Unless your issue is reproducible by BP devs, it is nigh impossible to suggest a fix.
To narrow down the possible sources of the issue…
Have you tried momentarily switching to a WP theme like 2017 ?
Have you tried deactivating all other plugins and, if the issue goes away, then activating them one at a time? It’s a real pain, but often the only way to identify the source of a conflict.
Have you tried switching the BP template pack under Settings > BP > Options ?
Have you tried turning on WP_DEBUG and then checking your error log ?
Ok, I’ll start working through these steps and report back what I find.
Thanks
OK,
so after turning off all plugins, I was able to narrow it down to an issue I believe may be specific to buddypress. To solve the issue I created a functions.php under my child theme and added the following code:
add_filter( 'bp_email_use_wp_mail', '__return_true' );
Then under Tools > BuddyPress I selected “re-install emails.” Now the registration emails get sent on signup.
I think I just needed the encouragement to take everything apart which is something I was really resisting. Appreciate it 🙂
