bp registration page disappears after s2member is activtated

[Puzzled]

Hi,

Can anyone shed some light on the following issue please. I'm new at this so am learning as I go along.

I'm creating an online community which requires membership. I would like to use the buddypress registration page as I have incorporated various plugins in the sign up process. However, when I activate s2member / s2member pro the bp registration page no longer exists when I call up the http. All I'm getting is a redirect back to my membership options page after paying my membership fee at paypal. I have changed the return href in the generated paypal button but no luck redirecting the user back to a registration page.

I know it documents that if you use s2member pro you should rather use their custom registration setup but I would perfer to use my original bp registration page. Has anyone got a work around for this? Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there. Thanks for reporting your experience.

With s2Member installed, Open Registration defaults to OFF. In other words, your registration forms ( all of them, including BuddyPress /register/ ) will ONLY be accessible by a paid Member or a site Administrator. However, you can enable Open Registration by navigating to: s2Member -> General Options -> Open Registration. This will unlock your registration forms to the public.

As far as running s2Member Pro forms vs. BuddyPress registration forms, I don't see a problem. However, please paint us a picture of your installation. Are you running a Multisite Network, or a stand-alone installation of WordPress? Are you running BuddyPress with MultiBlog enabled?

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your reply:)

I'm running a Multisite Network at present. I followed the multisite config instructions to open the registration (as mentioned in your post) right in the beginning of the s2member integration process. Hence the confusion as to why I can't access the bp reg page even via its full http.

Even as a administrator/paid member I can't access the bp reg page:/

Is there anyway to use the bp registration page (registration/register.php) instead of s2memberPro registration page?

further info:

As soon as I activate s2memberPro my BuddyPress registration page is no longer accessible, and the sign up option has been removed from the admin bar. Note: I have open registrations enabled.

If I try to access /register I'm just sent to the website homepage.

Anyone have a work around for this problem?

I'm WP 3.0.1, BP1.2.6, s2member 3.2.9 + pro v1.2.7
We have multisite enabled, but members can't create blogs.

Did anyone get this fixed, i have the same problem?

[s2thel]

Dito! Did any of you eventually find a solution yet?

I don't use buddypress so I can't give you direct advice, but I did find this http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/registration-link-redirects-to-home-page/?topic_page=1&num=15 when I was troubleshooting some issues...

HI Jason,

I have the same problem. Here's our context:
Wordpress: 3.0.5
Buddypress: 1.2.7
S2Member: 3.3.2
S2Pro: 1.3.2

We have s2Member registration working with a PayPal Pro sandbox account. I can sign up a new user and have them pay all without leaving the site. Great

BUT .... s2Member Pro gathers all the profile fields leaving the Buddypress profile fields untouched. When the user goes to his Buddypress profile page all the fields (except FirstName) are blank. I have tried this with and without defining s2Member custom profile fields.

How do I get s2Member Pro with PayPal Pro to use the Buddypress profile fields on the regi form, OR (worst option) convince the BuddyPress profile pages and all profile functionality to use the s2Member Pro profile fields?

The option to 'enable Open Registration' (as you put it) is a no go. We do not want open registration - ie membership must be paid for.

Hi Agnes,

I've had no answer ... yet. Jason and his sharks have been surprisingly silent on this issue for about 2 weeks now. I'm beginning to think they're all on vacation.

If I can't get a resolution we may have to abandon s2Member and ask for our money back.

Just to be clear we are running a standalone, single-site Wordpress with BuddyPress. We are not running with MultiBlog enabled. We need the user sign-up registration fields to be those defined for BuddyPress.

Cheers

The new release of the plugin has fixed a problem with BuddyPress:

(s2Member). Bug fix. When s2Member was running together with BuddyPress, wp-login.php?redirect_to= logic implemented by BuddyPress was conflicting with s2Member's handling of wp-login.php?redirect_to=, including Login Welcome Page redirection. s2Member v3.5 resolves this BuddyPress conflict by removing all Filters applied by BuddyPress to login_redirect; thereby eliminating the conflict all together. This conflict was resolved in favor of s2Member, because s2Member provides a very comprehensive option configuration for this behavior in it's General Options panel.

Not sure if it'll solve your problem, but thought I'd let you know about it.

It doesn't seem to have been solved!
currently my registration page doesn't go to the buddypress register page.
It goes to the pre configured s2member one.
And the buddypress register page just redirects to the homepage.

As of today I am having the same issue. It was working fine when I was a single site but as soon as I turned to a network site it will not show the buddypress registartion only the s2 member page.

Any solutions?!

[phrantick]

I have no solution to this problem. But I hope Jason won't be upset if I forward some news he emailed me just last week: "This issue is being addressed for the next release of s2Member. Possibly as early as mid-March. Ideally, s2Member's Profile fields would appear in the BuddyPress Profile panel, and vice versa. This is what we'll be shooting for."

Hey guys.
So I figured out my issue.
I am using BP template pack.
What I hadn't done is move over the register folder to my child theme.
Check to see if that's there.
If it's not then basically the register.php file for BP isn't there.
Once I did that it all worked perfectly!
