okay… so last thing I checked in the General Settings was that I still had the “www” in the path. So I removed it and now ALL HAIL THE KING… I get an activation email!
I am having the same issue. WordPress 3.3.1 and BuddyPress 1.5.4
Added the custom code from above to the functions.php – did not help. Cannot get the activation email to get sent and I have tried 15 different REAL email accounts including comcast.net, verizon.net and yahoo.net.
After Registration… it lands me on the Registration Complete message… tells me an activation email is waiting for me. But also have the Gravatar Upload available. If I try to upload anything, it just bumps me out, because I have NOT activated yet.
I am STUMPED! I will try deactivating ALL plugins but I am down to the bare bones now.
Someone please help… I am weeks over due and I thought I was just about ready to launch… now this!
Please also… I am open for suggestions as this is only 1/2 half in process and want to get it right this time around. And I will NOT be using multi-user environment at all. So there will not be user blogs or user sites. Just groups (private & public) with forums.
