If you are on single wp, upgrade to wordpress Multisite.
Then you can limit it from Super Admin->Options->Limited Email Registrations

Then explain exactly what you can’t do. You say you have enabled registrations, then what happens when you are logged out and try one of the register links? do you not get the user new user form? if you have the form what happens when you complete and submit it? see where I’m going? we need as much detail as you can supply , we can’t necessarily guess at what may be wrong.

One thing to do is disable BP and ensure WP is working as expected in all respects before proceeding to add the BP layer to it, and also disable any other plugins that may be running and that are not necessary.

@TedMann – No, manually going to your signup page will not trip the spam alarm. Putting in the URL with all the submit stuff (like attempting to pass registration info via the URL instead of entering it like a human) will trip the alarm. What it’s checking for is the POST command, and was THAT passed through by your site. Otherwise no one would ever be able to sign up

I would use the s2member plugin to achieve what you want. It’s not so easy to setup as other plugins, but there’s lots of documentation that should get you started.

How do you get the registration box?

@zlamczyk and anyone else who finds this — to redirect activation email to admin….

function my_redirect_activation_email()
{
return get_site_option( “admin_email” );
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to’, ‘my_redirect_activation_email’);

I’m sure can be manipulated to plop user email in there.

The easiest thing to do is to copy registration/register.php from bp-default into your child theme. Search for the place where Sign Up Complete! appears, and put your additional paragraph after that.

? Disable the plugin!

Check the plugin group for answers or ask the question about the error in that group

However I would think that this plugin hasn’t been updated to work with WP 3.0 or BP stable but I might be wrong.

@zlamczyk 3 months late on this but what exactly did you do to that last snippet you posted? yes, it would get overwritten but I am in a bind just like you were. we’re doing an alumni-only social network and the email MUST be @alumni etc .edu and therefore hand approved…

and yep, bp registration options is crap! err, doesn’t work. but, we are using wp e-commerce members only module which means that if I can just stop the user self-activating, I am pretty much good to go – (plugin requires sign up as subscription is being purchased, and it sends that damned email!!!!)

if you happen to see this, thanks!!

@Tolden Do post in the plugin’s forums

Avatar upload forms appear in two places. One is registration/register.php, the other is members/single/profile/change-avatar.php. Create a child theme of bp-default (https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/) with those two files, and then edit the HTML to your heart’s content.

This is a WordPress limitation, which treats user registration in the same way.

Hi. I have found a solution to that no activation email has sent. Check this out http://www.thinkplexx.com/neokrates/fix-wordpress-and-buddypress-sendmail-problems-sign-up-complete-activate-your-account-via-the-email-but-email-doesnt-come

I actually used Google mail account. There in Google account settings also probably has to set that you use imap. I’m not sure of that. But now the activation email is sent and users can register.

@airrykah deactivate BuddyPress. It depends on your WordPress installation. Check if your install is sending out activation emails to those registering. Find resolution for your email problem at WordPress.org forums before activating BuddyPress.

If your WP activation email is working, deactivate any BP registration plugins and see if regular registration works.

Edit – there’s also a workaround, see if this works for you – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/faqs/specific-faqs/#register

Here’s a clue…

@Iain Manley

Sorry my workaround isn’t working as hoped… the easy solutions aren’t always the best

It’s not straightforward, but it is possible. You’ll have to replace bp_core_screen_signup() (where the value of $bp->signup->step is set) with your own custom function. You’ll need to do the following:
`remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_screen_signup’, 3 );`
to remove BP’s registration function, followed by
`remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘my_bp_core_screen_signup’, 3 );
function my_bp_core_screen_signup() { // etc`

Copy the contents of bp_core_screen_signup() into your custom function. Then start looking for the places where $bp->signup->step is set – that’s what you’ll need to mess with to modify the way that registration steps work.
