Yes it does Mike
Thanks for getting in touch. I’m getting to that file right now 
Will let you know!
I guess it just redirects you to the front page, right?
If so, edit bp-core/bp-core-signup.php. Find lines 78-80 and comment them. It’s funny because in line 77 there is a comment saying that this situation doesn’t naturally occur, but they still check it… well, it’s the way Buddypress is written.

Just posting here, to keep this fresh. This is a serious problem for me, and I’d really appreciate help.
A social networking site is pretty useless if no-one can register
@rondilly I was eager to test your solution, but it does the opposite of what you propose. It will make it so ONLY BANNED DOMAINS can register. Essentially, you are defining limited domains (“If you want to limit blog registrations to certain domains.”) with the banned email domain list.
@wordpresschina – Thanks for the suggestion, this is exactly what I was looking for. I really do not understand one thing. Why when someone wants to register they get redirected to the Buddypress version of the registration, but when someone wants to login they go to the standard WP login page? Maybe there is something wrong with my install 
Unfortunately, I am importing very basic information so I am not having the same issues as you. The only “special” info I am importing is for s drop down selecting menu. It should be noted that it does not force matching, meaning if the field requires 1 – 10 and the CSV file has 12, it will import the 12. The import only really matches up the columns. FYI… if you type something wrong in the top row like Website instead of “company website” the import will actually create a new xprofile field.
Hope this helps (or at least answers some questions.
Thanks. just to be clear since I’m still figuring it out, I’d be editing each of the php files in the BP template pack with this body tag, that is, the files at the bottom of the post? or am I adding it to the bp.css CSS file in the Buddypress Template Pack directory? Thanks

Hi
No, Welcome Pack won’t let you create or change which email address the activation emails are sent to.
Nice find Zachary. I wouldn’t recommend changing that file since it will get overwritten when you upgrade BP. Instead just use the bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to filter to change it to your email.
Figured this out, finally. Turns out that the file and function to modify was:
wp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-corebp-core-filters.php
–>function bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification( $user, $user_email, $key, $meta )
Isn’t it redundant to have two functions so similar to each other? Both the above function and
wp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-corebp-core-signup.php
–>function bp_core_signup_send_validation_email( $user_id, $user_email, $key )
are extraordinarily similar to each other. It’s kinda frustrating.
I’d consider developing a plugin, but perhaps I’ll wait for the first release of WP 3.0.
@etiviti, Is there a way to change the code you have provided on your website to send emails to the new user instead of the admin?
Does welcome pack override the default email sent at user registration to the new user or does it send a separate message?
@DJPaul Any way of modifying your Welcome Pack plugin to accomplish what I want? In addition to this BuddyPress post, I’ve created on here, too:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/407338?replies=1
@crashutah Yes, Welcome Pack will work that way. The extra work for me to activate is, however, annoying as you presumed.
@vanmurray Manual Member Approve will also work. But I still have to manually send an e-mail back to the user containing their username and password. One more step that I’d like to avoid.
Temporarily, either of those solutions will work. However, I still think that simply sending the activation e-mail/url to the admin(s) would be the best solution for me.
I’ve got a very small extension to get this figured out how I would like. If I cannot get help, or figure it out on my own, then I’ll have to use of these two brute-force methods.
So, still looking for help on how to get the activation e-mails sent to the admin(s) instead of the corresponding user after registration. Thanks everyone.
@DJPaul I never asked you to release any new version & also never mentioned any download stats!
I did ask @ffemtkl if he knew if the plugin worked on 1.2.4.1 to which he kindly replied above.
@thekmen
Yes, Welcome Pack works fine on 1.2.4.1. You really want me to release a whole new version which will force everyone to re-download it just because I’ve updated the version compatibility numbers in the readme.txt? I’m not that bothered about the download counter 
@thekmen – Yes, I am currently using it on 1.2.4.1
I would like to know this also. On my regular blog i used Registration Plus plugin, and that added a captcha, but It doesnt work on wpmu and buddypress.
I modified the “Manual Approve” plugin by Matt Kern to work with BuddyPress (don’t think he published it to the WordPress repository). I think that may be your answer to approving manually. Just put it in mu-plugins.

Yep, I just tried the Welcome Pack and you can remove the link and change the email that way and it sends to the user.
So, then you can just manually pull the activation key from the database using PhpMyAdmin or something and append it to a url like this: http://yourdomain.com/activate?key=KEY-FROM-DATABASE
Since you’re using WPMU, BP just basically calls the WPMU user creation (see lines 320-321 in bp-core-signup.php). So, you’re going to have to mod the WPMU signup functionality to get the emails to send right.
Another temp option is to try the Welcome Pack plugin which allows you to modify the activation email that users get (I haven’t tried to take the link out, but it seems possible). That would solve the email they get.
Then, you could build a plugin to activate the users. Until then, you can just copy the activation key out of the database using phpmyadmin and browse to the URL yourself. Far from ideal, but the Flintstone way if you’re in a time crunch and need to get by until you can get a plugin.
I’ve searched through most of the current BuddyPress plugin files and I have yet to find anything containing activation content like bp-core-signup.php. However, after those changes I initially made I really expected it to work. How does registration using WPMU 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.4 work?
I’m really under a time crunch and looking for some help. Thanks for hearing me out.
Decided to try bp-registration-options plugin. Flagged errors… I found the following discussion about this. It’s from 1+ month ago….

I still think that the easiest thing to do would be to simply change the activation e-mail from being sent to the user to the admin(s) instead.
Help please!
