umm. I tried that as well, didn’t seem to work, I used the example from github but I am still not seeing autopopulate of the field.

So i will take a break!
lol

<input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”Activate”>

wow, This worked? I’ve been scratching my head for 2 hours..

So now the submit button does not work?
maybe its just a php class issue thats not identical to the original.

Also this test i did in an incogneto window as well. so.

at least I know that the “Activation Key” is actually in the email that is sent saying “click here to activate”.

It would be nice if i could just make it redirect them to the dashboard allowing the email click to be an official registration…

Hi,

I was having the same issue, It turns out, the LINK that is sent in the email IS the activation key.

The text for the activation link shows https://mysite.com/register/yxyxyxyxyxyxyxyx/

the actual hyperlink is https://eur29.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmysite%2Factivate%2FTupSrVxRicmnKIEsQiuIlovErbwriTzJ%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C201b5e1d1dd54668ac5708d5c15eb009%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636627534774115404&sdata=qtu4TSSlCTvw7dSb7rmJoJkqkbp672R9ccFUuPuDA9M%3D&reserved=0

So I believe when the user lands at the activation page, the activation link is supposed to be auto populated. maybe there is a script or a listener on the page waiting for the activation link.

I think maybe due to the spam protector, the hyperlink is encrypted or screwed up, which keeps the “activation page” from listening for the key (which it would normally auto-populate)

I dont know if this is just an outlook issue, i haven’t tested it anyfurther. nor do i know if its an email server issue.

This first test user, the activation link was sent from a wordpress generated email (not tied to smtp or anything) i had to dig the email out of my spam.

so i’ll register the bbpress with an actual smtp email, and send to a gmail, and a yahoo..
and see if it auto populates the activation key field.

long story short, the activation link is in the url of the email link (with exception for mysite.com/register/)
