This field is fully part of WP registration process. And WP doesn’t use “email confirmation”.
But you can try Theme My Login if you absolutely want such feature.
Hello, I’ve tried the plugin but it does not work. Please let me know of any other methods to do this, thanks!!
What does not work in that plugin ?
There is an option: Require users to be approved or confirm e-mail address upon registration.
It’s the only alternative actually on hand for what you want to do. Don’t forget that this is in addition to WP (see my previous answer). It is not part of WP actually.
Hi, the thing is when I install the plugin, it messes up my login pages.
However, I’ve sort of managed to figure something out. The following code, when placed in bp-custom.php file, does exactly what I need it to do. Just ONE thing, is that it doesnt show the “Confirm Email” field during the first try. So when you click the “Complete signup” button, the page reloads and THEN it says confirm email field is missing. So on the second try, a user can successfully fill in all the fields and sign up. Would you know how to make this label “Confirm Field” show up when the page loads the first time? Thanks for your assistance, greatly appreciate it!! 😀
<?php
function registration_add_email_confirm(){ ?>
<?php do_action( 'bp_signup_email_first_errors' ); ?>
<input type="text" name="signup_email_first" id="signup_email_first" value="<?php
echo empty($_POST['signup_email_first'])?'':$_POST['signup_email_first']; ?>" />
<label>Confirm Email <?php _e( '(required)', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
<?php do_action( 'bp_signup_email_second_errors' ); ?>
<?php }
add_action('bp_signup_email_errors', 'registration_add_email_confirm',20);
function registration_check_email_confirm(){
global $bp;
//buddypress check error in signup_email that is the second field, so we unset that error if any and check both email fields
unset($bp->signup->errors['signup_email']);
//check if email address is correct and set an error message for the first field if any
$account_details = bp_core_validate_user_signup( $_POST['signup_username'], $_POST['signup_email_first'] );
if ( !empty( $account_details['errors']->errors['user_email'] ) )
$bp->signup->errors['signup_email_first'] = $account_details['errors']->errors['user_email'][0];
//if first email field is not empty we check the second one
if (!empty( $_POST['signup_email_first'] ) ){
//first field not empty and second field empty
if(empty( $_POST['signup_email'] ))
$bp->signup->errors['signup_email_second'] = 'Please make sure you enter your email twice';
//both fields not empty but differents
elseif($_POST['signup_email'] != $_POST['signup_email_first'] )
$bp->signup->errors['signup_email_second'] = 'The emails you entered do not match.';
}
}
add_action('bp_signup_validate', 'registration_check_email_confirm');
;
?>
Plugin has its own support. You can ask, or search there.
I mean for the code above (it’s not the plugin’s code), I was hoping that someone could identify why it doesn’t load on the first try on the registration page.
