    Hi. I set up a BuddyPress 1.5.3.1 website on BP default theme 1.5.3.1.

    Initially the registration process worked.

    But now a few weeks in, the Confirmation/Activation Email is NOT being sent out.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Have you tried installing http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ then sending a test email from the settings page?

    The debug information should indicate where the problem is and the error codes can be googled for further info if necessary….

    Aces,

    Good idea. Cool pluggin. I was looking for a SMTP pluggin, but some how missed this one.

    I was able to install WP-Mail-SMTP.

    I sent a “test” message from inside WP-Mail-SMTP and it went through.

    However, when I tried to sign up / register a test member, NO Confirmation / Activation email was sent

    I removed and re-installed BP, but still same problem.

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks.

    Rockter,

    Good idea. I did look in junk folders. Still no email.

    I am convinced it is not being sent out of BP/WP registration.

    Other ideas?

    Thanks.

    The last post on http://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/sign-up-email/ has another suggestion, using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

    Aces,

    I tried the Mail From plugin. That did not work.

    I did finally have success (thanks to your post links and some tests).

    Here is what worked:

    1. Created a brand new email address at my host called noreply@mydomainname.com.
    2. Installed the WP Mail SMTP plugin.
    3. Entered the new noreply email account info into WP Mail SMTP and used it as the SMTP for the site outgoing mail.

    Then I tested it. I entered a new test member. I received the Confirmation / Activation Email. I clicked and was activated.

    It’s not perfect, but it works.

    Thank you for your persistent help.

    -Mike
