Privacy Policy checkbox on registration page

Or you can add small disclaimer (like “By registering, you agree to our Terms and confirm that you have read our Privacy Policy“).

I can certainly appreciate why this might be useful, but it seems a little different from what this plugin is attempting to do. Perhaps you could acheive the same result with a simple code snippet?

For example, here’s an easy way to add some disclaimer text to the registration form:

add_action( 'bp_before_registration_submit_buttons', function () { ?>
  
  <p style="clear: both">
  	By registering, you agree to our <a href="<?php echo home_url( 'terms' ); ?>">Terms</a>
  	and confirm that you have read our <a href="<?php echo home_url( 'privacy' ); ?>">Privacy Policy</a>.
  </p>
  
<?php }, 11 );

The advantage of using a snippet instead of having a feature in the plugin is that it is very easy to modify the text or appearance whenever you need to.

Adding a checkbox requires a little extra code to validate that it was checked and display an error if not:

add_action( 'bp_before_registration_submit_buttons', function () { ?>
	<div style="clear: both;">
		<?php do_action( 'bp_privacy_policy_errors' ); ?>
		<p>
			<input type="checkbox" name="agree-to-privacy-policy" checked>
			I agree with the <a href="<?php echo home_url( 'privacy' ); ?>">Privacy Policy</a>
		</p>
	</div>
	<?php
}, 11 );

add_action( 'bp_signup_validate', function () {
	global $bp;
  
	if ( ! isset( $_POST['agree-to-privacy-policy'] ) || $_POST['agree-to-privacy-policy'] !== 'on' ) {
	  $bp->signup->errors['privacy_policy'] = 'Please confirm that you agree with our privacy policy';
	}
} );
