allowing users to upload to your server some documents is a very bad idea while the registration process.
When a user register, you don’t know if he’s a human or a spam bot.
That’s why a newly register user is only pending and why he has to return an activation key before it is considered as a site member.
Or the site admin can ban him during the pending time, for some reason.
As long as you don’t be sure, a minima, of your new member, don’t allow him anything except viewing the site.
You’re talking about pdf, doc and docx, but on the register page nothing appears about what type of file they have to upload (as it is required) and for what !
Here you’ll be able to upload images. Try it out now! is a bit vague. And i don’t think that BuddyDrive is intended to be on the register page.
BuddyDrive is a per member based plugin and can be used on a profile or in a group. As long as a member is pending, meaning doesn’t really exist, it cannot work.

I understand everything that you’re saying, but everything that you’re saying through here is still not resolving my issue to get the registration process to work on my site. I am not allowing just any random person to upload to my server with random documents if I am not only having them labeled as “Authors” (where they are able to edit their OWN profiles and edit their OWN posts, so on and so forth) and not as “Administrators” (where a person has control to change up EVERYTHING on the site and the server), but also for the fact that this Vipress theme was created to be compatible with BuddyPress, therefore, allowing people to be able to create a profile with, in this case, the MyLoopNetwork.
As far as with the whole newly register user, I already know to keep in mind about who I allow to become a member for I am constantly checking the back end of my site on a regular basis. All I’m trying to do is create my own version of a website where users can sign up as a new user, create their own profiles, update their posts, upload their own pictures, connect with other MyLoopNetwork users, create groups that people can join, and pretty much build up on their own news feed through their profiles without conflicting with any sections or areas of the overall site.
I don’t know anything about this BuddyDrive plugin that you have mentioned, but for the record, this is my first WordPress website that I’ve been working on for months and I’m trying to learn as much as possible. I’m just trying to get some assistance on how to resolve certain issues that came across my way with configuring this particular theme. So with you saying, “You’re talking about pdf, doc and docx, but on the register page nothing appears about what type of file they have to upload (as it is required) and for what !” that’s what I’m trying to explain to you. That’s what pops up on my end and on other people’s end that are trying to create their own MyLoopNetwork profile, so therefore, I do not have any control over that, for I wasn’t the one that created that coding for it to show up that way. And then you was saying, “‘Here you’ll be able to upload images. Try it out now!’ is a bit vague.” you will have to ask the creator of this Vipress theme and ask them why they have it set that way because, once again, I am NOT the one that created this theme, and this is how it automatically showed up on the registration page when people were trying to create their profile. So unless you’re going to actually give me a full detailed, step-by-step guide on how to resolve the issues that I’m trying to fix, I thank you for your time and patience and I hope you have a good day.
I told about BuddyDrive because you have a download button aside a description written in french. And that plugin author is french, like me. And i’m a user of this plugin….
You use a premium theme, and we can’t help you much here if you have an issue with it. As we have no free access to it’s code.
As site admin, you can configure the registration form and add some description if you need some near a field.
Go to dashboard > users > profile fields
If you need some more details about BuddyPress feel free to read the Codex. And don’t hesitate to ask your theme support.
Have a nice day too.
The only reason why I started this topic was because I spoke to a WordPress representative and as I’ve done here, after explaining the issues to the rep, they said for me to get in contact with the creators of the plugin that allows me to do all of these news feed configurations so I assumed it was through here, BuddyPress. And I already was reading through the Codex, videos tutorials, support forums and speaking to numerous amounts of representatives and didn’t get anywhere. But okay, I will try reaching out to the creator of the Vipress theme and hopefully get my questions answered. Thank you.
