Can your site send normal WP admin emails?

Try creating a user in wp-admin – did it send you an email?

hey thx for answering
nope I cant send normal WP admin emails or to be exact where would I send these?
and yes I created a user and this fake user pops up in the members list but it did not get a email …

WordPress sends emails automatically to the admin (you I presume!).

If you are not getting those mails when you create users in wp-admin, then your mail isn’t configured properly in WordPress (as with ‘freeriders’ system in the thread I gave you).

You need to fix that before proceeding with BuddyPress install.

Look in the WordPress Codex for details on setting up / configuring the mail settings.

You might want to go over other WP configurations which need to be working well before installing BuddyPress for a less bumpy ride later..

P.S. “BuddyPress, pls kill me” just caught my eye
