It’s quite probable it just won’t work. BuddyPress intentionally interferes with the page that WordPress thinks its loading (when it’s a BuddyPress URL), and I suspect Yoast SEO will look at this page object, and because we’ve messed with it and because it doesn’t map to a real WordPress Page, it won’t work.
Sorry!
Welcome Pack! Small world.
Can you try disabling Welcome Pack? That certainly interferes with user registration.
Please also try disabling iThemes Security.
Then, test registration again, and see what happens.
If it still doesn’t work as expected, if you can switch your theme to one of the default WordPress themes (leaving those two plugins disabled), test again. If you have a test environment (say you might be using Pantheon hosting, for example), this should be easy to do, though if it’s only one server, I appreciate you might not want to modify your production site too much.
As of right now, you would have to make a copy of the JS to make your required change:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.6.2/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js?marks=530#L513
This file should reside in your theme’s buddypress/js folder.
Keep in mind that this is the source JS. When used in production environments, this JS is minified to buddypress.min.js.

Our user details and activity goes into a massive database; however I don’t want this to be impacted by the forum users
If this is absolutely non-negotiable (don’t share the database), you are going to almost certainly have to set up a separate WordPress site, just for your community.
There is one users table in the database, provided by WordPress, and as BuddyPress is a plugin that runs on top of WordPress, we also use that users database table.
If you don’t want new community users mixed up with existing users, you need to put the community stuff on a separate WordPress. Or, write code to filter and customise various lists of users as/when/if you need. BuddyPress Member Types might help.
This is a better question for somewhere on the WordPress.org forums. More people over there, and this isn’t specific to BuddyPress. 🙂
Do other BuddyPress emails get sent?
Do WordPress emails get sent? (comment notification, new user registration, etc).
In order to update a custom table you’d need to use the wpdb class.
Hi,
BuddyPress doesn’t handle registration. That’s WordPress territory.
You may read about WP two step authentication:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Two_Step_Authentication
And here’s a tutorial from which you can built a multi step authentication:
Building a Multi-step Registration Form for WordPress
Good luck !
Hi there,
I was just wondering if you could help me; I’m trying to start a Buddypress sub-community on my existing website. We currently have a user system that enables the use of our services; however I was trying to create a forum as a sub-page on our website and a community from that. I realised, however, that WP was finding it difficult to distinguish users on our current system with users of Buddypress. Is there a way of creating a completely separate user-type for Buddypress, so as to prevent cross-over from our two systems?
I want to work towards:
-Different details required for our user system than Buddypress
-Different menu items for our users than for forum users
-Our user details and activity goes into a massive database; however I don’t want this to be impacted by the forum users
Thanks a lot for your help!

I want to search matching profile for a member depends upon his/her profile field values, like a groom wants to search for bride on the basis of his other preferences field values, please suggest any plugin or function that can help me to accomplish this functionality.

Deactivate all plugins and the theme and test registering from WP using a Twenty theme as first.
Then activate BP and re-test.
Then activate S2 or whatever you use for paid membership and again, test.
And finally, you have to test your theme (if not a Twenty one).
FYI, BuddyPress doesn’t handle the password field, but WordPress.
You’ll probably get better answers on WP or S2 support forum.
Thank you @danbp for the plugin, but this one does not work. I nevertheless deactivated quite my plugins to part BP, nothing can be done we can always modify at will profile field. I also use the last version of BP and WordPress. My theme is SweetDate of SeventhQueen. What do I have to make now?
Thanks
I see that this has been addressed to some degree here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4677#attachments
Has it not yet been released in one of the buddypress updates? I have tried this approach but with no luck:
add_filter( ‘bp_enable_group_avatars’, ‘__return_false’ );
Thank you in advance!

Hi!
I am adding Member Types to my site. I have over 4000 members and want to bulk assign member types to existing members.
The problem is; I have to assign different member types to male and female members. Male / Female is a BuddyPress xProfile field value. Is there any way to order /sort users in the back-end by an xProfile field value?
If not, is there any other work around? I am using latest WordPress, BuddyPress and BP Member Type Generator Plugin.
Thank you for the help

Emails not sending have many possible causes. For the sake of clear discussion, please make your own topics, don’t bundle in on the same one.
@jtburlew Please check to see if your site sends WordPress emails reliably? (i.e. comment notification, password resets). Please also let me know what plugins you are using. Anything that changes POP3 or IMAP behaviour, or redeclares the wp_mail function, in particular.
@imath has never reported with emails not sending from his French language WordPress sites, so I am assuming this is a server configuration problem – or incompatibility with something WPML is doing – rather than it being down to some character within the email string.
What plugins do you have active?

Hi,
I have bought a theme which of course uses BuddyPress.
Subscribers have access on their activity log but they also have access on every users’ activity log too (all these happens on front-end dashboard)
I want to restrict subscribers from accessing other users’ activity log on front-end dashboard.
I contact with the owners of the theme and they redirect me here because they don’t know how to do that.
I would appreciate any kind of help(plugin or some code snippet).
Thank you in advance.
WordPress version: 4.5.3
BuddyPress version: 2.6.2
I also checked with Twenty Fifteen theme and the issue is still there.
