No not yet sorry… I’m still having trouble re-creating the issue. I thought I was seeing it but then I realised that I was accidentally including some extra characters on the end of an activation key. I have set up a local version of the site and I have been trying to work my way into the crux of the functions doing the work and can’t seem to find anything wrong… I’m more and more thinking that the users who have reported this are doing something wrong or it is something to do with click through from the link.

I will keep you posted as I need to fix this issue myself, if I can’t find it. That is the issue at the moment I can’t seem to reproduce it myself. Every time I sign up it works. but I have users that seem to be stuck in “pending activation” some of which might be due to lack of actually trying to activate.

Arg!

<?php 
 $user = get_userdatabylogin('busaany'); echo $user->ID;
 echo get_user_meta( $user->id , 'activation_key', true );?>

Sorry that first code block got ugly:

<?php 
                                                                                                        $user = get_userdatabylogin('busaany'); echo $user->ID;
                                                                                                        echo get_user_meta( $user->id , 'activation_key', true );?>

I am having this exact issue. I am a developer and I know how to run through the steps mentioned here..

What I have tried is to find a user that is stuck in not being activated and running putting this on one of my pages:

<?php                                                                                                        $user = get_userdatabylogin('busaany'); echo $user->ID;                                                                                                    echo get_user_meta( $user->id , 'activation_key', true );
?>

This yeilded an activation key:
2429b4ee92830f6557b5b5be271b5078defe

So I tried to plug that into the activation key url as such:

http://bounty.co.nz/activate-account/?key=2429b4ee92830f6557b5b5be271b5078defe

This brought me to the invalid key page as mentioned by others… This is a major issue and I am getting all sorts of stress/grief from my client. I am 100% committed to fixing this issue myself if that is what has to be done. But I was hoping that my putting this here could give the buddy press devs some more info on what is going on. This use HAS signed up, this use HAS tried to go to this link and it failed first time.

I have used a plugin called buddypress pending activations to try and remedy this and trouble shoot it. It allows me to figure out who is being caught and it is a non-trivial amount of users. The user remains in the pending regardless of visiting that link or entering the code into the box on the page…

Any leads? I will be getting this locally set up and try and debug buddypress as I am certain this is buddypress thing now not a server issue. But if you can get me any help or direction that would be great. If I can fix this I will let you guys know and we can get this resolved in the core.

Thank you! No wonder I could not find any answers to my non-issue issue
