How to create an member approval method that works

    Hi Guys,

    We have a buddypress website, it’s quite niche so membership is restricted. We have been using BuddyPress Members Only to restrict membership.

    But there’s a problem, as soon as someone registers, they are added to the list of members here. It’s true that we still need to approve their membership before they can do anything, but we definitely don’t want them listed on our site publicly without approval.

    I’ve heard nothing back from the developers of this system so I’m looking for an alternative, can anyone recommend an approval method that works?

    Registration is open to anyone, however each registration needs to be approved before, the registrant is listed or can do anything.

    Hi David,

    I have been stuck in asimilar loop – have a look in Dashboard > Settings > General Settings > Membership (Anyone can register). If it’s ticked then new members can approve themselves. If unticked then the Admin should get an email with link to approve the new member.

    Regards,
    David

    Thanks David, that’s not the issue, they are no approved, but they appear on the list of members anyway.

    Oh, so pending approval but still appearing on the members directory?
