BuddyPress.org

So here is the problem and MY solution. Might not work for you.
What I’m using: WP 3.3.1, BP 1.5.4, & CIMY Extra Fields 2.3.7

I register users from my WordPress page, NOT my BuddyPress page. So not myurl.com/register BUT I AM USING myurl.com/wplogin.php?action=register

What was happening: CIMY generates a key before BuddyPress generates a key. THEN, Buddypress would send out its own email, but WordPress is looking for the CIMY key to activate the user.

Also, when BuddyPress was sending out the activation email from bp_core_filters.php, NOT bp_members_signup.php. It seems that bp_core_filters.php does not seem to have the function to activate a user, but bp_members_signup.php does.

When I would register users from my BuddyPress page instead of the WordPress page, the activate email would work just fine. The email was also being sent from bp_members_signup.php, NOT bp_core_filters.php. How do I know? I altered the email message in filters.php, but then got a different email when I registered through BuddyPress and not WordPress.

Okay. So what did I do?

bp_core_filters.php was overriding my CIMY activation email. When I disabled BuddyPress, I was able to register users through CIMY and my activation link even said ‘?cimy_key=838494040383830209’ (not a real key, obviously) and not just ‘?key=8393834929282’

Before you do this, save a clean copy of bp_core_filters.php somewhere different, so if this doesn’t work for you, you can put the old file back in without any problems.

I went into bp_core_filters.php and DELETED lines 224-255. This starts with:

?function bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification( $user, $user_email, $key, $meta ) {

$activate_url = bp_get_activation_page() . “?key=$key”;
$activate_url = esc_url($activate_url);
$admin_email = get_site_option( ‘admin_email’ );

if ( empty( $admin_email ) )
$admin_email = ‘support@’ . $_SERVER;?

Then it ends with, on line 255

?add_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification’, ‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification’, 1, 4 );?

Delete all code between lines 224 and 255. If you have WPMU, above that is the email function for WPMU, in lines 181-222.

Why am I using CIMY and not just extending the profile fields on BuddyPress? I needed to collect address data. It was a requirement to collect address data from the registration. But, it would then display publicly on the profile in BuddyPress. I couldn’t have that. I just wanted the data in WordPress, hidden. Thus, I’m using CIMY.

Also, I use CIMY and hide the buddypress admin bar to strangers. I use the plugin login logout and place the widget in a sidebar to direct to the correct login screen, not the buddypress login screen.

BuddyPress is running but is not handling any registration, activation, etc. But users can still use it.

Hi,

I’m running several WordPress websites for customers and I recently discovered BuddyPress. I tried to install it on my old hosting solution at 1and1.

The installation got right until the very last step: I got the famous “Out of memory” problem. Since then I’ve been looking for a new hosting solution but couldn’t find out how much memory I’m suppose to choose (is 64 M enough?).

Thanks for your help!

I’m still tweaking the layout, fixing bugs and don’t really have any content up yet, but this is what I’ve been working on for the past month and a half:

http://www.cityravers.com

It’s a blog, forums and social network for people into electronica music, built off the BP-Default layout. Keeping it low-key at the moment, but I’d love any thoughts or criticism. My first WordPress site, and the first site I’ve put up in years.

Hi all!

I’ve got one issue about the buddy boss theme…

Anybody in buddy boss support forum answered me about that.

How can I activate the default wordpress admin bar in buddy boss theme? It’s ’cause I’m running the BP installation in a sub-blog of my WPMU network, so I need the default admin bar to use with that ’cause of the WPMU menus in admin bar, someone knows how can I do that?

Thanks
