BuddyPress.org

Not sure it will be that simple you may have to loop out the whole section in other words replicate the code that the line refers to but changing the id for the newly copied code so you then had all groups being displayed.

To be honest unless there is real compelling reason for a new group of fields I would simply add the new field to the ‘Base’ group. If it’s important for registration I think it’s better added to the base group and set to ‘required’.

The registration page is set up thusly:

if ( bp_has_profile( 'profile_group_id=1' ):

profile_group_id=1 being the primary or base group

See a similar discussion here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-manage-users-their-extended-profiles/

not ideal… but may help for the time being (at least get to the buddypress profile page to perform the edits)

this will add a ‘view bp’ link to the buddypress profile when viewing the user list within the dashboard

It was installed directly to the domain with a /city after it. It is not my primary account, but it lists as just the domain name. so in my case it is not 12gates.citywidesites.com, but 12gates.net .It is an add-on domain

Ok, I see that WP and BP have been instaled in http://www.12gates.net/city (btw, do upload an empty index.html to 12gates.net as anyone could see your files/folders there). If you want to allow open registration, go to your admin dashboard’s Settings > General Settings and enable Membership – Anyone can register.

@jens this line:
bp_core_load_template("/registration/login",true);

Is the reference to the file that you would like to load for the login page. For instance, this file would be wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/registration/login.php.

Also, if this file doesn’t exist then it will always redirect the user to the homepage.

I am not aware of any plugins that do this. You also should be doing this with PHP and not with JS, as this can be deactivated in the browser. There should be various hooks that let you validate stuff on registration or whenever.

i’m interested in finding out about possible options. i believe that your issue could be solved using the WPMU Default User Role plugin. this allows you to assign a default blog (could be any id) for new registrations, but for example you cant seem to be able to go in a blog and register for the specific blog only, you get a ‘site registration’ instead

@hnla @r-a-y Thanks guys

Doesn’t something like this already exist?

Secure Invites for WPMU (not standard WP)
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/

There should be other similar types of plugins as well.

Just do a search in the WP plugin repository.

I would LOVE to have a plugin like this too. Let me know if you run across something. Would like to be able to set how many invitations each new user gets to send out to other potential users.

The issue of spam registration and posting is well discussed. If you want to learn more about some proposed measures, please read this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/here-come-the-spammers/

@stwc and everyone else.

I’ve been experiencing problems with spammers constantly, I would get about 11 a day, (at the minimum). I’ve tried several things, reCaptcha, email activation, email domain blocking, etc etc and nothing seemed to help with the bot spammers.

All they were doing was creating users with a few profile fields filled out, so there was no big issue, it was just annoying seeing so many fake users on the site.

So all I did out of the suggestions here was enter the code provided for the .htaccess file :

# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .yourbpsignupslug*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yourhomedomain.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://die-spammers.com/ [R=301,L]
# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION

And it seemed to have worked. For the signup slug, I used wp-signup.php. And so far, for about a day and a half now I’ve only found 1 bot spammer. Drastically reduced, but not quite fixed.

But we’ll see. I’ll post back if there is any change, or after a few days of no spammers.

If someone could guide me through this I would be eternally grateful…noob you see.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/ working in BP 1.2.3 @3sixty

It blows my mind that this is not a core feature of WPMU, WP, or BuddyPress. It is the most obvious first defense against sploggers and spammer-members.

There is a plugin called Pie Registration that claims to do user moderation of unverified users before they are allowed to post. It seems to be a resurrection of an older (discontinued?) plugin called Register Plus. Find it here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pie-register/

Will check it out now.

EDIT: It says that the feature “Moderate all user registrations to require admin approval” will only work when Email Verification is DISABLED. I can’t get it to work, though.

Also found this:
“Register Plus plugin seemed to be working fine in 2.9.2, with custom logo and all, but now I’ve just discovered that it only sends the registration email if the registration is done in IE. In Firefox or Chrome the mail is not sent. How can this be?”
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/376015

If not developed yet, anyone come across a plugin for this? I”d alos would love to only auto approve registration but only manually approve blog creation
