This function is useful during the process of registration and need to fetch user ID and need pass to this function with group id

Hi @arbolife any chance you even vaguely remember what you did to get new user activation email being sent out when using WPML + BuddyPress? Like you, everything works 100% correctly on the ‘English’ side when new users register, requests membership for a private BP group, logs-in, etc – BUT if a user registers on the french registration page (fr/register/) they never get any emails (I they are foever listed as “pending” in the user area). I’ve also noticed that no emails (outgoing) get triggered if an existing user switches to the /fr/ side & tries to join a private BuddyPress group. Trying to access the /fr/wp-login.php page (or the password reset) from the /fr/ side will also trigger a 404 page. So, like you mentioned, it’s a setting “somewhere” in WPML to resolve these (many) anomalies, but for whatever reason, I can’t see to find the resolution!

My test setup:

WP: 3.7.4
BP: 2.8.2
WPML: 3.7.0
BuddyPress WPML Plugin: 1.5.5.1

If you’re talking about this specific instance where a user has registered a site during registration:

Must change BLOG_URL and user-site.url from http to https

Then, I’ve added a fix for this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7508/7508.01.patch

You should use HTTPS throughout your site if you want to force the email to use SSL links.

Or force HTTPS on individual pages like the registration page so activation email links will use SSL.

The other alternative is filtering the email tokens to use HTTPS:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.8.2/src/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php#L3120

If you’re a WordPress developer, hook on to the 'bp_after_send_email_parse_args' filter and do checks against the 'tokens' array key.

For more info on the 'bp_after_X_parse_args' filter, see:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/using-bp_parse_args-to-filter-buddypress-template-loops/

It sounds like you might not have migrated the DB tables properly.

If possible, try and set up a local install with the same DB tables to try and duplicate the problem.

Registration and Edit Profile Issue

For example i have the exact same contact form as the register page on the site so if i submit the form post data to site.com/register will it register?

The registration URL is whatever you have set in the WP “Pages” menu. Look for the “Register” page to double-check, but the default is site.com/register.

Did you try POSTing to site.com/register URL? If so, what happens?

Basically how would i register a user from outside the site in code

You can just use wp_insert_user() if you need to register a user into WordPress.

If you want to use BP’s signup function, use bp_core_signup_user().

It’s responsive for WordPress default themes like one of the Twenty themes.

@hnla – Perhaps we should extend responsive support for the registration screen to bp-legacy / bp-nouveau directly instead. I know breakpoints will be an issue, but we could probably settle on a width.

The log-in page is a WordPress page. There is a guide on how to customize it:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Login_Form

The registration page is created by BuddyPress and can be modified in many ways. You’ll need to understand theme compatibility and overriding templates:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

So you could create your own copy of buddypress/members/register.php in your theme to make big changes, or potentially hook into the action bp_before_register_page to just add some html to top of the BP page.

Best of luck.
