Title: WP-Invite Plugin – problem Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # WP-Invite Plugin – problem * [Philipp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philippmuenchen/) * (@philippmuenchen) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/) * Hello! I do have a big problem with the WP-Invites Plugin and my WPMU 2.8.3 Installation! The Plugin works fine, but if I activate it, the registration-page doesn’t check wheater the username already exists. So someone is able to register with the same username. The effect is, that the new user overrides the original one. I need some help! Please! * Thanks Philipp * I forgot: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-invites/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-invites/) Viewing 13 replies - 16 through 28 (of 28 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/?output_format=md) 2 * Thread Starter [Philipp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philippmuenchen/) * (@philippmuenchen) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175442) * Hum! Thank you so much. But it doesn’t work for me. I don’t know why! * [joshmac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parkstreet/) * (@parkstreet) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175443) * What doesn’t work? * Thread Starter [Philipp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philippmuenchen/) * (@philippmuenchen) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175445) * I still can choose wheater I only want an Username or an Blog! * [joshmac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parkstreet/) * (@parkstreet) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175446) * Oh, wait a minute. Are you going to the buddypress registration page at example. com/register? * Thread Starter [Philipp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philippmuenchen/) * (@philippmuenchen) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175447) * Yes I do… But I think that this brings me to the normal wp_signup.php. * [joshmac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parkstreet/) * (@parkstreet) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175449) * No, it actually brings you to another file. I forgot that you are using buddypress. You need to make those changes twice. The second change is at /plugins/buddypress/ bp-core/bp-core-signup.php. You need to make the same changes to this file as well. Line 230, change to user and comment out the gimme blog line (you will start at the first

tag and end at the first closing

tag. Sorry about that, I forgot that you have to do it in two places. The two files have nothing to do with each other. Sometimes, people will go directly to wp-signup.php instead of clicking on the register link at your buddypress install. * Thread Starter [Philipp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philippmuenchen/) * (@philippmuenchen) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175450) * Ok. I’ll try it. But could it be that the plugin has the problem in reason of this file: /plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-signup.php * Maybe that’s the problem of the plugin? * [joshmac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parkstreet/) * (@parkstreet) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175451) * No, I use the plugin with my users registering at wp-signup.php. * Thread Starter [Philipp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philippmuenchen/) * (@philippmuenchen) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175453) * Ok! Now I can only choose that I want to register only. But I get the “Congratulations”- Page and also an email with the activation link. Why does the page not check wheater the username already exists? That’s the big question. Thank you sooooo much. But I don’t know weather this is enough… ;( * [joshmac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parkstreet/) * (@parkstreet) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175454) * Can you try to use the wp-signup.php and see if you get the same problem. I might be forgetting to comment something out, but choosing the username option worked before even doing any of that. I will check it out more when I get home. * Thread Starter [Philipp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philippmuenchen/) * (@philippmuenchen) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175459) * Yes. It’s the same problem with the wp-signup.php. ;( * Some other Idear? * Thanks a lot! * Thread Starter [Philipp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philippmuenchen/) * (@philippmuenchen) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175475) * Hello parkstreet! * Du you have some news? Otherwise I cant’t find a solution and so I would try it withe the Secure Invite plugin. But I really don’t want to… ;( * [Jehy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jehy/) * (@jehy) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-invite-plugin-problem/page/2/#post-1175529) * Problem with WP-Invites fixed. Please, put feedback with correct tags – or I won’t be able to read it because I don’t read forum. Also, you can leave feedback in my (author’s) blog, the link is on the plugin page.
