Now it’s redirecting to the WordPress admin page for a user account. Not the super admin for the site, but just the account. Not sure I recall editing anything for this to happen.
So I already had installed wp mail smtp, got all that setup…
So then I updated the buddypress plugin with the newest version that I think dropped today.
Then I installed wp better emails, reinstalled/reinstated emails in tools->buddypress, and the activation email thing works.
The only issue I’m having now is that I can activate the account, but I can’t login because it says that the password is incorrect, even though it isn’t. So that’s progress anyway.
But I’m not sure what to do now.
So if I go to the login area of my site, I enter my username and password, and then it sends me to a default WordPress login page. So I enter the info again, and it says that it’s the incorrect password. Should I basically be logging in twice like that? Once on my site, then once via the default WordPress login, only to be denied access?
I dunno. I’m no expert, but I do know enough to not start clicking extra things when you aren’t entirely sure what to do.
I say that because all I started with was installing buddy press. Got the register thing up and running, and ran into this problem straight away.
Chatted with WordPress who helped me find a thread here which is where I installed WP Mail SMTP, which will send a test email just fine, but nothing else. I even see that you registered.
Yes. I installed WP Mail SMTP and tried all that. Though I’m seeing something I may not have tried so I’m going to give that a go and see what happens.
