Hello Buddypress,

I am currently developping a custom theme and I’m running into some problem.

When I run the funciton to check an activation key:
bp_core_activate_signup($KEY)

It doesn’t return the WP_Error class object but it’s redirecting the user and setting a cookie saying that the key is incorrect.

In the function it does say:

if ( empty( $user_id ) )
        {
            return new WP_Error( 'invalid_key', __( 'Invalid activation key', 'buddypress' ) );
        }

if I use die() infront of the return, it just dies. So it does pass the if statement.

Why is it when a WP_Error class object is being created, the browser redirects the user?

I just want the object.
