Disable BuddyPress Registration Page and Force Wordpress Registration Page

[kachan64]

If you are fed up with a custom registration page that BuddyPress creates, this is a simple fix.
There are several reasons why you may want to do this:

• A custom themed login page that some plugin or even custom CSS creates.
• Use external registration page.
• Use captcha support from WordPress' default registration page.

I looked around for solutions and tried different codes in my theme's function.php and the result always failed. And finally I found BuddyPress' equivalent of function.php called bp-custom.php (read here on BuddyPress Codex).

And paste this simple code:

Code: Select all

<?php
// Code taken from http://chatngo.co/bb/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=277
function my_disable_bp_registration() {
	remove_action( 'bp_init',    'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect' );
	remove_action( 'bp_screens', 'bp_core_screen_signup' );
}
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'my_disable_bp_registration' );

add_filter( 'bp_get_signup_page', "firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page");
	function firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page($page ){
        return bp_get_root_domain() . '/wp-login.php?action=register'; 
}
?>
