BuddyPress.org

WordPress Default Registration Settings:
Go to your WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to Settings » General. Look for the “Membership” option or “Anyone can register” checkbox. Ensure that the checkbox is checked/enabled. This setting allows users to register via the default WordPress registration system.

Disable BuddyPress Registration:
In the BuddyPress settings, there might be an option related to registration. Look for the BuddyPress settings either in the WordPress dashboard or under the BuddyPress plugin settings. Disable or turn off any registration-related settings within BuddyPress to revert to the default WordPress registration.

Check Theme and Plugin Compatibility:
Sometimes, themes or plugins might override default registration settings. Ensure that your current theme or any other plugins installed do not enforce their custom registration processes that conflict with the default WordPress registration.

Review Custom Code or Functions:
If you’ve added any custom code or functions related to registration, review them to ensure they’re not redirecting or modifying the registration flow to use BuddyPress.

Now I’ve read the other topic you posted into, I know you are using WordPress Multisite.

My question about viewing the registration page being disconnected might seem a bit obvious but I wanted to check if you were using or not the Site invitation feature of BuddyPress which uses our signup page although global registration are disabled.

But I guess registration is on since you’re using a specific plugin.

Using BuddyPress < 12.0.0, once you removed the registration page, were you getting a notice to do the page association ?

I believe reading your post we should probably stop assuming you want BuddyPress to manage registration to your site, so I’ll work on a way to only do so if the admin opts in.

Hi @bermudastream can you give more details about your config:

– WordPress Multisite or regular ?
– In the site health information tab, what are the values of:
– WordPress > registration
– BuddyPress > URL parser

– being disconnected, what do you see when you go to this registration page ?

Unsure if this is what you mean, I am trying to get back the WordPress Registration form, maybe you will fare better with it?

Resolved – How to disable the registration function of buddypress?

Previously, it was possible to eliminate the registration page entirely, which I had to do because of excessive spam sign-ups. However, after the latest update, I attempted to delete the page, only to find that BuddyPress pages are no longer accessible in the network admin panel. I even tried renaming the registration page to something obscure, but I’m still inundated with bot and spam sign-ups.

Is the BuddyPress team aware of what I perceive as a major setback in the latest update? Previously, I used a plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-registration/) to navigate around the weak registration page and I am still using it except that I have the main buddypress registration page causing problems which I cannot cancel. Perhaps I’m overlooking something. If so, could you provide suggestions on how to secure the BuddyPress registration page or eliminate it completely which I would prepare to do as
I’ve never been able to customize it

Hi

Can anyone tell me why when I enter the BuddyPress from WordPress settings it is not showing the Pages tab so I have no way of setting the registration, login pages etc?

Thanks

Matt

Has anyone found a solution to this? I can’t believe they have not come up with this setting between those two plugins. Is there some php function or plugin that can auto assign memberpress registration?
