Hello,

I have some trouble while configuring the login page with buddypress and wordpress latest version.

I added register and login page in my menu. Register works well, but once the user is registered he cannot connect to the website since the login button in my menu once clicked redirect the user to the wordpress login page. (forcing users to create a wordpress account).

Thanks for your help !

Hi there, BuddyPress uses the WordPress login page, so it sounds like it’s working correctly. Unless I’m missing something?

Hi, it uses the wordpress login page but does it create a wordpress account for the new user ?
Because if a new user register and then try to login, the username and password are nor recognized.

Yep BuddyPress uses the WordPress user database, so creating a BuddyPress user automatically creates a WordPress user.

Are the users receiving the activation link and are they trying to login after activating their accounts?

Yes users receive and use the activation link, I can see that they, created and activated the account but then they cannot connect.

And now I have a new problem, the register page isn’t showing on the menu where I added it.
I could add a “normal” register link but it will still be shown after loggin, if would prefer to make the buddypress one work.

Thanks for your help !

So if the user is created, is it being created with the right username?
