Hi there, I’m thinking you must have fixed this as I’m not getting any issues connecting to your registration page.
Hello, I am trying again here since no one got back to me.
I cannot get buddy press to email the activation email upon registration!
I have tried deactivating all plugins.. no difference.
Event Manager and WP SMTP Mail both had no problem sending me test emails.
I tried activating a different theme.. Theme Seventeen as suggested. No difference.
I have even tried adding the code I found through out other people’s support questions around the same issue. None are making any difference. Adding WP SMPT Mail. No difference.
I am not a programmer so I could really use some guidance, if you need me to pay to get an answer I will. I NEED HELP.
Thank you
Thank you for your responses.
@Venutius, the problem stops as soon as I deactivate BuddyPress.
Chris, indeed I’m using the BP Registration Options Plugin. Kindly share the fix.
Thank you.
Dear Buddypress Folks,
I am using WP (5.1.1, Buddypress 4.3.3, php 7.0, KLEO newest release)
My registration page (with or without the kleo_register shortcode does not load properly). It says there are too many redirects or it redirects to the home page. It also says it might be because of rejected cookies.
It was working properly previously. It might have gone wrong with the latest updates (kleo, buddypress or wp). I did the wp update to 5.1 recently. That was the last update I did.
But I do have a staging site where everything works properly. Same php, same wp, same bp, same kleo running.
So I wonder can it be really something with the cookies?
Here is the login page on staging site: https://tesztoldal.vegarandi.hu/regisztracio/
Here is the login page on the live site: Site URL: https://vegarandi.hu/regisztracio
I have created a new reg page, it does load now in Firefox. And when I hit the registration button, it gets into the redirect loop again. Also, I had a registration form with extended options, so users can accept terms an condition, I need their age etc. This extended form does not load either on the live site.
What I have done:
– refresh permalinks
– checked if anyone can register
– turned to basic WP theme
– turned of firewall, caching plugin
– created new reg page
– cleaned browser cache, tried different browsers
I am running out of ideas.
Please help me out!

I want to remove the “Confirm Password” input from the BP registration form. That way, new users can just enter their password once and sign up faster.
I can hide “Confirm Password:” with CSS, but then the form validation will find the field empty.
The best way to resolve this, I think, is to automatically copy whatever the user typed in the 1st password field over to the confirm password field – either as they type it, or when they click “Finished.”
Has anyone done this? Tried it? How did it work out? How did you do it?
Thanks.
Hi,
I had a similar redirect problem that was caused by the plugin BP Registration Options. The guys in Pluginize support were brilliant though and we found a solution. If you’re using that plugin I’m happy to share the fix.
Cheers

It appears from the comments on Invite Anyone Plugin that you need to have user registrations enabled or no one can register at all.
But I’ll test it, will be good if it works, thanks.
You can turn off user registrations in Settings>>General then I believe you can add the Invite Anyone plugin to allow members to invite others, you’d then need to add the invite anyone widget in a way that it only displays for admin. It’s doable, with a bit of work.
I want to create a private Buddypress network, the admins will send email invitations to the members. No one can register unless they receive an email invitation.
Is there a setting or plugin that will allow this, or is there a workaround to create this such as password protecting the registration page?
Alternatively the admins could create the member account and an email would be send to the member with their username/password. In this case I could simple close user registrations in the settings, correct?
Thanks.
How do I prevent spam accounts from trying to register on my buddy press site?
Thanks
Yes I’d say it can, BP has Hidden and PRivate groups, which means only invited site members can join. For added security you can install BP Registration Options which would allow you to vet all new site members and a privacy plugin such as BP Members Only would make doubly sure of the overall privacy of the site. Search engines won’t see anything since they are not members of the site and those pages will only be available to view by site members who have been invited to join the group. Also, if an existing member wee to turn troll, it’s a lot easier to ban then from the platform entirely.
@vapvarun Is there a way to password protect the registration page so that only those with a password can register? Our BuddyPress instance is invite only. Please advise
Hi, I have set up the Aardvark Theme with Buddypress, and for some reason the activation email is not being sent. I have tried several times. Any idea what I need to do? Thanks.

Hello, while I’ve gotten the site to fail a registration with an incorrect number using what you suggested above, it doesn’t display any error message of sorts. My line is: $bp->signup->errors['invalid_number'] = __( 'Please enter a valid phone number', 'buddypress' ); This is in my bp-custom.php class, in the function that gets added to the hook bp_signup_validate, when an incorrect phone number is determined. The site properly fails a registration with an incorrect number, while allowing registration with a correct one, but it doesn’t display any error pop up at all, even though I included an error message of sorts with the latter half of the line. Is this a code issue, or could this potentially be a theme issue? I’m using the Spacious theme if this helps
I wan to throw a custom error message when a user enters an incorrect phone number that isn’t in the proper syntax, and thus failing the registration as a whole, how exactly do I define this as well as call it? I’d assume I have to do this in the bp-custom.php class, but what function do I have to call to do so, or how do I create an error message in general?
@mytubepress …Unfortunately that plugin does not show under Appearance Menus….
@venutius The Registration is visible when I log in so is the log out menu….there is a PHP/link option where I can add PHP code and link in the MenuBar Plugin….but when I copied the code that I already have in place in my function theme file it crashes my site….does any one have a fix for this to hide the Registration menu and login menu …WHEN LOGGED IN
Thanks

Hello…
I figured it out…somewhat….the only thing that don’t work correctly is the logic where when the user logs on the registration stays, it’s not hidden….
Hi,
Thanks for your reply….but I already have a horizontal mobile menu and it looks great, the problem is getting the registration and the log in menu items to work when they are clicked on.
I am looking the same built in BuddyPress navigation functionality that’s built in WordPress to work in my custom menu when users click on the Registration menu and the Log in menu.
Hello…
I am using Menubar plugin to build a customize menu instead of the WordPress menu, because it gives me a perfect horizontal mobile responsive menu.
Problem is I have logic built in my function theme file that hide the registration menu when users are logged in and the logon menu is hidden when users are logged in.
I would like the actual navigation code links that BuddyPress uses for the Registration and Login Pages.
Thanks
Naomi
You definitely don’t want to have two sets of registration data.
I think the problem is that I’m using the MemberPress plugin with BuddyPress and it’s defaulting to the MemberPress registration field. I did have it set up to default to the BuddyPress registration field. I want to go back to the BuddyPress registration but I don’t know how.
Hi there,
In Users>>Profile Fields there is the default Base profile Field Group. The fields are included in the Registration form inputs, if you make any of these required the user can’t sign up unless they fill them out.
You can create other field groups, but the fields on these are not included in the registration page and would need to be filled out after registration.
At the front end, site users viewing the page sitename.com/members/username/profile, There user can edit these fields by accessing the age sitename.com/members/username/edit.
As an admin you can view these details by going to the Users page in admin, for each user there is an Extended link which allows you to view and edit the users Extended Profile (xProfile).
When you are editing the profile field there’s a setting to Autolink the profile field, this should include it in the Members search.
To determine if it is an issue related to your theme, please try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2019 and then checking the registration page.
Please remember that you need to be logged out to see the register page.
I am involved with a youth sports organization and we are looking for ways to collect form data and paperwork for our participants. Many of our parents have more than one child involved and we would like to collect information for each athlete without having to associate each athlete with a separate email address. I am looking for plugins that might help us with this.
We would collect both electronic form data and attachments of scanned paper documents.
Thanks for any ideas.
