By default, the platform does not have this option. You can use the following function code to disable validation for registration.


Please follow the steps below:


1. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor.

2. Under “Select theme to edit”, choose (BuddyBoss Child/whatever theme is active), then click “Select”.

3. Below Theme Files, select Theme Functions (functions.php).

4. Append the code just before the closing PHP tag “?>”:


function disable_validation( $user_id ) {
  global $wpdb;
  $wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_status = 0 WHERE ID = %d", $user_id ) );
  $users = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT activation_key, user_login FROM {$wpdb->prefix}signups WHERE active = '0' ");  foreach ($users as $user) {
   bp_core_activate_signup($user->activation_key);
   BP_Signup::validate($user->activation_key);   //fix roles
   $user_id = $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->users WHERE user_login = '$user->user_login'");   $u = new WP_User( $user_id );
   $u->add_role( 'subscriber' );
  }
  }  add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'disable_validation' );
  add_filter( 'bp_registration_needs_activation', '__return_false' );
  add_filter( 'bp_core_signup_send_activation_key', '__return_false' );

5. Click Update File to save the changes.
