After doing a lot of research on the net I have found a way in which the admin can moderate the new users and/or blogs.

This is how it happens

1. A new user registers on your site.

2. After registration he/she is shown a message that “an admin needs to approve your account etc…”

3. The admin recieves the activation mail in his/her inbox.

4. When the admin clicks on the activate link the member gets a mail in his/her inbox with their username and password.

And Here is how to Achieve this.

Step one:

a. Open wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core/bp-core-activation.php

b. Search for wp_mail($user_email, $subject, $message, $message_headers); (There are two instances of this code on the file)

c. In the above piece of code replace $user_email with $admin_email or ‘youremail@yourserver.com’

d. Do the same changes for the other instance.

e. Finally you must have changed $user_email with $admin_email or ‘youremail@yourserver.com’ at two places on Open wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core/bp-core-activation.php

Step 2:

a. Open the fle wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core/bp-core-signup.php

b. Search for functions bp_core_signup_confirm_blog_signup and bp_core_signup_confirm_user_signup

c. Thse functions will have the messages that are displayed to users on their screen after they sign up.

c. Change the messages as per your needs.

Step 3:

Test the changes

I have made these changes and tested them on http://iitdreams.com. However all these changes require to change code at places where it will be lost during upgradation. Can someone come up with a plugin for same.
