We have a large educational community that require training once they login for the first time, and welcome pack was a huge simplifier for us in getting new members started in the network. Also we’re looking forward to using invite friends in bp-events once that starts working, and for the group admin to be instant friend to every new member is something of a future move for us.
Problem is with the email borking out the user doesn’t receive their password and cannot login. And setting up a new user via the admin menu at the top doesn’t invoke welcome pack, but does send user their access info.
So we’re excited to see this issue resolved as well!
Except the problem persists without welcome pack even being activated; I tested with buddypress being the only active plugin and the email broke as stated above when buddypress is activated; did not break when buddypress was inactive.

Anyone else having the problem driz mentioned here? I also can’t seem to get the new forums directory page working. Have re-done everything I can think of; still just goes to the original kakumei themed bbpress forums page. Is there anything typical anyone knows of that can cause this?
There are 2 places in the WPMU Dashboard an admin can add a new user. Further up in the Site Admin>Users menu, and further down in Users>Add New. Welcome Pack is only activated if a user is added from the Users>Add New menu. And as mentioned above, that is where the glitch occurs.
In testing more thoroughly found the WPMU notifications work fine from both places in the Dashboard when BuddyPress is disabled. When BuddyPress is active the “Add New User” in WPMU develops the glitch as described above.
Sure, I understand thanks for your help. I’m going to do some more digging. It feels like this is shaping up to be a WPMU issue. Welcome Pack is sending out everything it’s supposed to, and the problem is still there when the plugin’s deactivated. Will let you know what I find out.
When I use the site admin>users method it doesn’t engage with Welcome Pack, which is the same thing that happened in my previous version of BuddyPress. The activation email gets killed there too, just tested that.
Yep, I go to the main blog via Users menu (not site admin>users) and input the username and email address, select skip confirmation email, send. I get all of the notifications welcome pack sends out EXCEPT the email with username & randomly generated password that should replace that activation email shown above. (I’m thinking this is a wordpress email? Not sure.)
The weird thing is when I do the same process from a sub-blog everything behaves the same except I DO get the email with the username & randomly generated password in addition.
In case it helps here’s what happens over 3 tests from each main & sub blog dashboards:
MAIN BLOG DASHBOARD:
1. Broken activation email – came first all 3 times
2. Then these 3 come, random order each time:
Welcome pack welcome email
Welcome pack friend invite email notification
Welcome pack group invite email notification
SUB BLOG NEW USER:
1. Broken activation email
2. Then these 4 come, random order each time:
Account is setup email with username and randomly generated password
In case it helps, see the activation email that I get below, it gives up at the link. This message gets sent even though I had skip activation email selected, and no email stating username and password is sent.
Hi,
You’ve been invited to join ‘CoP Literacy Network – Sandbox’ at
I am also having problems with Welcome Pack. BP1.1 & BP1.1.1 same problem, WPMU2.8.4a. Fatal error on activation of the plugin, though it mostly works here’s what I get:
Register a user as admin in dashboard, select “skip confirmation”. Sends out confirmation anyhow, and email dies at activation link. I do get all other welcome pack emails except:
If sent from main WPMU blog don’t get the email that states username & pw
If sent from sub blog do get the email that states username & pw
Both tests have the same confirmation email that shouldn’t be sent that dies at activation link.
Me too… after bp upgrade custom avatars are missing. Gravatars are there, but any custom avatar uploaded before the upgrade just shows img title, no img. I was able to upload the avatar again without an error. I did the upgrade on a sandbox installation, but will wait for a solution before upgrading live site to 1.1.
