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.

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.

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.

Paul,

Hi. Thanks for responding.

Do you mean the Friends Connections check box in BP Components?

If yes, then “yes” that box is checked.

Mercime,

Hi. Thank you for the idea and code.

I am using Suffusion. I already had a Child Theme. So I tried to enter the code into it.

It did not work. Here was the error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/stm/public_html/wp-content/themes/suffusion-child/groups/groups-loop.php on line 16

(Line 16 was the changed line of code.)

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Mercime, Thank you for responding. I am using Suffusion (child) theme. After I cleared the cache, I still have problem.

I have been testing the username question. I can EDIT with the admin. I can EDIT with a single name username created inside WP. But then I could NOT edit with a different single name username. I just created a username with a space (WP put a hyphen in th space) and I was able to EDIT.

Appreciate your thoughts.

-Mike

P.S. Thanks for the Google Search idea. I would not have thought of that.

Mercime,

Thank you. Excellent post recommendation on Forum Configurations.

Still looking for location of bbPress DATABASE to back-up. Any ideas?
