Hi,

I have been testing the template with buddypress and have found the following concerns and am providing this data for your information and to be aware with.

When having the wordpress “Anyone can register for this site” unchecked under settings but using your login from the top right like in demo, there seems to be an issue because it bypasses and allows users to register. Also, when you use the register form in your login template like the top right on demo, it does not recognize the register form for buddypress. How can I have this register link point to the proper registration for buddypress if possible? And would you be fixing the security bypass for the wordpress “Anyone can register for this site” unchecked option?

Thank you all !

Hello,
We will take a look, thanks. Also the users can register to site then they can go to profile to complete the buddypress profile.

OK thank you on the user registration info Marius. This sounds doable since it simplifies the registration process for some users who would be concern with that.

Just one last question on the registration. Can I add an additional filed to the register form such as DOB which i have added to the buddypress backend?
