BuddyPress.org

wp3 sends new registration password emails without problem on bluehost – simplescripts or manual setup… until buddypress is installed. It then stops.
Problems with such a fundamental part of the software doesnt bode well for buddypress – Im starting to think it was better to just cough up the money to Ning.com and save the stress, grey hairs and months of leisure time likely lost.

Will try the mail from plugin but if other long roundabout fixes are required to send an email friom buddypress its not worth the trouble.

I have the same problem, IE8 doesn’t display the crop tools with an uploaded avatar image. The crop tool works fine in Firefox and Safari. Have you ever solved this issue, I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere on the forum?

Thanks

Looks good, but I got the following errors at the “accept-invitation” link you posted:

Warning: Division by zero in /home/givingsp/public_html/wp-content/themes/fishbook-buddypress-buddypack/registration/register.php on line 359

How do I redirect to the wordpress login page and not the buddypress registration page? I want to create all the user accounts myself and prevent random people registering for my site. Thanks!

I agree it’s the wrong way around. I’m advertising my own plugin here, but what I have done on some sites is use the Welcome Message part of Welcome Pack to send a private message to the new user and to say hello and remind them to complete their profile / picture, etc.

And I was wondering just the opposite: is it possible to disable the uploading of avatars until the account is confirmed via the confirmation email? It seems whack to allow file uploading before someone has confirmed their registration.

Turn on registration in the BP or WP admin (depending on how you installed it.

One thought: use plugin: BP Disable Activation, to remove the step of email activation altogether. You should still be able to get users’ emails when they sign up. I use SI CAPTCHA at registration to filter spam. My site is still in development, no users, so I can’t speak to these issues for you. Just a though as I said. Good luck.

This is addressed 100 times on here. You have to enable registrations to make it stop redirecting. In the admin it’s under General->Settings for WP and under Options for WPMU.

@gottowik – well done. Looks awesome. How did you get the re captcha to work on the registration page? Care to share?

Interesting way to get to the registration page with just the username. I also like how you dealt with the only lowercase username issue. You might also check out this solution that r-a-y put together: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2207

Page looks pretty good, but as you said in your blog, I’m not sure it completely communicates your message of what the site can do for new users.

I am having this problem too! Extremely frustrating…new users are complaining they can’t log in. They are in limbo, marked as spammers because the confirmation email never went out. We noticed if I as an admin delete their account and tell them to re-register, they then get the email and complete the process successfully. (??)

I’ve just experienced this and have come up with a fix:

function custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu() {
global $bp;

if ( is_user_logged_in() )
return false;

$redirecturl = $bp->root_domain . '/wp-login.php?redirect_to=' . urlencode( $bp->root_domain ) . esc_url( $_SERVER );
echo '
' . __( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ) . '

';

// Show "Sign Up" link if user registrations are allowed
if ( bp_get_signup_allowed() ) {
echo '
' . __( 'Sign Up', 'buddypress' ) . '

';
}
}
remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2 );
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2 );

Drop that into your functions.php file.

It’s the same as the standard function except it appends the $bp->root_domain with $_SERVER.
I’m not sure if this is a feature or something that’s been overlooked and needs reporting in trac. Also on different servers I’ve had differing results with php $_SERVER based stuff so I’m not sure if it will work everywhere. It works on the server I’m using anyway.

I think this option should come back. Because I want to add e.g. Country field to the registration page. I have to add the countries one by one… How can I do that without losing time? With that option of course… We want that option back

Hey hachimaki,

Your needs would need to be custom-coded. When a user creates a blog, they have the option to select its privacy. A possible solution involves checking if the blog in question is private; if so redirect to the registration page, if not, leave open to public.

Actually it is possible to bypass BP registration using the wp_insert_user() function.
It *should* be possible by overriding the /registration/register.php template file in your child theme. But all the good stuff like activating an account would be gone. However, you say you want to use WP’s registration system? Would require a BP core hack I believe.

Changing the BP_ROOT_BLOG wouldn’t do a thing since BP is activated network-wide.
