BuddyPress.org

http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-profile-setup (replace yourdomain.com with your domain)

That’s the page where you can add more fields that people can fill out at registration and will appear in the person’s profile.

I have this same problem with my BuddyPress installation. I searched these forums for the solution, if any, saw this and tried to apply it. I do not see the option for “Tick the box next to ‘membership – anyone can register’.”

Where is it?

I’m with you 100% on the privacy policy actually.

Not sure about the hyperlinks in localization file would have thought not, but did just check out of curiosity and the text string that is editable in admin will actually take markup, doesn’t strip it out so you could enter links directly, but also would have thought it shouldn’t be too difficult to modify the plugin to take another link.

What does Traveljunkies checkbox do ?

Can it not simply be reworded to say something like:

“By checking this box you are accepting the terms and conditions of this site and acknowledge that you are over 18 and have read the privacy statement”

Although you don’t really need to have users read a privacy statement which is really there to cover you in pseudo legal manner.
Reading the T&C’s is more important.

The checkbox is simply an overt explicit action that a user must take in order to be able to proceed further with registration. In theory you can say what you please and selecting the checkbox simply acknowledges what’s written.

@intimez
Saw your ticket on Trac. Can you give some more info on your setup? What kind of file (jpeg, gif, png, etc)? PHP version? Windows or Linux server? Browser/browser version? There is what seems to be a similar/related report of this issue here (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/ie8-cant-crop-avatar-last-step-of-registration-for-buddypress-1-2-5/) using IE8.

What do you have listed in your first profile group?

And yes, Paul is correct, you can modify the registration template in your child theme — /registration/register.php — to add additional groups. You just have to modify two lines in that template for this to work.

Or, you can make the appropriate changes to the bp-default/registration/register.php template file in your (child) theme. Let us know if you need a pointer for that.

Did you create separate profile groups? If so, only the first profile group will be displayed on the registration page.

If you want to add all fields to the registration page, you have to add them all to the first profile group.

Locking this as the last two comments are not relevant to the OP.

@dancunningham, @suzettekussnercom –

Please direct yourselves to this thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/registration-process-how-to-remove-the-activation-email-process/

Welcome Pack will also do this in next version; I’m working with @crashutah on it. (end plug, hehe).

Use the BP Disable Activation plugin by @crashutah –

Make sure you add a captcha plugin or some type of spam prevention!

I also have the same problem as u Ky, but Im running it on a local server. I also check my email account and there are no whatsoever emails from bp after I finished filling up the form in the registration, do we need to run bp online to test it, although there is an online demo, i need to check it b4 doing it on an actual online site?? BTW, It also shows up in my dashboard’s users.

Also, I wanted to ask if BP needs to have MU enabled?? Im using it in wordpress 3 (they say it has MU in it also) and buddypress.1.2.5.
I tried using Buddypress on wordpress 3 (wwithout enabling mu) and it works fine and the only prob was that the registration doesn’t work the way it did like when I register here at BP forum.

I hope someone can help us with the problem. Thanks to u all.. ^_^V
Really sorry if this is a super newbie question..

I would start by disabling the plugins you’re using on the registration page.
You have at least three plugins running, a captcha, a math Q+A and a terms of use plugin. One of them could be the problem.

Also techguy’s suggestion is good. Revert the changes you made to register.php so it’s using the default one.

I was having this same issue, and this awesome guy linked to a plugin for me. Check out my original post with his link in it: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-can-i-better-filter-spam-users-on-my-buddypress-site/

The nice thing about the plugin is that is also lets you ask users if they want to join your MailChimp email newsletter list when they sign up.

I am so looking forward to not having to deal with hundreds of spam users now!

I’m pretty new to Buddypress and WordPress. Launched my first site today with 95% of the “i can’t find my registration” emails solved by directing them to their spam folders. But beyond that I have three that can’t find their email, say it’s not in their spam folder, and I need to get em in. Opened phpadmin and didn’t see a “wp_signsup” listing. Checked out “wp_users” and found user_activation_key and there’s a list of 30 things and two of them have keys next to them. They’re different keys. How do I know which one to use? And how exactly do I use it. Do I go to the mydomain.com example url above and enter this key and then that gets them in? Or do I give them the key and they do that? Any insights most appreciated.
