Hey all,

Been digging for a solution but can’t seem to find one. My site has 2 registration forms (Form A and Form B) on separate pages that are working great. When users signup to Form B a hidden field called subscriber_type is populated. Otherwise Form A and B are identical. Once the forms are submitted a user should only be auto-activated and logged-in if this subscriber_type field is populated.

So far users filling out Form B are activated (and don’t get the activation email) and are logged in. But users filling out Form A aren’t getting their activation emails either even though they should. Looks like no users are getting any activation emails, regardless of the form they fill.

Is there any way to make sending of the activation emails conditional?

What I’ve tried so far:

// Auto-activate users from Form B (This works)
function auto_activate_user( $user_id ) {

    $subscriber_type = $_POST['subscriber_type'];
    if ($subscriber_type || $subscriber_type === 'current_subscriber'){
        global $wpdb;

        //Hook if you want to do something before the activation
        do_action('bp_disable_activation_before_activation');

        $activation_key = get_user_meta($user_id, 'activation_key', true);
        $activate = apply_filters('bp_core_activate_account', bp_core_activate_signup($activation_key));
        BP_Signup::validate($activation_key);
        $wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_status = 0 WHERE ID = %d", $user_id ) );

        //Add note on Activity Stream
        if ( function_exists( 'bp_activity_add' ) ) {
            $userlink = bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id );

            bp_activity_add( array(
                'user_id' => $user_id,
                'action' => apply_filters( 'bp_core_activity_registered_member', sprintf( __( '%s became a registered member', 'buddypress' ), $userlink ), $user_id ),
                'component' => 'profile',
                'type' => 'new_member'
            ) );

        }
        //Send email to admin
        wp_new_user_notification( $user_id );
        // Remove the activation key meta
        delete_user_meta( $user_id, 'activation_key' );
        // Delete the total member cache
        wp_cache_delete( 'bp_total_member_count', 'bp' );

        //Hook if you want to do something before the login
        do_action('bp_disable_activation_before_login');

        //Automatically log the user in	.
        $user_info = get_userdata($user_id);
        wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id);

        do_action('wp_signon', $user_info->user_login);

        //Hook if you want to do something after the login
        do_action('bp_disable_activation_after_login');

    }
}

// Fix validation on Form B (This works)
function fix_signup_form_validation_text() {
    $subscriber_type = $_POST['subscriber_type'];
    if ($subscriber_type || $subscriber_type === 'current_subscriber'){
        return false;
    }
}

// Disable autivation email only for Form B (This doesn't work)
function disable_activation_email() {
    $subscriber_type = $_POST['subscriber_type'];
    if ($subscriber_type || $subscriber_type === 'current_subscriber'){
        return false;
    }
}

add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'auto_activate_user');
add_filter( 'bp_registration_needs_activation', 'fix_signup_form_validation_text');
add_filter( 'bp_core_signup_send_activation_key', 'disable_activation_email');

I’ll do my best to answer these before asking my question, per moderator request.

Bennypointer.com is to have a forum (/forums). I have it built, have registration/login/lost-password pages that seem to work, except upon registration, no email gets sent (doing automatic registration for the moment). I’ve scoured everything I can find, and cannot seem to fix this. Ideas?

Also, I am trying to get a right sidebar on the forum page with registration, etc. but cannot get it up. On Benny’s Forum page (/forums), I have ‘right sidebar’ as page type. I with widgets setup with login URI and lost password URI fields accurate, and did the same at appearance>widgets where there is only Blog Sidebar and Footer listed on the right (where I drag the widgets to). I cannot find a place to “create new sidebar” that I have in my Karma wordpress theme. I have tried having the widgets in both the Appearance>customization area, and on the appearance>widegets page).

Help? I’ve got about 12 BBpress and codex pages open on topics ranging from learning child-themes, to BB press, etc.

Thanks y’all
Jon

Hello, I updated to the latest version of Buddypress and now my site is redirecting the registration page of my site to wp-login. If I disable the buddypress plugin it stops redirecting from the page.
