Hi Venutius,
Thanks for your response!
It still doesn’t appear to be fixed for me. When I visit the page I see the default sidebar which twentysixteen shows on every page, but there’s no registration form. I’ve attached a screenshot of what I see when I visit
http://slipbuddy.codeprimer.net/Register/
Is this the expected behaviour? I took a screenshot which you can view here
Hi guys,
Hi need to set the registration page of BuddyPress to default WordPress registration page.
BuddyPress registration page ==> WordPress registration page (wp-login.php? Action = register)
I tried several plugins (obsolete), and various snippets (non-functioning).
There is some redirect code, snippets, or plug in make this?
Someone can tell me how to make the current version of BuddyPress?
Thanks!
Hi,
I’ve customise the registration page and have been successful using a custom page to display the registration.
Here’s what I’ve done so far.
Copied the register.php file and replicated the folder structure in the child theme directory. This is the file that I’ve been customising.
I then duplicated page.php in my child themes root, renamed it to plugin-buddypress.php. I’ve heavily modified this page with new headers, a left and right section, no menus, etc. Basically trying to make the registration non branded.
However, after all that work, now I realised that all the buddypress pages are using that new plugin-buddypress.php page… so now the customised registration headers, text are also showing up for all other pages which obviously looks rediculous π when all I wanted was to only customise the registration page. lol
Anyways, is there a way around this? To make buddypress use the modified plugin-buddypress.php and have buddypress use another page for all other templates? Or am I going about this the wrong way or trying to do something that simply not possible?
Thanks!
Shayne
Hi,
I’m new to BuddyPress and I’m having problems setting up the BuddyPress registration page. I’m hoping someone can help. When I installed BuddyPress it automatically created pages for me to link to the registration and activation components. However, when I go to the registration page http://slipbuddy.codeprimer.net/Register all I see is a page with the title “Register” and no other content. The default wordpress registration page (/register with a lower-case ‘r’) appears to work as expected, but there is no option in the admin menu to link BuddyPress to that page.
I’ve searched the forums and have come across users having similar problems, but the fix seems to have been to disable plugins / use default themes etc. I’ve just created a new site to try to isolate the issue using a vanilla WordPress 4.6.1 with only the BuddyPress 2.7.2 plugin installed. (The default Hello Dolly and Akismet plugins are showing up in the plugin list but not activated).
The steps I have taken are as follows
- Install WordPress via FTP (no site scripts)
- Ensure Pretty Permalinks are enabled (Day and Name)
- Enable Registration in Settings->General->Anyone Can Register
- Install BuddyPress plugin from plugins page
- Return to BuddyPress admin page and checked that all components are mapped to default WP pages created by BuddyPress
Expected Outcome: http://slipbuddy.codeprimer.net/Register displays registration form
Actual Outcome: http://slipbuddy.codeprimer.net/Register displays a blank page with the heading Register
Thank you for your time!

Also, it looks like your theme has it’s own theming for the registration page, you might like to ask it’s developers about affecting the layout of the registration page.
The basic layout of the items on the right side of the registration screen can be affected by moving the fields around in Dashboard>>User>>Profile Fields.
You can drag and drop them and that will affect the order that they are displayed.
An alternative might be to install BP Better Registration, which creates a different type of registration process.
You might benefit from visiting my website http://buddyuser.com It’s aimed at newbies looking to get the most out of BuddyPress.
@venutius Yes that’s what should happen. But that is not happening on my site. They are logged in once they complete registration.
No, that’s not the behaviour, once they complete registration they are left logged out. If they try to log in it refuses to allow them until they have activated.
Hello,
For now, I have hid the menu with CSS until I can find a cleaner solution. BuddyPress adds way to many links to the Admin especially considering the fact I don’t need BuddyPress registration features, they are just there and cannot be disabled for whatever reason.
Thanks for any help. π
If you install BuddyPress on the main domain you can use the Display Widgets SEO Plus Plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-widgets-seo-plus/ (I’m the developer) to show/hide widgets on specific sections of a site.
Just released version 1.1.0 which includes specific widget logic support for BuddyPress/bbPress, could set the widgets for the BuddyPress parts of the site to NOT load on non-BuddyPress sections, this would stop some ‘bleed through’ of content from BuddyPress to the rest of the site.
That being said, from an SEO perspective (my background is SEO) there are other issues that could leak out to potential Google visitors.
Check this Google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=WordPress+Plugin
Note the WordPress Plugin Repository listing (1st result) has six additional indented results (called sitelinks: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/47334?hl=en).
The 6 links for the WordPress Plugin Repository listing are benign, but if there was an adult section of WordPress it could be listed as a sitelink.
From a WordPress perspective there’s also the core WordPress Search functions. The Static Pages that BuddyPress uses for ‘holding’ the BuddyPress specific output can be found via a search. If you have the default BuddyPress setup try using the WordPress Search Form to search for the word “Members”.
This will find your BuddyPress Members Directory Holding Page.
Same result with “Registration”, “Activate” and “Activity”.
It’s difficult to prevent bleed through of different types of WordPress content, so if your client is conservative I’d suggest a sub-domain/other domain to play it safe and manually add interlinking via Text Widgets and Nav Menu Links.

I just updated the Display Widgets SEO Plus Plugin (v1.1.0) which is in the WordPress Plugin repository at Display Widgets SEO Plus Plugin Download.

Use the Keyword Search facility, search for :

I did not put in those shortcodes. These must have included with BuddyPress pages. It didn’t show any other text except these shortcodes when I click the corresponding page.I have included the link to the page.

Yes the default operation in BP groups is that you can only invite friends of your BP Profile. You can change this behaviour with Invite Anyone, which gives you the ability to invite your friends to join the site and for you to invite any BP user to the group, not just your friends.
Another plugin that you might like to think about is BP Auto Group Join, with this plugin you can ensure all new site members automatically join a group.
With these two plugins, you can invite your friends to join your site and make sure they all join your group at registration.
I have a workshop I have created. For each group that goes through the workshop, I want to create their own forum. I also want them to be able to see and post to a “general forums”. I don’t want members of one workshop to see or post to another workshop’s forum. I also want people who are workshop leaders to be able to see and post to any forum.
I am using Event Espresso for event registration.
Is BP the right tool for this? If so, I need some guidance on how to configure the various groups.
As the topic says, I am trying to achieve this capability for group admin without success.
I have the following:
The website is community with branches (85 brancehs) and I use bp groups to handle the branches.
The members register and should be assigned to the branch of their city (using bp registration groups) and the managers of each branch are assigned as group admins.
The members are able to buy tickets to firld trips and other stuff and I need the group admins to be able to see which members from their own branch purchased a ticket to the trip.
Is it possible to create capability to achieve this?
I am using:
wordpress 4.4.2
Buddypress 2.7.2
woocommerce 2.6.7
wc4bp 2.5
wc4bp xprofile checkout manager 1.2.1
Buddypress registration groups
capability manager enhanced
Please help someone…
I would sugest No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA plugin which works with BuddyPress registration. You’ll hit the root of the problem.
Hope this helps.
I want to manually approve user registrations in our backend rather than letting them click a link to activate their account. I was able to remove the activate link on their end in the email they receive, but am wondering how the user can get an email notification once Iβve either activated or deleted the account request from the backend? As of now it does nothing when I activate it. I also want to change the verbiage that appears on the page after they submit their user registration information and cannot find out how.
Is there a way to require a profile pic upon registration? I cannot see the option to set up a field for that in the form fields, but would like to do this upon registration rather than having users have to do this on the profile editor later.
For option 1 it sounds like you want to set up a private network – not allowing non-logged in users to view profile details etc.
There’s a few options as to how to go about this, here’s a few:

For option 2, one option might be to display the registration form in a widget area on the front page, it’s possible to only display this widget for logged out users:

Thanks for your support friends.. It seems I have been able to achieve quiet a lot..
But Right now I am facing two issues…I googled it but couldnt found any working solution yet.
I: How to protect my buddypress site members/member profile content from non logged in or non-Registered users(or Just guests). I am just a beginner to php and unknown to functions to make this resricting function that works.
II: For Logged-in users the Activation/Registration pages always lead to front-page with no Activation/Registration form.. and for Non -registered users it always leads default to home/index template..with complete activation/registration form.
I have a front-page setup for welcome screen and want to add registration form to it or it would be good if the registration page always leads to Front-page with registration form features..
kindly Help people
Thanks & Regards

Is there a way to require a profile pic upon registration? I cannot see the option to set up a field for that in the form fields, but would like to do this.
I used this plugin to achieve a personal and business version of my user registration based on conditional settings: https://buddydev.com/plugins/conditional-profile-fields-for-buddypress/ but now when I’m logged in as the user and want to go into my account and edit the profile fields..I cannot get see all of the fields that I want to edit.
