@jvoss — are any of your fields required? If so, are they actually forcing users to fill them out?

I was able to add my 2nd and 3rd profile fields to registration, but the “required” fields can be bypassed without filling them out.

Well things were all good for a month, now I am getting slammed every night from 2-6am.

Can someone confirm this is correct (if my site were ebay.com and my registration page was myslug)…
‘
# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .myslug*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*ebay.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://die-spammers.com/ [R=301,L]
# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
‘

Reading back a page or two this is supposed to redirect attackers, I tried entering myURL?something=something but it doesn’t do anything. How can I test this to make sure it working?

Thansk.

I’am with the same problem, when and user try to acess the registration page it redirect to “adress.com/?bp_pc_redir_to=register”

Anyone know how to solve? Alredy try to remove some addons like S2 Member, but still doesn’t working

I’m using Manually approve plugin for this. It’s not in the wordpress gallery but works on MU. My only problem is that I get thise error with bp themes:” Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_page_title() in /home/thebaman/public_html/wp-content/themes/custom-community/header.php on line 11″ Any suggestions? Here’s the plugin link : http://mattkern.com/wpmu-manually-approve-new-members-on-local-install/

I joined it, and downloaded it – but have yet to use it.. apparently the plugin requires a “phone home” to one of the wpmu dev computers every time someone or some spammer tries to sign up – and you need to have a current subscription to their premium service in order for that part to work… I asked in their forums (as a paid current member) if the other parts of the plugin will still work if I discontinue my monthly paid subscription to wpmu dev premium – and I got no response about that.. so I have yet to install it – as I can not see paying every month for the rest of my life…

there has also been discussion about using the plugin to go through all of your past members and looking for splogers – and apparently it will not work for that – only for new signups…

Right now my hope is that bp-registration options ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/ ) will incorporate some of the tricks from TTC ban hammer ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ban-hammer/changelog/ )and that the buddypress code will actually make it easier for us stop spmmers – right now buddypress ignores wordpress’ ban email domain features – and that just sucks – the bp registration options stops about 80% of the spammers from being able to post – but there is something in the BP code that lets some of them scoot right through, even with hashcash plugin, SI captcha plugin, and the BP registration Options running – buddpress wastes about 3 hours a week of my time simply deleting sploggers… but hey there are new features coming soon right? LOL

S2Member is not the problem.. Unless you do not use the regular BuddyPress signup option and only allow people to signup through a S2Member registration form.

The avatar upload step should always appear. You might have a jQuery conflict but even then you should SEE the upload process, you just would not be able to crop your avatar after upload.

As for the usernames, I just added a note to the field that appears on registration. When people are signing up, and that mandatory username field pops up, I make sure users know that this is visible to the entire community. That way they know not to use something private. Most internet users know all about usernames, right?

Check out the template file `register.php`, located in `buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php`. You have a couple possible strategies:

1) Copy register.php to your child theme and add hidden inputs directly in the markup
2) Hook to one of the many do_actions littered through the code to add your fields. Eg
`function bbg_add_reg_field() {
echo ”;
}
add_action( ‘bp_before_registration_submit_buttons’, ‘bbg_add_reg_field’ );`

Then you’ll have to catch the data being sent. I recommend doing something like this
`function bbg_grab_reg_data() {
if ( isset( $_POST ) ) {
// do something with the custom data
}
}
add_action( ‘bp_complete_signup’, ‘bbg_grab_reg_data’ );`

I would like to know if there is ANY way to add code to the registration page ( /register )

I want to include code that will automatically take information from the /register page and have it not only register the person on my buddypress site, but also to another site located on another domain.

I have the code that will do what I want, but I can not figure out how to insert it into the “FORM” of the /register page. BuddyPress does not give you a way to add a profile “field” to the registration page that is “hidden” and I need to include a hidden tag into the registration form.

ANY Suggestions???

You can’t bypass usernames altogether, as they’re needed for (among other things) BP URLs like example.com/members/boonebgorges/profile. But you could autogenerate them from the user’s fullname. You’d need to hijack the registration process by filtering ‘bp_core_validate_user_signup’, unsetting the error that comes from not having a username, and then generate your own username with a bit of PHP. I’ve done specialized versions of this for clients, but a more generalized one would make for a nice plugin. Any volunteers?

Pretty easy. Just create some custom registration fields for each of the categories you want to collect. You can make them mandatory if you want, too.

Then to make things private you can use the BuddyPress Private Community plugin, and that would prevent prying eyes from seeing things they shouldn’t.

Your site isn’t allowing registrations Which permalink structure did you define? What is defined for the following values:
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘domain.com’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
(check your wp-config.php)

@davewoodbridge – I’m having them same problem – well except that I just get a white screen after signup rather than 404. The registration goes through alright but the user is not added to my mailchimp list.

I’m thinking it must not be compatible with BP 1.2.6. Does anyone have any ideas. @Travel-Junkie – any chance of looking into the problem?

Its a really cool plugin but the main reason I want it is to integrate the signup with Mailchimp.

Thanks,
Andrew.

1 – Make sure you have multisite enabled. https://codex.wordpress.org/Tools_Network_SubPanel
2 – Enable creation of new sites in the “Registration settings” section under “Super Admin” > “Options”

@commentluv – if you want the blogs to be subdomain structure as in newblog.domain.com, doesn’t matter where you install BP, what’s important is that you must install WP in main domain and set up WP to create a network using subdomain structure.

What happens when BP_ROOT_BLOG is set to 1, or your default domain.com blog?

Also, what do you have set for DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE? Is it set to domain.com??

I am just searching for an answer to this too. anyone have an idea?
I want all blogs that are created to be a subdomain on the root domain, not a subdomain of the subdomain

Clearly something is very much not correct is it (the error isn’t just with registration link but all links)? have you taken any steps to rectify the issue that we ought to know about that might help us help you or that we can rule out as potential causes?

There are some pretty standard stock responses given in cases like this to troubleshoot issues that you will see in many posts here.

Fist and most importantly disable BP your site must first work correctly with WP i.e permalinks, when that is established then activate BP but BP only! check if problem is manifest if it is then navigate to the permalinks page doing so flushes caches so check again , still not working? revisit permalinks page change settings and save confirm that you can actually write to the .htaccess file do you see instruction that WP could not save to .htaccess and then list the details that need to go in the file?

if WP and BP work as expected start activating any plugins one by one checking every time to see if problem arises so that if it is a plugin you know which one caused the issue.

I suspect that this is a plugin issue, but those steps above should help you narrow down where the issue is if not correct it.

OK…I read through the codex…but it still doesn’t solve my problem of why when I click on register, it directs me back to a home page.

Most likely you are logged into your site when you are trying that address. I was able to reach your registration page with the link http://exaholics.com/register/

I too, am looking to simplify/modify the registration page. I would like to control the fields, is there a plugin for this? I would like to remove the email as a required field. I’m running the default BuddyPress theme. Can anyone help with this? I just want username and password. I have used CIMY Extra Fields, but it seems to not appear in BuddyPress installations, and it does not allow for removing the default fields. If anyone can also tell me how to force avatar or photo uplaod at registration, please post. Much appreciated, everyone.
