BuddyPress.org

Can I do that via BuddyPress? BP is not a contest plugin, so you have to find another way to achieve this. Maybe using a plugin or create your own.

So far i know, there is this older plugin who may be do the job. No idea if it works with 2.1.1 and how, but give it a try and let hear from you.

It can be done, but not easily.
You’ll need to replace the message create and send functionality.
If you are comfortable with php hacking, you could modify this plugin.
Adding the email field is easy.
Without a lot of work, you won’t be able to display it as a separate field when they read the message. Instead, I would append the email to the start of the message content before sending it.

hi @jessicana,

another solution is explained here.

Or you can add a custom action hook to the registration template at a more appropriate place of your choice.

Something like do_action ('jessicana_tos'); and by adding some div’s. Of course you have to use a child-theme to do this.

And in the above function remove last line and replace it by add_action( 'jessicana_tos', 'bpfr_tos_link').

Updates: I used developer tool to dig more into it and observed 500 internal error in response. It indicates must be something going wrong with database connectivity. Then I observed WordPress php error logs and it was telling me that whenever user clicks on register button, mysql client is running out of memory. I will be changing RAM by tomorrow and will check if that fixes it.

@rohitkatke, @rathodsuraj1
sorry to answer this, but here are 25 pages of topics from people having “the same problem”.

If you don’t use X theme, if you don’t use woocommerce and if you don’t use BP 2.0.1, you have NOT the same problem as @jlent14 ! 😉

It seems to be, looks like, but most probably isn’t. And generally, jumping in others topic or old topics is not a good idea on this support forum.

To all readers

When encountering a registration problem, first thing to do is to test your install without any plugins and one of WP’s Twenty default theme. Ensure that your site send correctly emails. Before activating any plugin, your base WP install must work.

Once WP is OK – you can install BuddyPress and check your permalinks. Pretty permalinks must be activated to get the plugin working correctly.

This point is important, especially if you have redirection issues after BP is activated.

Second point to check is your theme installation.

Proceeding like this will help you to isolate easely the culprit. If:
– WP install: OK
– BP install: OK
– theme activation: problem

So you know here the problem comes from.

While testing your install, you can activate wp_debug (set to TRUE) in the wp-config file. This can give you a lot of information about conflict and/or errors.

Just keep in mind that these information have 2 levels of importance: notice and warning.
While notice are generally harmless, warnings should be taken seriously in account and solved.

If WP is the problem, see first the wordPress support
If it’s BuddyPress, see the BP support
If it’s the theme, see the theme support
If it’s any other plugin, see first the plugin support.

Thank you for you attention. 😉

Wow, I’m not the only one then!! I posted this on Trac about 10 minutes ago.

This plugin is supposed to do that – https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-blog-author-link/
( I think.. if I understand what you are asking about)

I used it for a while (a long time ago ) and it worked! … then some wp /bp stuff updated and it stopped working..
I stopped using it..
I think the plugin has been updated since I last tried it.. so it might work now..

Give it a try and if it works or not let me know and I might give it another go…

Have you tested this one ?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/

Spanish po/mo is only translated to 87% on glotpress and this phrase is actually not translated in the avaible version.

It seems you use wordpress-language plugin, who automatically upload the mo file for you and who probably overides your work.
Deactivate this plugin first, do your translation with poEdit, and add manually by FTP the po/mo files to wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-es_ES.mo

For more details and answers, read the longest BP topic about language:

Hi @atsouf

Any help about what plugins or customizations i ll have to do to make this work? (cost is not an issue)

Take a look in the WordPress Plugin Directory to see if there’s anything there that would help.

If you need any custom work done then try adding your requirements to the BP Jobs Board. There should be lots of designers and developers around that can help. Be sure to leave your contact details so that they can get in touch.

Hi @lesleyshr1

Check out the BP Disable Activation plugin. I haven’t tested, but it should still work.

Regarding activating the 310k pending accounts, I’m not sure there will be a plugin for that. The best approach would be to loop over each of the pending accounts, activating each one. Perhaps do it during a non-busy period because it might take up quite a bit of your servers resources.

Try with this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-usernames-only

Depending the font service you want to use, you have to create a font folder in your child-theme to use it.

In snippet, the CSS code who generate the icon is <i class="icon-facebook"></i>
This code is specific to FontAwesome.

You have to read the documentation of the choosed service to get yours.

If usage is unclear to you, read this tutorial.

#1 – another solution here:

Checking if a WordPress User Has Ever Logged In

Re #1 – I haven’t used this plugin, but the author is solid: bp-wake-up-sleepers.
It hasn’t been updated for a couple years, so it may not work with latest BP version.

Re #2: You could try this plugin: buddypress-profile-progression
I don’t think it sends an email, so you’d have to hack it to add that functionality.

$result = apply_filters( 'wpmu_validate_user_signup', $result );
Are you sure that the filter hook is being used? As opposed to simply being available?

You can create a ticket in trac.

No !

@irieside,

sounds more like a conflict with your plugin as a BP issue. I assume you’re using this one, but the free or the pro version ?

Have you asked on the plugin support ?
Have you tested with one of WP’s twenty theme ?
Have PHP errors enabled in wp-config, to get some debug information ?
Have you compared the js files version shipped with this plugin and the existing in your theme/other used plugins ?

2 is very appropriate: one for a site url, one for a screen shot… or max. 2 spam link 🙂

This is WordPress’ default setting /wp-admin/options-discussion.php and I tend to agree, 2 seems quite reasonable.

@danbp wrote…
But for mods (only), it could be more depending the user problem, even if 2 seems to be ok in most case.

I’ve just added a patch to bypass this altogether for moderators as it is pointless moderating moderators topics/replies that the moderator can self approve!

@danbp wrote…
But the warning msg, what ever the allowed links will be, is important.

A bit of background, there was a bug in bbPress that meant ‘maximum number of links’ was never actually being checked, thus we fixed said bug and now we see the results of said fix :/

Included in those same checks is Comment Moderation and Comment Blacklist also at /wp-admin/options-discussion.php for when a topic or reply contains any of the listed words (e.g. name, URL, e-mail, or IP) then the topic or reply will be saved with the post status pending and held in the moderation queue.

Currently if a match occurs from the “blacklist” a notice is displayed and the post is never created
ERROR: Your topic/reply cannot be created at this time., this behaviour will not change and only keymasters/admins can bypass this.

For the actual “warning message”/”notice” that is posted when either the max number of links or a word trigger from the “comment moderation” word list is triggered per @JohnJamesJacoby’s comment here:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1988#comment:3

Having it be nondescript, and leaving it up to the moderation/admin team to review those posts and choose whether or not to publish them, seems the simplest approach for today.

I’ve made a ticket and we’ll try to get this fixed in BuddyPress 2.2 (due to be released mid/late January 2015). If the fix is easy for you to apply, once we do that, I’ll try to remember to come back and leave a note here.
