Hi aaronthomas1979
Thanks for yuor answer
Absolutely yes! please share your code!
I would like to do something a bit different, but I think that I should start from your code adapting it to my scope.
What I exactly want to achieve: something like facebook do, that is to copy the full name (that is the only name the user will digit in the registration form) in the username (that must be automatically generated). The problem with this solution is that the username must be unique so I could insert a code like the following to insert a number at the end of the name making it unique:

function username( $username){
	$username = $username[0];
	$j = 1;
	while ( username_exists( $username ) ){
		$username = $username . '_' . $j;
		$j++;
	}

	return $username;
}

I think this is the cleanest solution: the users will insert the real name in the registration form, (without asking to change the full name inserted if another user with the same name is already registered) but a unique username is created silently anyway.
Please share, hope to find a solution with yours o any other contribute
Thanks

As you can imagine I’m a newbye and I’m trying to get the whole picture.
I do not understand, one I installed BP who is in charge of user registration on the website?

Bye

I’m using a plugin called Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type.

If I edit a profile field, Buddypress begins to malfunction by not letting a new user save his info entered into the register.php form.

So if I delete all my profile fields, and then re-create them, Buddypress will begin to function properly again, but, then I create custom profile search widgets with a plugin called “Buddypress Profile Search,” and then the problem starts again. (User can’t save the data he entered. Registration page just refreshes.)

I thought about a plugin, but I’m using so many already! 🙂
Plus, I need to limit the email domain registration only for one member type, not everyone, and I don’t see this option in the plugin.
But thanks for the suggestion!

I’ve painfully isolated the issue to Xprofile Custom Fields. After I make changes to the profile fields, the new user registration stops working. (Stops saving new user data – refreshes new user data screen instead of saving.)

Sorry in the top menu i want when your logout you see too registration?

Thanks, and I went through the process, and then I re-installed Buddypress, but I’m still having the same problem. It’s when I click the button to save the new user info, and instead of proceeding to the next step (“Check your email for verification,” it’s just refreshing the new user registration form. It won’t let a new user get passed that screen.

I read about someone else having the same problem, in this forum, but he never did describe how he overcame the problem. I’ve tried deactivating all buddypress related plugins, but no luck.

I think the best thing for me to do is going to be to re-install WordPress from scratch, but do you have any other recommendations before I do that?

Thanks.

Hi Henry,

Wow I didn’t expect an answer so quickly. Thanks!

I wouldn’t feel comfortable opening a ticket because my understanding of developing is quite basic, and this is a free plugin so I’d feel greedy asking for things or “complaining”.

Would you please tell me if it might cause any trouble if I leave those pages set as blank? I don’t mind the warning or might find a way to hide it.

I tried setting private pages or assign a password, but they don’t show in the list or even if they’re password protected they still show the content (registration form).

Disabling registration through BP would be the best option for me, I think.

Thanks again, have a great day!
