BuddyPress.org

Thanks again @danbp.

I use the frontend to create new users using the registration form.
Like @tstrickland415 described, only the xprofile field is updated during the registration process and not the actual BP Member Type.
This leads obviously to having none of the operator/vendor/coach member showing up in members directory under each type.

Updating manually the member type in backend each time a new user register is probably not a good option for most sites.
Thanks again @danbp for this head start. I’ll also be looking into how to assign the member type in registration form and share it here.

Tutorial is here:

2.2 Member Types – Setting user member types during registration (xProfile)

Closing this topic as duplicate.

Has anyone managed to assign a member type at registration based on xprofile field?
I do not use Gravity Forms…

May be useful:

2.2 Member Types – Setting user member types during registration (xProfile)

Default output for register and activate page is a selectbox set to — None —

As long as you haven’t allowed user registration and manually created these page, no button will be shown.

Aside it could be related to your theme. Try using 2014 or 2015 before scrubbling with CSS hacks.

@minglonaire,

i’m part of the one percenter who cares about well formed urls and a basic system which is working on 23% of www’s sites !

If you have enhancement ideas, feel free to post in the appropriate forum or open a ticket on Trac.

BP is only a WP plugin and doesn’t handle registration. On the other hand, WP use a very short registering form, containing 3 fields: username, email and password.

First and last name are optionnal fields on the standard WP user profile. These fields are not mandatory, never appear on the registration page and it’s in the freedom of everyone to use them or not. When BP is installed, he provides a mandatory Name field, which can be used to enter a username or a first/last name.

Even if i have no percentage to give you, i’m pretty sure that almost all users are satisfied to use a CMS which doesn’t ask them for real names at first ! And why not their address, blood group, gran’mother nickname or their mom’s phone number ?

This are privacy options, and WP is smart enough to not abuse of such things, by default. Smart enough also to use the simpliest existing register routine, like all other major web operators, a username, a valid email and an encrypted password.

Anything else is matter of flexibility, one of the major interrest to use BuddyPress. And definetly no, not all communities have members who knows each others. Don’t make you the spokeman of such behalf speculation. 😉

I think you’re confused by system requirements and your own desires. To get it clear for the register aspect, read here please.

Oh, and the answer to your question is here:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

If you’re talking about extended profile field groups, only the Base (Primary) Field Group shows up in the Registration Form.

User Extended Profiles

WP allows registrations without using BP.

Do you not want any registrations?
If so, did you turn off ‘Anyone can register’ in
[your site]/wp-admin/options-general.php ?

@vignesh-m,

Please read the doc, according to plugins description:

WangGuard Always will be free for personal use, this means that whenever you have less than 5,000 daily registrations or you make less than $200/month, you never have to pay anything for WangGuard.

@dewfl

witnessescity.com/registration/ = 404 error
means that you have no page called registration.
When activation and registration pages are not automatically created, you should do this manually

See on BP settings Page tab. Check also the other components pages.

Have you set up pretty permalinks ?

Please read the doc

Configure BuddyPress

if you have registration turned off in WordPress settings you will have registration troubles. When you got to settings > BuddyPress and on the pages tab do you have the pages assigned to components?

The unique field coming with BP xtended profile is called Name by default. This field name can be changed and you can add some specific description to it to fit your need.

On the register page you have on the left the 3 mandatory fields from WP
username
password
email

on the right BP’s Name field in which you can enter first and last name.

Registration

It sounds like the requests are being generated by a plugin or some other custom code – probably related to registration.
Try turning off all plugins except BuddyPress and see it the issue persists.

hi @tiquality,

to show the user’s mail above the other user information, you can add the following snippet to bp-custom.php or child-theme’s functions.php

Assuming users gave a valid email at registration, we can output that address.
Avantage is that they haven’t to enter their mail a second time while completing their profile.

So we just need to manually add this address to the template, using one of the action hook avaible in profile-loop.php

function tiquality_add_custom_field() {

	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) :

		if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
?>
	<div class="bp-widget <?php bp_the_profile_group_slug(); ?>">
		<table class="profile-fields">
			<tr class="my_mail">

				<td class="label">Contact me</td>

				<td class="data"><a href="mailto:<?php bp_displayed_user_email(); ?>"><?php bp_displayed_user_email(); ?></a></td>

			</tr>
		</table>
	</div>
<?php 
		}
	endif; 
 
}
add_action('bp_profile_field_buttons', 'tiquality_add_custom_field');

If you prefer it on the profile header, use the action hook indicated by Brajesh
add_action('bp_member_header_actions', 'tiquality_add_custom_field');
