Hey guys,
I have been trying a lot but cannot find a working solution for my problem:
During registration, I don’t want the visitors to choose their own usernames. Instead I want them to have standardized ones, like 8-digit numbers so they all look like “24021515”,”24021516″, etc.
The reason behind this is the usage of the username while chatting on my buddypress site. The topic of the website is quite formal and I don’t want “crazy” usernames to be seen there.
Long story short: I have been trying to add functions in the bp_core_signup_user() but without success.
function custom_bp_core_signup_user($user_id, $user_login, $user_password, $user_email, $usermeta) {
// Check if user is now registered
if ($user_id) {
// Create some dynamic ID
$dynamic_id = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < 7; $i++) {
$dynamic_id .= rand(0, 9);
}
// I want all the usernames to start with a "1" and then add 7 random digits
$new_username = '1' . $dynamic_id;
// Update the user
wp_update_user(array('ID' => $user_id, 'user_login' => $new_username));
}
}
add_action('bp_core_signup_user', 'custom_bp_core_signup_user', 10, 5);
I have been trying this with the functions.php and with some selfmade plugin. Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot !
Hello,
Rename audio files based on user identifiers (e.g., “user_123.wav”).
Organize files in a dedicated folder.
Integrate the assignment process into user registration.
Store assigned file info in the database.
Implement playback in user profiles.
Test thoroughly for accuracy.
it will help.
function redirect_after_registration() {
return home_url( ‘/your-page-name’ ); // Replace ‘/your-page-name’ with the URL of the page you want to redirect users to.
}
add_filter( ‘registration_redirect’, ‘redirect_after_registration’ );
@locker17 yes, you can create registration pages like that after disabling BuddyPress Registration
Please check following thread of disable BP registration https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-edit-register-page-for-buddypress/#post-332492
Thanks for your answer.
Plz correct me if I am wrong. I am able to make a registration page with Elementorlike this instruction and redirect it after registration to the buddypress members page for example. Is that right?
@locker17, there is no option to edit BuddyPress Directory pages with Elementor like members Groups, Activity, or Registration.
For the login & 404 page, you can create a template for it, as it can be a regular page with an Elementor widget on it.
For registration pages, that’s template driven, and you need to override the template to make those changes, or you can also use some 3rd party plugins like Gravity Forms and WP Forms with their user registration addon to create custom registration forms.

Hi Varun,
I have now reinstalled the entire BuddyPress with all Plugins. Now I have only Buddypress 12.2 without BP Classic.
But I have a problem with restricted content. I want to restrict access to community directories only for users who have purchased in WooCommerce a specific membership, and exclude all, which have only registered on the Buddy-Press registration form.
I am working with WooCommerce Membership and added in the Dashboard > WooCommerce > Memberships > Membership Plan under the option “BuddyPress Directories” the directories for the community and aktivities. But it doesn’t work and doesn’t restrict the access to the content when anybody who has no assigned membership wants to open the community member list or activity-list.
When I assign a restricted content to different membership types it has not impact on the access to BuddyPress community and activity directories. BuddyPress only reacts on the difference of “logged in” or “not logged in”.
Best wishes

Hi @gomle
Thanks a lot for your feedback. About Notifications, I believe using the Notification Web API can improve your “pulling the user to the site” need.
Hi @oumz99
I agree we should look into import/export. To comply with GDPR, users can export the data they created on the site from their profile settings. But a more global tool would be great to easily develop BuddyPress themes or move community generated content to another site.
See & contribute to it there: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1058
Hi @bclaim
So do I! I totally agree with you. We need to rethink the Private Messages component/feature with the goal:
1. to make it a chat like system for member(s) to member(s) discussions as well as between group members discussions. What are channels in Slack could be groups in BuddyPress Private Messages. I’m looking carefully to the Block Editor live collaboration system as it may help us to reach this goal.
2. to move the Community wide notice feature outside of it.
@priyam1234
It should be the case. So it’s not an evolution to me but more a bug. I’ll look into it.
@everyone:
I’ll make sure to talk about it with other members of the BP Core Developers team during our next development meeting.
Here’s my 2 main wishes for 14.0.0:
– Review our different registration flows and allow Administrators to easily disable these BuddyPress registration flows.
– Build new BP Blocks along with a new BP Blocks only Theme to start using the WP Site Editor to customize our community area.
Dear Team,
I trust this message finds you well. I am encountering a compatibility issue between BuddyPress and my website, particularly on pages built using Divi (Ally theme). While other sections of the website function smoothly, the BuddyPress-integrated pages are experiencing disruptions, notably at the URL: https://kiero.tempurl.host/activity/.
Here are the relevant details:
WordPress Version: 6.4.2
BuddyPress Version: 12.2.0
Paid Memberships Pro – bbPress Add On Version: 1.7.4
RegistrationMagic Version: 5.2.5.9
WooCommerce Version: 8.5.2
Divi – Ally Child ThemeVersion: 1.5
I’ve tried troubleshooting independently, but the issue persists. It’s imperative to resolve this promptly to ensure seamless user interactions and community features.
Your expertise in addressing this specific compatibility issue between BuddyPress and Divi (Ally theme) would be greatly appreciated. Any guidance, updates, or troubleshooting steps you can provide are invaluable.
Thank you sincerely for your swift attention and assistance.
Best regards,

Will this help customise the whole look of the page? A plugin, Youzify, I believe may already allow to edit fields.
I’d like to customise all pages, register, change password, complete registration, etc.
It’s odd that Buddypress doesn’t allow that. How do people who use this plugin do it exactly? I’ve heard of people using the provided shortcodes, for people who use Ultimate Member.
What can someone using Buddypress do?
I have tried using a different plugin with Buddy Press before, Paid Member Subscriptions (by Cozmoslabs), and it did not integrate well. In fact, the problems that were caused by trying to integrate PMS and BuddyPress and MailPoet are the reason why I need to start my site over, redesigned, and I’m looking for a simple solution. The paid membership plugins do not allow me to collect snail mail addresses automatically upon registration (and we send things out by regular mail, so that’s important), and they also don’t really integrate into the whole newsletter thing (we have a newsletter that goes out monthly to paid members only)… And all of that doesn’t really integrate into the Member Galleries of BuddyPress. BuddyPress doesn’t make it easy to export data, either. So…
I think I may need to go with Ultimate Member, which integrates with my mail system and now has photo galleries available for individual members (so, something similar to BuddyPress’s galleries), much as I love the idea of BuddyPress.
I guess I am gun-shy, even though maybe integration with Paid Membership Pro could be better; the whole experience of trying to make BP and other plugins work together has been very trying. And we have limited money to spend on solutions.
@erisf it’s more like template driven; you can add additional fields to the registration field
Signup Fields
You can find the ref for template override here https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/
Will suggest checking for BuddyPress themes to avoid excessive work for template override and custom CSS
Hello, I’d like to customise the buddypress registration, login, etc pages (for instance /register, etc). I can’t find a page with that name in my page list, it isn’t there when editing the theme, and editing the fields under users isn’t enough for me.
I want to modify the APPEARANCE of the pages, along with the APPEARANCE of all other buddypress pages, like the modify/reset password pages, and everything else that’s needed for user registration.
Any help?

Hi @imath,
I have a similar / related issue. I’m using Restrict Content Pro’s registration page with the latest Buddypress version (12.1.1) on a staging site and my registration page broke. It told me “Member registration is currently not allowed”, even if I disable the buddypress plugin.
I tried the gist you posted https://gist.github.com/imath/c5c34feb5d3c9b3070f7a11bc339f103 in my child theme’s functions.php but the registration page still does not work. Any ideas?
*Update* – I read through the earlier post and found the first workaround – going to Buddypress Settings -> URLs, but did not see any option to change the register slug. I had to briefly turn on wordpress general settings “Anyone can register” so that more options would appear in “URLs”. I was able to set the slug to something else like ‘sign-in’ and that seemed to allow my RCP registration to function again.
Just to check, I disabled “Anyone can register”. Seems like the BP slug change stuck and my RCP registration is operational.
I installed a fresh BuddyPress 12.0 on WPMU 6.4.2 main site https://member.vayhub.org with default theme (2024).
The https://member.vayhub.org/register page is nowhere to be found, even when I set the network setting to “Both sites and user accounts can be registered”. I also tried to invite new users to register, but the “Accept your invitation” link doesn’t work either.
Please help.
Thanks,

Hello @ceraus
BuddyPress is overriding WordPress registration URL by default so that it is displayed into your theme instead of the wp-login.php file. From previous support topics on the same subject I’ve read some users were deleting the registration page BuddyPress was created to force the use of the WordPress registration page. This was a workaround that is not doing the trick anymore in BuddyPress 12.0.0.
Please see: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-12-0-0/page/8/#post-332709 for a way to disable the BP Registration flow.
Reinstalling BuddyPress can be necessary for various reasons, such as troubleshooting issues, updating to the latest version, or starting fresh with a clean installation. If you’re experiencing problems with reinstalling BuddyPress, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process to the US company registration
Hello!
The only things on are Buddypress and BuddyX theme; everything else is default. When disabled the correct /wp-login.php?action=register works fine, when enabled it does not. The registration page is set to “None” in buddypress. All custom code was removed (bp-custom.php) not sure what else I can try.
Hello,
Hmm, unsure how to diagnose this; but have an issue w/ buddypress not displaying the correct registration page. When disabled, it works (the default wordpress registration form), so it is either a plugin dependent on buddypress or buddypress itself. I tried setting the register page to none, and to the register page with a “Page to Link” plugin that sets it to the correct url ending in /wp-login.php?action=register but it still will not, any idea how I can fix this? It was fine before but not sure why it just stopped, I did migrate it from a local install and deployed it online
Any help would be very much appreciated
Hi @roberthemsing
Making the BuddyPress registration flows « deactivable » is something we’ll think of during next major version. In the meantime using this gist I was able to disable it.
@imath – is it possible to just disable the registration page/slug completely? We’re using Formidable Forms as a registration form for people to sign up to the website and the WordPress user accounts are linked to the BuddyPress profile anyways. Right now – with the slug being /register/ – we’ve created an actual page with the slug /register/ that hosts the Formidable Form which seems to overwrite the BuddyPress sign-up form. If I change the BuddyPress register slug settings to /sign-up/ it creates a new sign-up form which just messes up our profiles/website access. Otherwise I’d have to change the Formidable Forms registration slug to /sign-up/ as well and we’d have to create a redirect from /registration/ to /sign-up/ because the /registration/ slug is in use across the site and on other third party channels too.
