it is setup to accept new members, and I went through the registration process on the front end and it seemed to work just fine . . . until I never received the activation email.
Are you sure that the email was not placed in a spam folder?
Login as admin and go to domain.name/members/userid
There should be a marking stating the person is marked as a spammer. This comes from not activating the account from the email. It can be easily changed by pulling down from the admin bar.
nope, not in spam folder. when I try to input the link while logged in as admin, it simply redirects to the homepage. the bp site is http://www.thecrookedpolitician.com
test user is not showing up at all and is not marked as spam.
I was easily able to create a new user on the backend, so at least that part worked fine.
Just need to get the front end working. . . the test front end users never show up on the back end, and never get an activation email
ok, I will check it out . . . and post back what I find. Thanks r-a-y
