Hi @ingenxcomputers
If you are using BuddyPress version 12.0 and up, you can customize the title and the URL of these pages from the URLs tab of the BuddyPress settings: https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/master/docs/user/administration/settings/urls.md
If you need to include these pages into a WP Nav menu, please have look to:

Previously, it was possible to eliminate the registration page entirely, which I had to do because of excessive spam sign-ups. However, after the latest update, I attempted to delete the page, only to find that BuddyPress pages are no longer accessible in the network admin panel. I even tried renaming the registration page to something obscure, but I’m still inundated with bot and spam sign-ups.
Is the BuddyPress team aware of what I perceive as a major setback in the latest update? Previously, I used a plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-registration/) to navigate around the weak registration page and I am still using it except that I have the main buddypress registration page causing problems which I cannot cancel. Perhaps I’m overlooking something. If so, could you provide suggestions on how to secure the BuddyPress registration page or eliminate it completely which I would prepare to do as
I’ve never been able to customize it

so that plugin will let new users sign up for buddypress?
Once you’ve downloaded it, do you install all folders into the WP plugins section?
@ingenxcomputers I am seriously stressing because my site is constantly being violated by Russian bots after this latest update and you are splurting out nonsensical questions … Seriously?
The plugin I mentioned is very well documented. I suggest that in the future you do a bit of homework first before jumping in without offering any advice or solutions
Hi Richard,
To edit the signup/register page for new BuddyPress members, check if it’s listed under pages or the BuddyPress plugin menu. If not, you might need to explore the plugin settings or customization options.
Here’s a way to disable BuddyPress signup feature:
function disable_bp_signups() {
add_filter( 'bp_get_signup_allowed', '__return_false' );
remove_filter( 'register_url', 'bp_get_signup_page' );
remove_action( 'bp_init', 'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect' );
remove_filter( 'wp_signup_location', 'bp_blogs_creation_location' );
remove_filter( 'wpmu_signup_user_notification', 'bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification', 1 );
}
add_action( 'bp_include', 'disable_bp_signups' );
To edit the BuddyPress registration page, you’ll need to customize the template file directly, as it doesn’t appear in the WordPress Pages menu. Go to your WordPress theme’s folder (preferably a child theme) and navigate to buddypress/members/register.php. If the buddypress folder doesn’t exist in your theme, copy it from the BuddyPress plugin’s directory (usually wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/). Once copied, you can modify register.php as needed, adding custom fields or adjusting the layout. Remember to back up your changes to avoid losing them during updates.For more details visit fintechzoom.com
To edit the registration page for BuddyPress, you can customize it to fit your website’s needs by modifying its design or adding additional fields. Start by creating a child theme Check your DOTS score to ensure your changes aren’t lost during updates. Then, locate the registration template file in the BuddyPress plugin (/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php). Copy this file to your child theme under a similar directory structure.
