Thank you for the reply. Just so you know, I am an experienced PHP coder, but I’m quite unfamiliar with the WP and Buddypress plugin API, which is why I was adding the challenge question manually right in the PHP files before. So I’m not sure where I would put the bp_signup_validate code you linked. Some specific file?
I copied my edited register.php (with the challenge question) to the following folder of the theme we’re using:
/wp-content/themes/blackfyre/buddypress/members/
There was no file named register.php in this directory previously.
After clearing any caching plugins, the signup form still only displays the default questions. You can see it here: http://realmsunchained.com/user-registration/
There should be an additional field under the “Confirm Password” field. Before Buddypress 2.4.x just editing the files I mentioned in the OP caused instant changes to this page. Now the registration form seems to be drawing its code from somewhere completely different.
Am I going wrong somewhere?
i am using this BP Registration Options plugin which does the same work like your plugin i guess….although i m looking now for removing the toolbar and menu for all users except admin…..can you help me on that??
@mrunal2989 Then there’s something awry with your configuration or with the theme’s Full Width template. When I looked at the source code of the registration page, there’s a (left-column) div and a sidebar (aside) … so that’s not a full-width layout at all. I suggest you contact the premium theme author why the Full Width page template is showing up with sidebar and how to fix it as we have no access to the theme.
@mrunal2989 the easiest way to center the registration page to select the full-width page template (instead of the Default Template) of your theme from the “Register” page Page Attribute box and then use CSS on the #buddypress wrapper to center the registration page. e.g. add
#buddypress {
width: 90%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
to your theme’s stylesheet.
You could activate some kind of registration honeypot to keep the spam bots out. This technique has worked well for me in the past.
Example: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/registration-honeypot/
Regarding the confirmation email problem, this seems to be a common problem and one that isn’t easily solved. Many things can result in email going into spam, most are usually related to your mail server setup or the user’s own spam filter settings.
I can’t even access to the registration form…
I saw that there was a very similar problem on this link, but no final solution to it:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/use-standard-wordpress-registration/
when I remove the second snippet I still end up with an empty page with /register ending URL
This thread may have the solution to your answer. I used information here to display all Groups to my registration page and have them populate my DB.

thanks alot for replay 🙂
i have another issue, in registration page there’s 2 field for name, i tried to deactivate all plugins, and the other field disappear, i started to activate plugins one by one, i think w# total cache is the responsible, what can i do
Before I installed buddypress, users could register just fine. I also disabled the default generated password and let users choose their own passwords at registration.
However, I cannot find that option anymore. If users can only create insanely strong passwords, I’d rather have it back to the automatically generated passwords, but I can’t find that option anymore.
EDIT: When I deactivate BuddyPress, I get my old registration back, that works.
I would like the option to keep buddypress, but also keep my old registration.
Still looking for any direction or examples where I can create a separate page (outside of the BP member registration or member profile) where members can upload and crop there avatar using the new BP_Attachment_Avatar introduced in 2.3.
The most help/up-to-date info seems to stem from this post.
@imath Would you be able to point me in the right direction? What is restricting the avatar from being uploaded on a page outside of the member profile?
Thanks!
buddypress registration emails are ignoring my smtp mail plugin
wordpress emails go out fine using php and smtp
test emails from the plugin go out fine using smtp
buddypress emails do nothing, they dont even hit the track delivery function in my hosts cpanel where the smtp test emails and wordpress emails do.
from the actions/results here, this is a buddypress issue, I am curious if anyone has ever encountered buddypress being “stuck” with registration emails and if there is a possible fix out there?
I have published blank Register and Activate page on my site but I keep getting the error message?
@beginner3 If you have enabled registration again, then go wp-admin menu Settings > BuddyPress and click on the “Pages” tab, and in the Registration and Activate section, choose the blank pages you created and associate each with respective functions per
>> keep getting the above error message
That happens when you enabled registration in your site but haven’t published blank Register or Activate pages in your site.

Figured I would take a look but the demo login doesn’t work. For social networks that require registration and no preview, it’s a major stopping point for most people I know.
> I meant how do I disable registration?
Go back to where you enabled it in Settings > General for single site or in Network Admin > Settings if you’re on multisite.
Sorry I meant how do I disable registration?
@keram- You need to enable registration in your Network Admin > Settings, creaate the pages, then associate those pages with BP https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/
@beginner3 I’ve updated the screenshot in the link you posted. There’s only one “Save Settings” button on that page now. Sorry for your confusion.
>> keep getting the above error message
That happens when you enabled registration in your site but haven’t published blank Register or Activate pages in your site.
Thanks @mercime for the link, I’ll follow the progress of the issue.
In the meantime do you know if there are any plugins that permit to edit the BuddyPress registration page?
Thanks again.
>> I know that Base group are shown in the Registration Form
@shmk thanks for confirming, just had to make sure you did. There’s a trac ticket which needs some more work done to get the feature you want at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6347
I know that Base group are shown in the Registration Form, but I have to add over 30 fields during registration so if they could be logically separated from the base group during registration and inside the user profile would be of great help for the customer.
@shmk profile fields you add in the Base Field Group shows up in the Registration Form https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/extended-profiles/
But where is the text “Vendor registration is currently closed. If you have an existing account, you may login and apply to become a vendor” coming from? I did’t find that anywhere in BuddyPress code when I just ran a search.
See: https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress
Vendor registration is currently closed. if you have an existing account, you may log in and apply to become a vendor
Are you sure this line of text is associated with BuddyPress? What plugins do you have activated? And also what theme? It could be coming from one of those?
