I don’t think it’s the same issue as you’re getting the register page even if signups are not allowed. So i advise you to remove the code of the gist if you are using it.

If i understand well, your issue is when you save the general settings having the “anyone can register” option checked, this option is not saved and you keep having the message “User Registration is Currently Not Allowed” when a user tries to register. Is that correct ?

I’m having the same issue. My registrations page is saying ‘User Registration is Currently Not Allowed’ and when I try to tick the ‘Anyone Can Register’ box in General Settings it just keeps unticking itself.

I had, at one point, Invite Anyone plugin installed, but it hasn’t been installed (inactive or active) in well over a year.

Well you could and probably should be using tags like bp_is_register_page() although logged in BP will or is supposed to redirect to the home page if you try and access a page registered to the BP registration template.

So the issue then is that if you have is_page(‘about’) in that else clause then any bp page you land on would return true for that, which isn’t right but not sure why that is the case suddenly for you, it certainly doesn’t look like that would be happening on my trunk install I’m testing on.

Additionally there are a lot of posts covering re-direct scenarios on the forum, it might be worth checking a few of those and building a more robust redirect function, the one you have is a bit basic.

add_filter('wp_mail','my_custom_registration_mail');
function my_custom_registration_mail($email) {
    if (isset ($email['subject']) && substr_count($email['subject'],'Activate Your Account')>0 ) {
    	//email sender name and email
    	if( empty( $email['headers'] ) ){
    	    $email['headers'] = array();
    	    $email['headers'][] = 'from:YourDomain<signups@yourdomain.com>';
    	}
    }
    return ($email);
}

This should do it. Just change ‘yourdomain’ with something proper.
You’ll have to copy this code into bp-custom.php or your theme’s functions.php

Have a look at this.

This provides a way to upload profile pic during registration, but doesn’t force users to upload.
You can probably tweak the plugin to achieve that, although i am not sure how easy that’ll be.

1. If your theme already has register.php template file, go step 2 directly.
   If not, copy file plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php to themes\your-theme\buddypress\members\register.php
2. Open register.php file and find following code:

   <?php do_action( 'bp_before_registration_submit_buttons' ); ?>
   
   <div class="submit">
   	<input type="submit" name="signup_submit" id="signup_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Complete Sign Up', 'buddypress' ); ?>" />
   </div>
   
   <?php do_action( 'bp_after_registration_submit_buttons' ); ?>

   Move this code block to just before the line which says </div><!-- #profile-details-section -->

That should do it.

@daniel84uk i have had to do this myself on one of my sites for my own personal reasons using this snippet of code i came across.

function my_disable_bp_registration() {
  remove_action( 'bp_init',    'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect' );
  remove_action( 'bp_screens', 'bp_core_screen_signup' );
}
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'my_disable_bp_registration' );

add_filter( 'bp_get_signup_page', "firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page");
    function firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page($page ){
        return bp_get_root_domain() . '/wp-signup.php'; 
    }

Add this to your bp-custom.php

Hi,

Did you turn on registration?

Login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “Settings > Reading”. Click on the “Anyone can register” checkbox. If you’re on multisite, you can turn on registration by going to “Network Admin > Settings > Network Settings”.

Hi i only see labels argument of your custom post type in your description how do you actually add the ‘buddpress-activity’ support and do you use a bp_activity argument where you define the contexts for the front end dropdown filters.

Post Types Activities

Its definitely a problem within buddypress. I have gotten everything back to normal now. However the solution was weird. Even after I changed the settings back to “anyone can register” my registration page would not work and was simply showing like my homepage. Instead of the registration form it has most recent posts etc. After checking every option I decided to make all of my posts drafts instead of being published. To my amazement the registration page then turned back into its normal form. I then republished all the posts and things are back to normal. Except my search page will no longer link. It was basically not saving as the others weren’t. Finally i deleted the search page and decided to only use the search on my members page. I don’t use any of the plugins you suggested may be the problem. Luckily my site is still in the building stage and doesn’t have any users to make mad. Thanks everyone and have a great weekend!

@imath okay then add notice by the side of : Associate WordPress Pages with the following BuddyPress Registration pages.
Before you use this go to /wp-admin/network/settings.php
and select “Both sites and user accounts can be registered.”

WP+BP needs to have distro

WP and BP standalone
WP Network and BP
any other

Distros will have inbuilt pages and settings already available so that users are not confused. Users can straightway use the flavor they want – simple!

@disha76

having this settings on “Logged in users may register new sites” means registrations are off for WordPress. Deactivate BuddyPress and you will see WordPress will not allow you to register. Activate BuddyPress 2.1.1 and you’ll see that there are no regressions.

The problem is elsewhere.

In BuddyPress 2.1.1, when using this setting “Logged in users may register new sites” > registering new users is not available.
If you deactivate BuddyPress to only let WordPress, this setting doesn’t generate a registration link.
In BuddyPress 2.2 same behavior. So no bug.

This means the problem is coming from the plugin invite anyone. Since BuddyPress 2.2, the way this plugin was overriding BuddyPress site options is not working anymore. I’m going to inform the developer of the plugin.

hi @yosmc,

registration and activation are directly dependant of WordPress, that’s (i presume) the reason why BP doesn’t create those page for you automatically.
This is not a problem when you use a fresh install, but can be one if you’re installing BP on an existent WP install. In this case, some original settings may be slightly change i guess.
BP uses all those page for internal purpose. And this usage is somehow enforced with 2.2.0 version.(see here from trac)

There is anyway no alternative when BP is on. You have to create those page manually. Point.
I don’t think there is a way to get those page automatically created.
Creating them will take 1 mn, which is a less effort in regard of developing a custom function for an operation which is only done once. 😉

Hi @betro99

Sorry you have this issue after upgrading. If you go in Settings > BuddyPress > Page are the registration and activate page set ? If you go in Settings > General > Anyone can register is activated ?

Hi @espyd,

Sorry you are having this issue after upgrading. Just to help us understand why it’s happening, could you reply to these questions:

WordPress version ?
WordPress configuation ? (Multisite or not)
If multisite: is BuddyPress activated on the main site or in a sub site ?
In the General settings of WordPress is the registration setting on ?
Are you using a cache plugin ?

1/ I don’t understand why you are switching to the page post type ?

2/ Where is registered the sd_article post type ?

3/ if you’re the one registering the post type, maybe you should define the BuddyPress activity support directly when registering it. eg:

function plugin_registers_post_type() {
	$args = array(
		'public'   => true,
		'labels'   => array(
			'name'                     => __( 'Artikel', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'singular_name'            => __( 'Artikel', 'sozialdynamik' ),
			'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Neuer Artikel veröffentlicht', 'sozialdynamik' ),
			'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Artikel', 'sozialdynamik' ),
 			'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s hat den neuen <a href="%2$s">Artikel</a>', 'sozialdynamik' ),
 			'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s hat den neuen <a href="%2$s">Artikel</a>, on the site %3$s', 'sozialdynamik' ),
		),
		'supports'    => array( 'title', 'editor', 'buddypress-activity' ),
		'bp_activity' => array(
			'component_id' => 'activity',
			'action_id'    => 'new_sd_article',
			'contexts'     => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
			'position'     => 100,
		),
	);
	register_post_type( 'sd_article', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'plugin_registers_post_type' );

Just like it’s explained here: https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/post-types-activities/#adding-the-buddypress-support-and-specific-labels-at-post-type-registration
