BuddyPress.org

You followed apparently all steps except one: permalinks activation. Go to dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and choose an option, except “default”. Save and see if your urls are working. 😉

Check also anything listed here (php version, htaccess,… ) in case of.

FYI:
The default register page is in following location
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php

This theme exist only for backward compatibility and is no more used by BuddyPress since BP 1.8
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration

Those files were in the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members
file in question was registration.php

David Im trying to alleviate the activation process, I tried your snippet in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

I added a closing php tag because I didn’t see one, but something didn’t happen correctly.
the registration page returns to registration page and no user is activated.

Are we missing something? Do I need to put the code elsewhere?

I also noticed in one file, I think it was signup that at the end of the file after submitting registration there was an if statement that asks if user activation required… send activation email..
else
echo your good go ahead and login..

I was searching for the setting which makes activation required, but could not find it.
There is a strange row in the bp data tables called “registration” with only a 0 as the data.
Could this be changed to 1, I didn’t test it, but if you know.

Hi, you have to enable WP registration at Settings > General > Anyone Can Register:

Hi isavarg-

You’ll have to be logged out to see the registration or activation page, otherwise they redirect to the home page. Have you tried it while logged out?

Hi @shughesd,

for clarification, the first topic author mentionned Trying to find where to edit the text above the fields.
Are you looking for the exact same thing ?
Is register.php in the right folder ? /child/buddypress/members/register.php ?

The only text above the fields when registration is allowed is
Registering for this site is easy. Just fill in the fields below, and we\’ll get a new account set up for you in no time.

You have 2 options to edit/modify this string:
– using the language file if you only want to change the text.
– modify it in register.php if you want to change the HTML tag (by default it’s <p>)

Other text above fields is the field title.
This can be changed in fields admin. Dashboard > Users > Profile Fields. Edit the field and change the title to your need.

And finally, which doesn’t need any alteration of a template or language file, you can use one of the 30 action hooks existing in register.php

You can write a function and hook it to the placeholder of your choice. To do this, you add the below functions to bp-custom.php

Example
Add a welcome message at the top of the registration page, above Registering for this site.
And another one below it.

function my_custom_register_msg_title() {
echo '<h2>Welcome on my site !</h2>';
}
add_action( 'bp_before_register_page', 'my_custom_register_msg_title' );

function my_custom_register_message() {
echo '<p>Thank you for registering.</p>';
}
add_action( 'bp_before_account_details_fields', 'my_custom_register_message' );

In hope it helps you to understand the principle of operation on templates.

Hello,

I have the same query and did as instructed- created a buddypress folder in my child them, pasted the registration.php file, and made the changes there. However the changes do not render.

Do I have to do something else with the original register.php page in order for this to work?

Thank you!

i can’t replicate your issue. My snippet works as expected and when TOS box is not checked, the registration is aborded.
You can test the error messages appearing for required fields by going to register page. Don’t fill any field and click on regiter. Does this work ?

Also do you use any kind of plugin on registration page or for xprofile fileds ? Or other custom code ?

The description field is stripped by default. But you should be able to add an href by using single cotes. But that’s all. If you insert a target to href, it will be removed.

Apparently nothing to do with BuddyPress.
Same question as on the buddypress-registration-groups(error comes from this plugin ) support !
See
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-on-registration-form-1

See these plugins
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-registration-groups-1/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-auto-group-join/

but remember you asked first for Conditional select options […] 😉

@danbp I can use that plugin now thank you but that was not what I was looking for. My question was I want to make a profile field on the registration page where I want to add pre made group
I want to add some groups and then I want members to join in the a particular group while registering

Hi,

review all site settings and check about the fatal error mentionned on the /register/page:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function groups_get_total_group_count() in .../wp-content/plugins/buddypress-registration-groups-1/includes/bp-registration-groups.php on line 53

I think that your buddypress-registration-groups plugin folder is malformed.
buddypress-registration-groups-1 is most probably written buddypress-registration-groups
