Hi @fanmusic

Check out Theme My Login. That’s one of the easiest and most secure ways to do it.

Data is stored in the wp_signups table under the meta column. Data is serialized, so you’ll need to unserialize the data.

Use the this class method – BP_Signup::get():
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.1.1/src/bp-members/bp-members-classes.php#L108

Use it like this:

$signup = BP_Signup::get( array( 'user_login' => USERNAME_YOU_WANT_TO_CHECK ) ) );

Then do a var_dump() of $signup and you should get all the data you need for the user.

Can you test another theme? Preferably one of the WordPress default themes?

Does the open comments issue occur on another theme or just Atahualpa?

Sounds like a bug.

Can you post a ticket here?

@thestylistquo – this sometimes depends on your server settings and your email client’s server settings. One server I run bp on will send wP emails using php that get through my own hosted email server and desktop email client just fine.. however with the default settings on my one server, emails sent by wordpress / buddypress will not make it through to most yahoo gmail email accounts… something about headers not registered or something.. I found a plugin that will force WP to “send mail through smtp” instead of php, which then gets emails through the various anti spm systems that some email hosting providers require…

I found a similar situation with contact form plugins… “fast Secure Contact Form” will not get emails through yahoo email addys (even with tweaking the smptp settings in the plugin) – with my server, however “Contact Form 7” gets emails through to yahoo accounts just fine… what the two different plugins do to modify sent from headers or whatever, I don’t really understand…

Then of course there are server ip blacklists and crap like sorbes that block things.. and even when they get through to my desktop client, sometimes outlook or kaspersky will flag them as spam and push them into my junk mail folder…

Not sure any of these issues are affecting you and your setup, but maybe that info will get you look in the right direction. I forget what gmail and yahoo call that header registering thing or whatever – they have info posted somewhere.

fab-pj – paypal getting emails to your users? Or s2 / your wp install not getting email to your users? – Different systems use different methods for sending emails with wp, and some email systems will reject emails under various circumstances. Just sending an email via php with general server stuff in headers may not get through some systems like yahoo or gmail. I had to use some weird “wordpress send emails via smtp” type of plugin on one site… I also found that “fast secure contact form” would not put the right header info in emails to get to yahoo addys.. but the plugin “contact form 7” did put header things together right with my server.. of course this varies on lots of things beyond wordpress (your server setup – where they are going, if your server ip is in any blacklists, etc)

I have had not trouble using s2 with users signing up via mobile devices.

You ask about membership plugins that work with BP – not sure what your goal it.. I mean BP is a memberhsip thing.. if you are thinking about membership levels and content restrictions and such I would look at “press permit core” – in my experience I was able to axe using s2 and just use press permit. If you are looking for something fancy you may need to combine a couple / few plugins.. premium.wpmudev has a membership plugin and content restriction plugins as well.

random thoughts, now knowing exactly what you are going for and what you have tried.

@rlaine – you might be able to mashup what you need by using WP custom fields, or one of the plugins in the wp repo that deal with “custom fields”

there are several directory plugins out there, some hosted in the wp repo and some in premium walled gardens like premium.wpmudev I think. Since you have not listed the ones you looked at and did not like it would be impossible for others to suggest some that you might consider.

You say that you can do some front end styling stuff – so you may very well be able to add a bit of code to some theme pages to display custom fields (https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields ) from WP and get exactly what you are looking for without a directory plugin…

Of course being a front end guy ( I assume from what you are saying) you could also use one of the plugins you mention you have already tried and just use some css display none for the social stuff you say is too much.

random thoughts for ya…

Well, I kept searching and found the solution to my problem. Check out this post on StackExchange:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/15304/how-to-change-the-default-registration-email-plugin-and-or-non-plugin

It worked like a charm for me.

Hi @rlaine

The best place to start your research is the WordPress Plugins Directory. As you’ve mentioned you probably won’t find a single plugin that does everything, it’s instead likely that you’ll need a combination of plugins and perhaps even some custom code written. Regarding accessibility compliance, my advice is select a theme from the Themes Directory and set up a test install where you can try out your plugins. Then run your site through an evaluation tool to see if guidelines are met. A good list of tools is available on the w3c website:

http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/

Hope this helps.

Hi @gabsterino

There will most probably be lots in the Plugin Directory but you’ll need to test which are compatible with BuddyPress. WordPress ‘authors’ and BuddyPress ‘members’ are the same fundamentally so compatibility shouldn’t be a problem. But as I say, give them a try before going live.

Hey @tobyhawkins

Can you check if pagination works with the default theme activated (Twenty Fifteen) and all plugins disabled? If you still experience the problem then, I’d suggest opening a ticket on Trac. If the problem goes away then it’s likely to be theme or plugin related.

Possibly. That’s what you’ll need to check. Quite often the problem is theme- or plugin-related. My advice is to set up a test site which replicates your production site. Then you can make changes (for testing purposes such as this) without impacting your live website.

If the problem remains after you’ve disabled all plugins and activated the default theme then you can raise a ticket on Trac. The core development team can then take a look.

BuddyPress encourages its users to find and report bugs.
And they are even happier when a bug report includes a fix!
If you have found a bug, please open a ticket on trac.

Hi @ch1n3s3b0y

Do you mean create a new custom taxonomy called users and then each time a user registers, you want a new term to be created?

If so then check out these resources:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies

You’ll need to use register_taxonomy() to create your new taxonomy (see here)

To insert a new term you can use wp_insert_term() (see here)

When you come to write your function, hook it to the bp_core_signup_user action.

I’m not sure, but it sounds like your line of thought is valid. Using a cookie for this seems a bit weird, but hey, that’s how it’s been implemented at the moment. 🙂

If when you finish working through things, you still think you’re onto a bug with the missing cookie idea, please would you submit an explanation of the issue over on our bug tracker at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket ?

To my knowledge, this isn’t built in to the current template hierarchy.

Template Hierarchy

You could open a ticket on Trac requesting the enhancement (try searching open tickets first to make sure it isn’t already planned).

Default BP does allow to see other users’ Favorits in the Favorit tab in Profile page – why does Buddyboss kills this? At least site admin should be able to turn it on or off.

I see what you mean. We will consider adding an admin option.

Buddyboss is never meant to load every plugin but if a chosen few are bundled, it will be really good rather than re-inventing wheels at premium plugins, features of which are already available in the WP-BP repo. If users like us see thay they are well integrated into the Buddyboss look and feel there can be more sales of the Buddyboss theme actually.

I appreciate all of the feedback, very much. Our plan is to expand on these plugins and make them more feature rich, launch more premium plugins and themes, and also free plugins for the community over the year.

We launched two free plugins this week which you may be interested in:

Search all BP components in one unified dropdown:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-global-search/

Edit BP activity from the front-end:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-edit-activity/

The password field belongs to WordPress, so you could probably try to apply this trick.

I think I’ve noticed this in the past as well.
