BuddyPress.org

I had this and it was driving me crazy – turns out it’s a simple wordpress setting rather than buddypress. Go to your wordpress dashboard > settings > general and allow users to register – you’ll then see the registration link

Try logging out before you try this.

I think you will find that it only works for logged out users… after all, why should a logged in member want to register?

I was having an issue with the security plugin “only registered users 2” and not being able to get to the registration page. Are there any security things in the way?

i have the same issue with the register page. I think a better solution is to have the theme point the old registration page…

dailynewarker: I checked on it this morning and I remember it happening on my local server, but not on a remote. So I scoured through bp-core-signup.php and found what i believe may be your issue with registration.

In an effort to support backwards compatibility, this line checks to see if you still have old bp-themes in wp-content.

if ( file_exists( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/bp-themes' ) )

return false;

If the directory exist’, then the function bp_core_screen_signup() is rendered false and redirected to the home_url via bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain );

First try removing the old ‘bp-themes’ directory from wp-content, or you may remove/comment out lines 17+18 of bp-core-signup.php. It’s just a little step in the upgrade process of forgetting to remove the old bp-themes directory but I hope this solves your issue.

I would dbl check it.. did you comment out the line in the core file or deactivate buddypress and then reactivate after you edited? I let it persist for long time until I took a look at that function, Also, do you have your home url set as an IP and not a domain or perhaps another of the compatibility functions? I’m unable to duplicate this error under a number of server conditions. If none of these are responsible, then Yes.. please file a ticket so it’ll get attended to.

No problem, I’m glad it helped. i can always replicate errors that come from NOT following directions since I almost never follow them.

Well, i get the same trouble and it looks like i get it after update to the last buddypress-version.

/register/ redirect to the homepage. I use wpmu – latest version. Anyone how knows a solution? Thanks for help! M

@designodyssey: nice if it works for you, but not for me. this is definitly not the problem

In bb-core.php -> bp_core_get_site_options()

if ( bp_core_is_multisite() )

$meta = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT meta_key AS name, meta_value

AS value FROM {$wpdb->sitemeta} WHERE meta_key IN ({$meta_keys})" );...

buddypress doesn’t seem to be checking for the site id – so if you have multiple sites defined (on different domains) you can get incorrect results.

Fixed this in my MU install by adding this filter

add_filter('bp_core_get_site_options', 'bp_tweaks_bp_core_get_site_options');

function bp_tweaks_bp_core_get_site_options($options){

global $wpdb;

$option_names = array_unique(array_keys($options));

$option_values = $wpdb->get_results("

SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM {$wpdb->sitemeta}

WHERE site_id={$wpdb->siteid}

AND meta_key IN ('".join("','", $option_names)."');

");

foreach($option_values as $v){

$options[$v->meta_key] = $v->meta_value;

}

return $options;

}
