    Hi Brajesh,

    I’ve been testing Ajax registration and if BP Registration options is loaded, which is probably on a lot of sites, then BuddyPress activation emails are no longer sent. My test system only had BP, BPRO and BPAR loded, so it’s pretty conclusive, not sure which plugin is to blame.

    Hi George,
    The Ajax registration does not send activation emails and stops it(since the account is activated automatically).

    Can you please tell me how do you want to work and I may put some code(The plugin has filters to disable automatic activation etc).

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Ah I see, However when I loaded it on my site Ajax Registration left new members needing to be activated but without the activation email.

    I think the activation process is an important part of the security for my site, it makes sure that the email address is a valid one, so I would like to see the activation email being sent out.

    Also, would it by possible to hook this into BuddyPress Signup Avatar?

    Hi George,
    My apologies for the delayed reply.

    I have got the BP Ajax Registration plugin updated but I will need a little more time today to test with the registration options.

    I will post the updated plugin early tomorrow.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Hi George,
    Please add following line to your bp-custom.php

    
add_filter( 'bpajaxr_is_auto_activation_mode', '__return_false' );

    That will disable auto activation and your site will have normal registration process.

    PS: An update is also available that enables the registration from wp-login.php page too. you may want to upgrade.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Yes that seems to fix it, it seems to fix the issue with users being assigned to the wrong membership type and also the user visibility issue I had too.
