And what if the theme is hiding the checkbox?

I’m using BuddyPress, and want to use PMPro only for those people who want to become members I allow some public access to the site, and commenting for people who “subscribe” without becoming members. So I wanted to allow people to choose to “subscribe” without becoming members – which is why PMPro’s default got in my way: people can’t register via BuddyPress.

I raised this issue with PMPro and they expressed a willingness to work with me. Mind you, the solution they are likely to propose would be an adjustment to their BuddyPress Add On. That might not apply to you.

But they are looking at the issue, and whatever they find that clears the way for BuddyPress registrations should be tweakable for WordPress registrations as well.

That’s the best I can say for now. I will keep you posted.

Problem “partially” solved: Though the PMPro BuddyPress Add On Settings, unlocking all BuddyPress to non-members allows registration to proceed.

This is not ideal, as I intended to allow registered non-members to only have access to standard WP features such as commenting. Full BuddyPress is meant for members.

This is clearly a PMPro settings issue, as far as I am concerned. If you agree, reply and mark resolved.

Additional information:
I also am using BuddyPress v 3.0.0

In the BuddyPress Settings – Pages, I have set Register to link to https://www.concordcommunitiesalliance.org/register/ – the same location to which the Register button is linked. The only content on that page is the TML shortcode.

UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR
When I use the “view” button on the BuddyPress Settings – Pages Register entry, it directs me to a page I have designated as the custom redirect destination AFTER log in, which happens to be a page restricted to users with member roles. I would have expected that redirection to the Register page would have invoked the TML register process.

Thoughts?

I had this same difficulty (and a related one – the subject of a separate support request). Here’s what PMPro said. The link is to the question thread.

“Paid Memberships Pro by default redirects away from the default register page to point to the membership levels page. You may add the following code to your PMPro Customizations Plugin –

add_filter( “pmpro_register_redirect”, “__return_false” );

This should stop user’s redirecting to the restricted access page.”

Note that this requires adding a pmpro-customizations plugin. Here’s a link on how to do that.

And here’s the link to my original question thread (note that the solution did not work for my problem, but might for yours).
