Hi @ar2015
Actually i wrote a post on this few days back may be you would like to have a look
I am having this issue on two separate sites. I have completely removed BuddyPress and installed a fresh copy from the BP website to both sites and this issue is still happening. Is there anyone that is having this same issue that can help me out? One of my sites has about 50-100 registrations per a day and I can not keep manually activating them.
Thanks,
~Joey
Is it WP 4.1.1 and BP 2.2.1 and Multisite. If so go to …/wp-admin/network/settings.php
Registration Settings – Select radiobutton for
Both sites and user accounts can be registered.
and save.
If there is a Page created via Add New Page with title “Register” but no content
and you have chosen this via ..wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=bp-page-settings
as Registration page, things should work.
After doing the above log out as admin, and visit the “register” link.
Thanks.
OK, I’m a newbie with BP but you have to:
1. edit/set up your registration page form fields that you want in Users > profile Fields.
2. you can edit the actual text found in the Registration page in registration.php file. Found here on your server: plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php
3. you can edit the actual text found in the Activate page in activate.php file. Found here on your server: plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/activate.php
If you read the getting started docs they help a lot, and then search this forum and on the i/net you’ll find heaps more info.
Good luck!
I do Social Network for Gamers all i need to do in Registration page to add like box with all Games When user click Of any one to be select and appear thumbnails for this games after that when he click signup button to go in profile page appear Games with thumbnails he choose like this screenshot
@henrywright Thank you for your answer.
I tried to test what I had on 1&1 and registration works. It confirmed that MAMP is the one causing the problem.
I think I found where the problem is : it’s all about emails. The email that should be sent for activation can’t be sent so nothing happens and the registration fails.
MAMP (and other web hosts) doesn’t support sending email. I tried to find a solution to it with no luck until now :
– first, by getting MAMP Pro free trial, where you’re supposed to be able to configure PostFix to be able to send emails but I couldn’t figure out how to set it up properly and couldn’t find anything useful on the internet to do so. This http://blog-en.mamp.info/2009/09/how-to-sending-emails-with-mamp-pro.html did NOT help. If anyone knows how to make that work I’d love to see how.
– Then I tried that http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-receive-wordpress-emails-from-localhost/, and I do receive the test email, but it doesn’t fix my BuddyPress problem.
I am not sure how to work on BuddyPress without being able to register a user.
An example of what I’m working on : I want to add a long form in a tab in people’s profile page, which then generates a graphic element, a map (that will be part of their profile).
I could either :
– bypass the code that is used to send the email for activation and activate the users manually as an admin.
– go to the database and enter the new user manually.
I’ll try to bypass the sending of the email first.
Please let me know if there is an easier way to work on what I intend to program.
Also, if anyone knows how to set up MAMP to support sending emails, I’m interested !
Hi @danbp Thanks.
Again when trying with
WP 4.1.1, BP 2.2.1 – default installs
define( ‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true );
define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
Registration Settings : Both sites and user accounts can be registered.
Using default Twenty-Fifteen theme
Using Apache server
I found some more things : see this picture
Now UserA signs up for both account and site.
When he visits the category “Uncategorized” –> Page not found
When he creates a post using say, Format: Gallery –> Clicking on ‘Gallery’ : Page not found
Now if he visits the UserA/wp-admin/options-permalink.php – just visits and does nothing, no saving – all the errors vanish. “Uncategorized”, link “Gallery” everything works.
Same for user B , user C …
No idea if this is normal and expected or not.
I am searching how to do this automatically without the user having to compulsorily visit the Permalinks page. Mind you, the Permalink is already set to ‘Day and name’ – which is not “Default”, thus Permalink is already otherwise okay.
If any user has time here, can try the above steps to reproduce, and if any clue/remedy can please share. Thanks.
@svenl77 Thanks for the link. Its nice.
Does it work on Multisite? The form can deposit posts to individual blog? and not one central blog or blog 1? Any demo of that please?
Specific settings I am asking about:
WP 4.1.1, BP 2.2.1 – default installs
define( ‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true );
define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
Registration Settings : Both sites and user accounts can be registered.
If it does work with the above settings has it solved this category problem?
Thanks.
@tinabeansy,
first of, required pages for buddypress such as registration cannot use custom template as an usual WP page.
“Create an Account” can be modified by using the language file, even if the site is in english.
Read here
BP comes with a pot file where you find ALL strings used by the plugin AND the file/line where they are used. Very handy for searching “create an account”. 😉
For now:
bp-core/bp-core-filters.php:487 bp-members/bp-members-screens.php:517
Also found scratchhouse.co Is this your site ? BP seems to not be installed.
Have you setup the pretty permalinks ? Could explain why you have trouble with some pages.
And don’t forget: codex is your friend. 😉
Hi @russadams,
on any WordPress site, once a new user registers, the user is created in
the database. That’s why site admin can see him in the control panel. This is normal.
Here default WordPress registration process:
- User registers.
- User is shown message to check email.
- Login credentials are sent to new user in an email.
- User logs in to site using login credentials.
- Admin is notified of new user sign up via email.
This doesn’t change when BP is installed, as BP doesn’t handle registration.
Guess your issue is due to browser session. Make the following test.
Create a new user from frontend.
Close the browser or clear cookie and nav history.
Don’t use activation key yet.
Reopen the browser, and see if the user can login. Normaly he can’t as he hasn’t use the activation key.
@emineminero You have two registration pages
Your link above: http://www.comunidadcrm.com/register/
And the url I found: http://www.comunidadcrm.com/registro/
What was the title of the Page you set to Registration in Settings > BuddyPress > Pages? Is it still associated with Registration? Also, please do not add any content (leave page blank) to the Page you set as Registration page in Settings > BuddyPress > Pages.
🙂
Remember to follow the naming convention as outlined in the codex guide for template hierarchy and that if wanting to create a standalone template i.e index-registration.php it will require all the ‘parts’ that constitute a WP template get_header/get_footer
Where did you get the idea that /registration/ was a valid directory? Look at the existing bp-legacy layout it’s there in black & white as to where files reside and in what directories 😉
Buddypress is calling his own files for registration (register.php).
For example if I install the smart wp login, it doesn’t work because it doesn’t apply to the buddypress registration files (I’m not sure, maybe I’m wrong…)
Is not Buddypress Registration same as WordPress Registration?
Thanks.
Thank you very much.
I was just wondering if the advices in theses links could be used with the buddypress registration process…
I will try
I finally got it!! I tried the google captcha and that messed my site up but made me realize I had bbpress captcha installed. So I deactivated the bbpress captcha and google captcha and registration works again! I realize you can’t have two captchas installed but I forgot about the other one.
I was able to access that but the only entry that was wrong was related to my iCopyright plugin.
I did find a place in my database where the tech failed to update the url so I corrected that. I’m really close to being functional now! The menu works again!!
The only thing I see right now that is still not working is registration. If I click the Registration link on my menu it takes me to the registration form but there is no submit button. Is that because my captcha is missing??
hxxp://crabstreetjournal.org/register/
My site url/wp url are not visible in the general panel anymore. I don’t know why but I can’t figure out how to change that.
When I view permalinks settings it still has the wrong url and of course I can’t change that.
Tech support already moved WP to the root and edited my htaccess.
I’ve ran the find and replace on my db to update the urls but obviously it’s not changing everything.
My old main menu is all the wrong links. If I make a new menu and manually create the links, everything works except registration.
With invite anyone you can turn registration off in settings, and members can invite others to join via email.
Then you could make a call to action where people leave their email to receive an invite, worked like this for me.
