everyone!

To add a friend, simply navigate to a member profile you want to become friends with and click on the “Add Friend” button. The requested member gets an email notification asking whether or not to accept the friendship.

Please go and test BuddyPress thoroughly on http://testbp.org, then come back here for any help.

For blogs, you need to enable WordPress’ network mode:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

When you have that setup, BuddyPress automatically detects this and adds a blog directory. There should be a button to create a blog on that page as well as on the registration page.

(Sidenote: me thinks we need a BP codex article to setup the blogs component)

To customize the welcome email, try Paul Gibbs’ Welcome Pack plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/

Why not block their emails?

Hi Everyone – I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for but this is what I did! And NO coding required! lol

Under Buddypress Componet Setup enable the Group Settings. Now go to your profile page and set up as many groups as you like. Then use the Buddy Press Registrations Groups the author page is this – http://hardlyneutral.com/wordpress-plugins/ this will have the groups show up on the registration page and they will be asked to select which group they are a FAN of.

If you want you can go to the Editor Page or your FTP or Cpanel for that Plugin and on this page: buddypress-registration-groups-1/includes/bp-registration-groups.php scroll down to you see where it says Fan of and check one or more areas of interest and chance it to whatever your website needs are.

I hope this helps.

Another great plugin is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-member-filter/ When you put brackets [ ] around any word in your profile it makes it a link to all other members that have that word or phrase linked. So when you click on it all members with that link come up on a list.
Here is a example I use on my directions page for creating their profile.

[Hair Stylist]

I am a [Hair Dresser] [Beauty Salon] owner I offer [Hair Cuts] [Perms]

[Hair Coloring] [Hair Highlighting] [Braiding] and other misc [Hair Care] services.

I am available Monday – Thursday for appointments only.

Again I hope this helps someone!

Hi

thanks in advance

@tandinh – Read this:

Yeah, that is nearly for sure a hosting / smtp problem…

@darrin365
