Activate wp_debug (set to TRUE) in the wp-config file. This can give you a lot of information about conflict and/or errors.
Is MAMP configured correctly ?

Can you correctly register a user from the back-end ?
Hey danbp!
I’ve activated to true but I don’t see any conflict or errors anywhere displayed.. Where should I look for?
In regard of MAMP, any specific settings you’re referring? I’ve done what your link said to do already. =)
Yes, I can register users from the back-end if you’re referring this as adding a new user in my dashboard?. I’ve also tried disabling buddy press and tried doing the registering and it works with bp disabled through wordpress (if this helps)
– Where should I look for? Nowhere. If you have an error, you will see it on the screen. But you can test this anyway. Remove a dot or another sign in one of BP’s file and you will be fixed very quickly ! ๐
– Sorry, i don’t use MAMP so i can’t give you any advice how to use it.
– If you can register a user from the dashboard, i guess the registration is working. Can you also change a password from there ? Tought the problem is elswhere.
Is mod_rewrite enabled on the server ? See your htaccess and httpd.conf in apache. Just in case of.
Now the unknown part: when you register a new user and enter a password and save, you say the page refresh and password is not showing. OK. But do you have a message telling about a missing data ?
GO to DB and check the wp_user table. Look about this new user and see if a hashed password is in the table. See also wp_signup table.
Also, do you use a single or a multisite install ?
Last but not least, did you allowed user registering ? (wp-admin/options-general.php – checkbox just after the site admin email)
Hey danbp,
Ok, I’ve tested with removing a period and reloaded the page and I saw an error message show up saying something wrong with the line 112 or something and I corrected it and saved again to see an error message but I didn’t see any errors..
โ Sorry, i donโt use MAMP so i canโt give you any advice how to use it. – I think everything is functioning properly and setup properly.. unless there someone here who has tips on Mamp =)
โ If you can register a user from the dashboard, i guess the registration is working. Can you also change a password from there ? Tought the problem is elswhere. – Yes, I can change the user’s password in the dashboard.
Is mod_rewrite enabled on the server ? See your htaccess and httpd.conf in apache. Just in case of. – Yes, mod_rewrite is enabled in httpd.conf but I don’t see any .htaccess in apache nor my root folder for the website.. should I make one?
Now the unknown part: when you register a new user and enter a password and save, you say the page refresh and password is not showing. OK. But do you have a message telling about a missing data ? – I’ve pressed the sign up button without inputting any password but it doesn’t give me any errors.. maybe this is a clue!?!? fingers crossed!
GO to DB and check the wp_user table. Look about this new user and see if a hashed password is in the table. See also wp_signup table. – The user I made in the dashboard, yes, it has the password field filled in and has the activation key filled too. I only see admin (original me) and this test user nobody else here. Also, when I go into wp_signup table, it’s empty.
Also, do you use a single or a multisite install ? – It’s single.
Last but not least, did you allowed user registering ? (wp-admin/options-general.php โ checkbox just after the site admin email) – Yes, everyone can register is checked in the settings.
htaccess is normaly in the site root folder. If none, create it and add this:
(this is only for a single default install). Even if it has nothing to do whith password registering.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
When you register a user from front end and enter the password, do you see dots when typing it ?
Once saved, is this new user figuring in wp_signup AND wp_user tables with a password ?
wp_signup is a temporary table where the new user is stored as long as he didn’t use the activation key. Once done, this entry is cleared and the account status of that user is changed in wp_user table.
the .htaccess file wasn’t there so I’ve created it.
When I register the user from the front end yes, I see dots when I type in the password. When I press the signup button, the password field(s) goes blank but all the other info I’ve typed in to register stays the same.
When I press the signup button WITHOUT inputting the password, it does the same thing, the screen refreshes with no error… When someone tries to register without a password, is it suppose to give an error? or is this normal?
Once saved, I’ve checked the wp_signup and users but nothing new is saved in the database.
So, there’s an issue with the new registrant getting saved under the wp_signup… =/
By the way! Thank you very much for helping me out here =) May God bless you!!
When someone tries to register without a password, is it suppose to give an error?
Yes of course, a big red writen error message ! As the other default fields on the register page, the pwd is absolutely necessary.
I really don’t know what happens to your install. Have you tried with another browser ?
The last thing to try would be to download a brand new copy of WordPress. Sometimes files are corrupted during a transfer. Then to test it alone, without any plugins.
Trash all existing WP folders and files from your htdocs(or www) directory first.
Hey,
Yeah.. no big red written errors even if I leave the password blank and hit the sign up button…
Yes, I have tried safari and chrome and firefox… all of them gives me the same response..
I did try to download the brand new copy of WordPress to narrow this problem down so right now, I have the fresh installed WP and the only plugin that’s installed is BuddyPress…
So to this problem, there are two things that are malfunctioning… one is that it doesn’t show any error messages when no password has been inputted, also, when the signup button is pressed, the form doesn’t submit the info to the wp_signup DB…
Should I make another post with this specific description to see if anyone else would have ideas to fix this issue or wait here?
No need to open another topic for this. You should be patient…
I told you to test WP alone firstly, without any plugins. And testing means also producing volontary errors, such as sending empty register fields… You have to do this to ensure that WP is working.
Once he does, you can add plugins and themes. Not all at the same time.
Yeah.. I’ve already tried that, I’ve actually replied with this on the second response to your message
Iโve also tried disabling buddy press and tried doing the registering and it works with bp disabled through wordpress (if this helps)
hi, I’m Japanese.
Sorry, my English is poor.
But, good news to you.
I had a problem same you.

Hey wavez02! Thank you so much for trying to help even though English is not your first language! I tried my best to understand your fix and tried few things but not working yet… I was wondering if you can reply in Japanese since I can probably translate them and understand it better! =)
Hi, it’s lunch time in Japan now.
oh… not working yet…
Setting MAMP’s virtualhost and access to virtualhost on your browser.
for example,
httpd-vhosts.conf
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
<VirtualHost *:8001>
DocumentRoot โ/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpressโ
</VirtualHost>
————————————————————–
Browse URL…”http://localhost:8001/”
I think so resolve with it…

Hey wavez,
So, I’ve done what you’ve told me to do by translating your Japanese. But I have few new issues.
1. when I type localhost:8001/church this automatically changes to the previous port to 8888… and page not found.
2. sometimes the page loads with the 8001 port but, no styling of CSS. the design is missing.
How can I make it so that the port stays at 8001? Thank you! =)
This topic is going over this forum scope. Keep in mind whe’re handling BuddyPress related question first.
For MAMP specific questions, please use the appropriate MAMP support.
Than you.
Hi danbp,
Yes, I know but… I’m sure someone will find this post very helpful in the future since it is related to BP… not entirely but a very big portion of it. There’s no post out there that I found where it had the answer to my problem and we’re just getting close to resolving it I feel!! =)
