As I said to Paul… Being “a bit off-putting” is not my normal MO, but the original post was written two weeks ago and the only thing that’s happened since is a whole bunch of people have said “I have the same problem”. It hasn’t been until I was “a bit off-putting” that someone actually replied to the original question/post.
Enough about that.
Sorry, but your questions are a bit over my head. Any and all PHP coding I know is completely self taught and I’m not far enough along to grasp what you’re asking me to look for.
@DJPaul
It’s funny you should say that when it wasn’t until two weeks later (after the original post) that a moderator / support team member (you) chimed in on this, and that was because someone (me) wasn’t very polite (intentionally). So it looks like rudeness, not my normal MO, went a little bit further than politeness (this time), but served its purpose none the less. Thanks for responding.
Now, to answer your question / statement…
1.) My hosting environment is linux, not windows.
2.) My install of wordpress does send emails successfully, until I activate Buddypress (then it breaks).
3.) The emails aren’t going to SPAM, lol. That was the first thing I checked (on 5 different email accounts).
@pisanojm
1.) 4xjunction.com
2.) WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.5.2
3.) PHP 5.x
4.) Yes, they allow PHP mail (it works fine until Buddypress is activated)
5.) Yes, I’ve tried with all plugins off
6.) It works with the default as well as any other theme, except Buddypress
What kind of support forum is this? If you google about this “buddypress activation email problem” it’s all over the !@#&% place, and no one has an answer? I’ve seen forum after forum post, thread, question, whatever and well over a dozen “fixes”, none of which have worked for me.
This is absurd. Registrars not getting their activation emails and, as a result, not being able to log in, basically renders Buddypress USELESS. I wished I’d known about this before I spent the last three !@#&% days customizing my site.
Here’s an idea… Don’t release this crap without being 110% sure that the most important feature (people being able to become members) works.
And at the very least can you guys answer the question… How can we fix the problem?
