BuddyPress.org

– Dashboard / Settings / General: check anyone can register box
– username has to contain small letters only

@roham

Have a look at this plugin and see if it will work for you
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/

Ok, the page navigation links work such as “groups” “activity” etc…
What isn’t working is in my admin bar at the top, I can’t go to like profile, or edit profile, and such. It takes me back the the root page of the site every time.

My setup is on a fresh install of wordpress 3.0 with networking enabled, the only plugins I am running are BuddyPress and since I am having the problem, maintenance mode. My hosting is done through http://www.site5.com

My WP 3.0 install is in the root directory of my public_html folder.

website is http://www.redsfancentral.com

Okay, just re-reading this again. I don’t think you should use bp_core_signup_user().
For your custom script, you can try using wp_insert_user() and then add in the extra profile information later.

Or, you can try using the Import From Ning plugin, which also works with CSVs:

@elizawhat – You need to finish your upgrade from WPMU to WP 3.0 properly.

Read and implement everything listed here:

@hnla
That page makes quite a lot of sense once you start to understand actions and filters and how they work on WordPress. If you don’t, then it can be confusing. I’m going to add a note at the top that links to the WordPress page for Actions and Filters: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API

I’ve done something similar, however, the user I created I did by using the dashboard feature to create a new user. I could then login as that user. (Wasn’t quite sure what level to give them, mind).

I wonder if it sent you a confirmation email (you, in the user role, not you in the admin role) & your email system spammed it?

Have you tried creating one from the admin dash?

You may need to explain things in greater detail. Installed WP? and could you login in to the backend? before any plugins were uploaded; or had you managed to activate BuddyPress?

The error message you are getting is covered quite a few times on WP forums and the issue stems from WP rather than BP so you may like to look through a few of these threads for solutions?

Same thing with me BP 1.2.5.2 and wordpress 3.0

Can anybody give answer :: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/wordpress-3-0-buddypress-user-creation-problems/#post-62981

I re-read your post. There have been noted problems with IIS and BuddyPress.

Here are some solutions you can try:

If you have other query_post loops running on the page, you might need to reset the loop.

Use something like wp_reset_query(); after a query_posts loop or use a WP_Query loop, which doesn’t require resetting altogether:

Use a query_posts loop:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

I’m quite sure that a plugin exists to do such a thing.

Will this do what you need… it lets you (as admin) directly add members to a group:

Oh man, barking like a dog would have fixed it Oh well…

1) What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress?
2) What are the file permissions on .htaccess? Can the webserver write to it? If you do have to change the permissions, then after doing so, go back into WordPress and change the permalink settings to something else. Then set it back to what you wanted the permalink to be and try again (this will re-write the relevant part of the htaccess).
3) What other plugins are you running? What theme are you using? If it’s custom, what sort of thing do you have in its functions.php?
4) What type of GoDaddy hosting are you using?

If you’re using WPMU aka Multisite on GoDaddy, as far as I can tell, you’re in for a lot of trouble

I was looking for the exact same thing as @rossagrant when I found this thread (a basic empty custom tab that admins can add content to). I’ve tried using the Group Extension API per the documentation, but the code seems to be unaware of the API when it gets processed. I get an error saying it doesn’t know what BP_Group_Extension is. If I remove the extends from my class, it falls over at the bp_register_group_extension call.

I have put the sample code word-for-word in my bp_custom.php file (per @boonebgorges).

I am a developer, but am new to wordpress/buddypress dev. I’m using latest versions of WP/Buddpress.

Thanks for any pointers.

@bennadler The problem with doing it that way (in BuddyPress core) is for installs where /wp-content/ is moved out of the WordPress root and located somewhere else, which is a common configuration for the more security minded folks.

That fix will work for most everyone else however.

Yes, This plugin works well and is compatible with BP
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/users-to-csv/

@dlittle800 Try disabling all plugins and use default settings.

What version of wordpress and buddypress are you using?

@hnla You raise an interesting point about plugin development vs core development. Speaking from the point of view of someone who makes a living off of WP and BP-related development, I can note that it’s often quite easy to justify the development of plugin-type functionality for a client. The client’s job needs a specific type of functionality not available in, or appropriate for, the core of BP, so it makes sense for them to pay to have it developed as an add-on. From there it generally takes just a bit of extrapolation and cleanup to turn that add-on into something that can be released as a plugin in the WP repo. (If you’re really lucky, like I am, you have paying clients who actually *encourage* these cleanup and extrapolating steps in plugin development.)

It’s a bit harder to bill for core-type development, since so much of core development involves extensive bug testing on a wide variety of different server and software configurations – something that isn’t really required for a specific client project.

Still, this all makes me think about Andy’s awesome post from last year, “Give a Little”: http://apeatling.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/give-a-little/. Now that I’m starting to catch up from my month-long break from BP (honeymoon ftw), I personally am going to start devoting more time to the core project, which I understand broadly as this buddypress.org community as well as the ongoing core development on trac.buddypress.org.
