My site has S2Member and uses a custom BuddyPress registration form. The User is being created at Level 0 but no activation email is sent and the registration form doesn’t respond with anything. https://www.londondynamo.co.uk/register/
Versions installed:
WordPress 4.9.6 running 15zine Child theme.
BuddyPress Version 3.1.0
BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types Version 1.0.4S
s2Member Pro v170722
I’m not seeing anything in my php-errors log and my email log shows other emails going out just fine.
Suggestions on how I debug / fix this and where to look would be welcome.
gravity forms also allows multiple registration forms for different users types/sites, and group creation with custom forms
I noticed the registration, found anything useful?
hello,
have a function set up in my register.php that copies the user-supplied username (in the registration form,) copies it over to the “Display Name” field, and hides the display name field on the registration form. This way, whatever the user entered for username will automatically be used for his/her display name. (To avoid asking the user for a name 2 times!)
Would you like to do this? If so, I’d be glad to share my register.php file with you. Let me know. If this is not what you need, then please disregard this message.
Hi
Basically I did not ask the last name but imposed the first name.
I am not a GDPR specialist but I understand that most programs will not be able to change the programming structure.
It still remains that this can be included in the request for consent (on the other hand still no checkbox (with descriptif) native to the registration of a new member)
Hello,
I have create a new site, with BP and BP Members only because i wanted to validate the subscription. But it don’t work correctly.
I receive the email confirmation subscription but when i want to log as a user test, i entry my pseudo and password, it’s validate, but i don’t go to the site but to the page log-on of wordpress, as if i have to be a subscriber of wordpress. It’s not normal.
I try first to install Theme my login, but the registration page (name “register”) is in conflit with the register page native on BP (name “inscription”).
I don’t see what doesn’t matter !
Sorry for my english… I’m french.
WP 4.9.6 BP 3.1.0
When logged in as any member, Register Page does not load, goes straight to home page. Same with Activate Page. When logged in as admin, Register page appears blank, without registration form.

@dggerhart I was able to register for your site without a confirmation email and post “test” comment to your general group. Enabling email confirmation to register will help. Using a checkbox for your Privacy Policy GDPR compliance, is needed and will help too. I would give the Honeypot plugin a try on your staging site (disclaimer, I don’t use, and it’s old) but what it does is pretty simple so it could be ok. Admin notification of new users will help. Manually checking email addresses and questionable profiles (if you have more profile fields) will eliminate the obvious spammers and most are obvious. You can manually approve new users if that won’t be overwhelming. On a different note, you might want to block your dashboard access and you have some html tags displaying. Also a registration menu item (it was hard to figure out how to register) are some things I noticed too. I hope you find this helpful
Hi David,
This is very common problem that we all are facing with the Buddypress websites. The combination of registration process that I am using to stop it
1. I have enabled social login as it is very easy for users to login with almost no spam users. Every users is having a google or facebook account. It increases the engagement of users also.
2. Restrict sign up with only a few legit and popular email domains like GMAIL, YAHOO, MSN aor anything u want. You can use BP Restrict Signup By Email Domain plugin.
Is it possible to show new registered members in the stream? I thought this was standard a couple of years ago… but now nothing happens (in the stream 🙂 ) after someone new joined my website.
I still use Wanguard, it still works for checking the validity of email addresses. I notice recently however that I’m getting a large number of spam registrations from domains ending with .xyz or .top so I ended up forking r-a-y’s plugin BP Restrct Signup by Email Domain, turning it into a blacklist intead of a whitelist. My new plugin is called BP Blacklist Signup by Email Domain, I’ll be uploading it to the repository later. This seems to be working well on my systems so far – not had any spam registrations get through for the last few days whereas without it I was getting about 8-12 per day.
Thanks for the suggestion, Varun. I’ll read about it.
For the record, here’s a link for anyone reading this in the future:
Preventing Spammer Registration
Discusses the options, and ‘wares to deploy … but seems really dated.
WordPress.com suggests:
https://github.com/pixeljar/BuddyPress-Honeypot
But I can’t verify it’s compatible with the newer systems (6 years old.)
My problem persists, but seems to run in spurts…
hey guys,
has someone a snippet to remove the username in registration?
thank you

Hi, I hope someone can help, I am working with LearnDash and Buddy Press – it seems all my login, forgot password, resend password pages are all defaulting to register? Also only seem to have these options. I have disabled lots of plugins but to no avail… can someone help please – thanks
Also is there a way to have a conditional sign up with first and last names, only allowing people with certain email address extensions?

Hello,
Hope you’re doing fine.
We are having several reports from our theme users than since that last BP releases, members are not showing up on the Members page even though they registered, activated their account and logged in. So they’re active, yet they cannot be found on the Members page.
I did some troubleshot on their side and mine, basically those members are not returned from:
BP_Core_User::get_users()
It’s only happening on multisite.
So my question is, what could block those members to get returned by that function?
Cheers

I want to Send user email with their name/username ( first Letter Capital eg. Nimesh)
In current situation it is small.
Welcome to nimeshdev (this is username, how to make first letter capital?) ,
Thank you for your registration!
To finish activating your account, go to the next link: https://e-bazar.pl/activate/jGH1jXcYZbKIGF0OWdRTezJNcxVdaNaN/ ( this link redirect me to page page with code, how could i just click the link and get the message you have succesfully activated)
currently i am redirected to page with activation code.
Please help to achieve these two features.
I’m using the WP-Recall https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recall/ plugin. ajax login and registration form is there.
> Typical use cases…
Those scenarios don’t require multiple accounts to use the same email address for registration.
The ‘assistants’ could have their own account.
And then create an interface where a ‘VIP’ could select members to ‘operate and update certain sections of their accounts‘. Or ‘communication from each sent to their same email address.’
The latter use-case is quite simple.
The former would be more work. How granular the permissions are is determined by how much code you want to write.
Hello,
I’ve been working on my checkout field. I use Woocommerce Checkout Fields plugin for the email field. And I redirect regular user registration fields to show in checkout, by using WC4BP plugin. But after I changed and deleted some nav tabs and subnav tabs I get the error that email is a required field. When in fact I have filled in everything, every field.
Can someone help me?

I’m thinking to use Formidable Forms for the user registration, and they offer this as an option:
Don’t require a unique email#
This can be used alongside a plugin that allows multiple user accounts to be registered to the same email address. This will remove the error added to the email field for a non-unique email address. Replace 50 with the ID of your Email Address field.
add_filter( 'frm_validate_field_entry', 'remove_email_error', 25, 3 );
function remove_email_error( $errors, $field, $value ) {
$email_field_id = 50;
if ( $field->id == $email_field_id && isset( $errors[ 'field'. $field->id ] ) && $errors['field'. $field->id] == 'This email address is already registered.' ) {
unset( $errors['field'. $field->id] );
}
return $errors;
}
So I’m just curious if this would work with Buddypress.
What happens with the registration emails? This sounds like a different issue than what is described with the Nouveau frontend templates.
Sorry, I’m not fully awake yet. Disregard!
The strings “admin” and “firstname-lastname” are no present in the respective user profiles. Those phrases ONLY exist as the @-mention name that appears in the profile page across from the picture.
You kind of answered your own question.
The at-mention name uses the user_nicename
field from the wp_users
database table. This can differ from the display name. The user_nicename
info also isn’t exposed in the WordPress admin dashboard, which is why you might be confused.
If a user registered manually on your site, this would be the Username
that they enter on the registration page. If you imported a bunch of users from another system, check your database with a web app like phpMyAdmin or Adminer. You can also use a command-line tool like wp-cli to view the user fields:
wp user list
You can also try using a plugin like Edit Author Slug if you want the ability to edit the user_nicename
field, but use with caution (untested):
Edit Author Slug
Test in a local environment before deploying on your live site.
