@coolhunt your desired list is good.

did you make any progress in the onboarding ?

anyone can help to make it a graded process maybe of onboarding, each time you login, you are coerced to fill certain details.

Any other ideas on how to make a better registration process is welcome

thank you !

Yes, it is a very much needed feature, to see whom we have sent Friend Requests to.
1. We can decide whom we wish to Withdraw request from – probably if after seeing their profile, we find they do not match our idea of a friend. Helps to do this earlier than Unfriend later
2. Also it would be good to have an option for Admin to make Usernames incremental like
User108 will have the Username: ABCZ108
User109 will have the Username: ABCZ109
and so on
User2001 will have the Username: ABCZ2001
Can you please suggest how this can be achieved ?
If you can give a code snippet for this, it will eliminate the need to have this field in the registration form. We wish to ensure that people dont use wierd usernames or even offensive ones. Plus it is easier for Admin tasks. Plus one less field to check for from the database, to see if a username is taken.
Please help

I faces the same issue while registration, but my issue was little different. PayMyDoctor

Hello
Step 1: Install and Activate User Registration Plugin.
Step 2: Create User Registration Form.
Step 3: Add Custom Fields to Registration Form.
Step 4: Configure Settings of User Registration Form.
Step 5: Publish User Registration Form.
still have issue then must visit Nexus Iceland

Not sure if your issue was the same as mine but we got 600K spam registrations because they were finding this url… /wp-login.php?action=register which was different than our Buddy Press Registration form: /register .

Even though we had Recaptcha, etc the query page was not protected. We ended up creating a redirect to the /register page.

Hi Scott,

thanks for raising this issue, bots registrations are a constant issue on my site, but pretty successfully controlled with a combination of:

– limit permitted registration email domains to the most common, Gmail, Yahoo, aol, etc. No weird stuff allowed.
– BP Registration Options plugin, but requires a lot of manual moderation.

Your point: I must say that not a single bot registration attempt on my site was ever able to activate the account by successfully responding to the activation email. They simply generate non-existent email addresses so never become active.

Your experience is different?

I used this code:

BuddyPress Better Registration – Part 1

I haven’t used BuddyBuilder but after looking at their offering I would guess that you are correct that this plugin is the culprit. It looks like they provide some other templating system to replace some of the standard BuddyPress pages and provide an entire authentication process. I think the first course of action should be to work with them to fix the problem. I mean they offer this entire solution so I’m assuming it does work! Also, did you try disabling this plugin?

Anyway, when I go to Settings>BuddyPress>Pages, I have these 4:
Activate, Activity, Members, & Register.

There may be more or less depending on features you’ve enabled. Activate, Activity, and Members are all blank pages, while Register uses the shortcode ‘[bbp-register]‘ (its actually a bbPress page). You should be able to at least create these 3 blank pages and assign them on that settings page.

Here’s another post about missing pages: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-create-login-and-register-pages/

Moderator shanebp says “BP does not handle a login page.” Here again I have a page with a bbPress shortcode ‘[bbp-login]‘. So basically it looks like login and registration need to be handled by some other plugin or theme.

There are hooks that can be used to modify these pages, but full control over content and styling would probably require a theme, plugin, or custom page templates. I tried Elementor with BuddyPress but quickly found that Elementor was making the process too complicated. TBH I think Elementor gets in they way more than it helps. I ended up using Blocksy and Stackable.

Our plugin (free) Vibebp allows you to
a. Assign a default member type on buddypress registration.
b. Generate multiple registration forms and each form can have its own , member type, activation email.

Let us know if you are interested, it is built over buddypress. We are still preparing it publish it on wp.org.

EDIT: I checked your page again and saw that your registration fields now seem to be back on the page?

Did you find out what the problem was?

@rightanglecreative90 ok, I would start asking several questions, many of which are included here

When Asking for Support

as Mathieu suggested.

Are you able to provide answers to those questions (e.g. not only WP and BP versions but also, did you upgrade from prior versions and which versions were they, do you have any other plugins, etc.) ?
