Buddypress Won’t Link to the WordPress Registration page

    Hello,

    Hmm, unsure how to diagnose this; but have an issue w/ buddypress not displaying the correct registration page. When disabled, it works (the default wordpress registration form), so it is either a plugin dependent on buddypress or buddypress itself. I tried setting the register page to none, and to the register page with a “Page to Link” plugin that sets it to the correct url ending in /wp-login.php?action=register but it still will not, any idea how I can fix this? It was fine before but not sure why it just stopped, I did migrate it from a local install and deployed it online

    Any help would be very much appreciated

    Hello @ceraus

    BuddyPress is overriding WordPress registration URL by default so that it is displayed into your theme instead of the wp-login.php file. From previous support topics on the same subject I’ve read some users were deleting the registration page BuddyPress was created to force the use of the WordPress registration page. This was a workaround that is not doing the trick anymore in BuddyPress 12.0.0.

    Please see: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-12-0-0/page/8/#post-332709 for a way to disable the BP Registration flow.

    Hi @imath,

    I have a similar / related issue. I’m using Restrict Content Pro’s registration page with the latest Buddypress version (12.1.1) on a staging site and my registration page broke. It told me “Member registration is currently not allowed”, even if I disable the buddypress plugin.

    I tried the gist you posted https://gist.github.com/imath/c5c34feb5d3c9b3070f7a11bc339f103 in my child theme’s functions.php but the registration page still does not work. Any ideas?

    *Update* – I read through the earlier post and found the first workaround – going to Buddypress Settings -> URLs, but did not see any option to change the register slug. I had to briefly turn on wordpress general settings “Anyone can register” so that more options would appear in “URLs”. I was able to set the slug to something else like ‘sign-in’ and that seemed to allow my RCP registration to function again.

    Just to check, I disabled “Anyone can register”. Seems like the BP slug change stuck and my RCP registration is operational.
