Disable Activation Email (4 posts)

    I’m getting spammed and have identified that they are using bots to create member accounts, then using the activation email to validate (typically with .info domains).

    Does anyone know how to disable sending the activation email in a plugin? WPMU 2.9.2, BP 1.2.2.1

    I have adapted the manual-member-approve plugin written by Matt Kern to work with BuddyPress and I have added the ability to “activate”, “send activation email”, “delete from wp-signup”.

    Basically just doing a manual approval process since spammers are easily identifiable, but I want to disable the automatic sending of the activation email…

    Thanks in advance.

    Andy’s solution was for WP, but it didn’t work for WPMU. For WP, there’s this plugin: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-disable-activation/ We’ve been working on an MU solution in this thread: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/i-would-like-to-disable-email-activation/?topic_page=1&num=15) However, haven’t quite gotten it to work right.
