BP-Social 'Sign Up' button and 'Search'

I’ve decided to convert bestagentblogs.com over to the BP-Social theme. It looks great, but I have a couple of niggling issues:

While the text ‘Sign-up for Free’ works, the green ‘Sign Up’ button after the ‘Already a member?’ fields seems to link to the primary domain rather than any sign-up page. How is is supposed to work? Will it try to Sign a user up with the username and password a user enters?

The other issue is the ‘Search’ widget that doesn’t appear to be optional. It doesn’t find anything. I was using a custom google search for the site, and that still works. What do I need to do to get the default search working though?

    hi Christofire

    that’s coz the ‘sign-up for free’ are assuming already edited by you on theme option -> wlecome text right?…where does the register/signup you want to point to?

    the default signup page are

    http://yourdomain.com/register

    but still you can open top-header.php and edit the form line 48+

    < input type="button" name="signup-submit" id="signup-submit" value="<?php _e( 'Sign Up', 'bp-social' ) ?>" onclick=" location.href='http://inputyoursite-register here' " />

    @search function

    the wordpress search widget are working fine in my end.

    did you used the appearence -> widget -> search from wordpress widget?

    I probably jacked-up the default handling when I followed advice to rename my register page to limit auto-splogging. I’ll try to retrace my steps and return it to the default setup.

    Can I use these buttons with the Anti-Splog plugin feature that “moves” the registration page? That would be ideal.

    RE: the search button, I’m not actually using ANY widget for it. With nothing in the widget section, the standard (non-working) search box appears. If I ad a search widget, BOTH widgets will appear.

    It seams the GoogleCSE plugin is incompatible with the standard search on this blog. Once disabled, the wordpress search works fine.

    Is there a way to integrate a site-wide search into the standard widget included with this theme, or do I need to add both search widgets?

    hi chris

    the bp search with drop down are ready (do not need widget) in right sidebar.

    you can still go to widget and add normal search widget into homepage.

    here's an example with both normal search and bp search exist.

    cheers

    This is driving me nuts… I want to try to use the Anti-Splog plugin with this theme. I’ve determined that the sploggers are coming either through the BuddyPress registration or BBpress — and NOT from the WPMU registration. So, I would like to disable BP and BBPress registrations and use the re-name wp-signup feature of the Anti-Splog plugin.

    My problem is that I don’t know php well enough to replace

    Sign-up for free »` link

    with

    <?php ust_wpsignup_url(); ?>

    for the both the text link and the ‘Sign Up’ button. Can anyone help?

    where does the function ust_wpsignup_url() called from..is it from plugins

    or your own custom function?

    actually if you want to redirect to certain url..you can just enter full path like

    require('./wp-load.php');

    wp_redirect( 'http://this-is-my-reg-site.com/register....blah....php' );

    or see if this work

    require('./wp-load.php');

    $custom_redirect = ust_wpsignup_url(); // if there's a get call.....get_ust_wpsignup_url();

    wp_redirect( $custom_redirect );

    cheers
