BuddyPress.org

I am not attacking the BuddyPress Dev team to be clear.
I’m just saying that there should be a customization option for the registration page.
Because right now the styles are dependent on the theme. Why not add an option that allows people to place a certain field at a place and fully customize that field to their likings. Of course I understand that is hard and takes a long time and will probably not happen.
But please the team would make a lot of people happy by adding an option so people can customize the registration page apart from the full theme like its own style sheet.

@all Could we maybe a little less rude about BuddyPress styling we put a heck of a lot of our work time into providing BP as theme compatible app, it sounds like you’re all experiencing problems with premium WP themes affecting BP. Our registration screens are as best they can be made when we have to try and cater for unknown styling layouts.

Above all else before making remarks please do try to bother to read the Codex documentation which explains just how to avail yourselves of the huge flexibility BP template hierarchy affords users and the ease in which you can overload all template files to child themes including the BP stylesheet. In other words RTFM 😉

> BuddyPress needs to do something about this.

No we don’t! We don’t have to support premium themes we support themes coded to WP theme standards to do more is more work than a volunteer set of devs can handle. There is always the option of hiring a dev to get things settled in to your theme.

Same issue here. I just want to be able to edit the css of the registration fields.
My theme (Avada) doesn’t have a straight forward style.css it does not simply work like that.
BuddyPress needs to do something about this.

You can disable BP registration, then this is no longer an issue and the profile is still made the usual way.

I have done it by adding the following code in my functions.php, btw coe is not written by me.

function my_disable_bp_registration() {
  remove_action( 'bp_init',    'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect' );
  remove_action( 'bp_screens', 'bp_core_screen_signup' );
}
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'my_disable_bp_registration' );

There’s 2 parts to the registration form. The form markup and the processing script. You can’t remove the signup_password_confirm form field because the processing script will be expecting it.

You can edit the layout of the registration page. buddypress/members/index-register.php is the template you’ll need to edit. See the Template Hierarchy article for more information.

I have the same problem with the registration page. It’s unusable … an absolutely embarrassment if you look at screen capture of the desktop layout:

and the tablet layout:

I am running on Divi theme, and there is no way that I can use Divi theme to edit the layout of the registration page because it’s done at the backend of the BuddyPress plugin.

Is there a plugin out there that can resolve this ?

Regards.

I think you are referring to the message that appears after the registration page is submitted. If so, it’s not a different page or something you can turn-off anywhere (as far as I know). The message appears on register.php.

To modify it, you’ll want to make a copy of it, edit it then add it to your child theme: mytheme/buddypress/members/register.php

I didn’t have a big problem with the look of the registration but the little cosmetic changes I made with handled with CSS. However, the message that appeared after the form was submitted, that needed work.

To customize it, I made a copy of register.php, modified the section where the message appeared and added this new directory in my child theme > mytheme/buddypress/members/register.php

Looks much better now. Hope this helps.

me too. I would like the name of the group to be a label. I would like to make a registration form by STEP with TABS. For example. First Information, Profession, Study, Privacy.

agree, its unusable!
