Answer – Use a default theme when editing those settings.

I have it doing all the emails now with my new mail plugin.

[@sounds Participant 9 years, 4 months ago]

I fixed my email sending issue by installing WP-Mail-SMTP plugin,
The old plugin I was using is broke: WP Mail From II

WP-Mail-SMTP

I set it to Send all WordPress emails via SMTP.
I ticked Set the return-path to match the From Email.

I’m using cPanel email so I logged into my cPanel email and clicked Set Up Mail Client link.
You’ll see the username and password and port you need to put in the WP-Mail-SMTP config.

SMTP Port: local
SMTP Port: the outgoing port
For encryption I selected use SSL as I have free autoSSL installed for cPanel.

Yes: Use SMTP authentication.

Username: your email address
Password: Email password

And that’s it.. tested send email to another email address, all good.

Newly registered account are getting the activate email, well I did anyway.

Thank you for the pointer, I fixed my email sending issue by installing WP-Mail-SMTP plugin,

I set it to Send all WordPress emails via SMTP.
I ticked Set the return-path to match the From Email.

I’m using cPanel email so I logged into my cPanel email and clicked Set Up Mail Client link
You’ll see the username and password and port you need to put in the plugin config.

SMTP Port: local
SMTP Port: the outgoing port
For encryption I selected use SSL as I have the free SSL installed for cPanel.

Yes: Use SMTP authentication.

Username: your email address
Password: Email password

And that’s it.

Now new users who register an account are getting the email to activate their own accounts.

Jesus why didn’t I notice this earlier but the old plugin I was using is broke: WP Mail From II

[@sounds Participant 9 years, 4 months ago]

I created a test user account on my site,
If I go to Users > manage signups, I see the new user account,
So I click the email link to resend the activation email,
It sends the new account activation email

Why doesn’t it send it when the user created the account?
And I need to know is Buddypress forcing new members into that pending list?
Meaning it’s not automatically registering new accounts or sending them their activation email when they sign up.

I’m confused.

[@sounds Participant 9 years, 4 months ago]

I also noticed if I sign up as a new member I get to the page that says success and an email
has been sent to verify your account, but the email never comes.

If I activate the member accounts manually an email is sent saying there is a new member,
So I know my email is working on the server side right?

I don’t know where the mail settings are in wordpress or if it’s some setting in Buddypress?

I need to allow new registrations to be approved automatically, I thought there was an option for this.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hardly paranoid considering we’re talking about a piece of software.

What I meant was, the toolbar is belong to wordpress, as you mentioned.
It’s strange that they add a feature and don’t include any options to remove different
elements of the toolbar, like it didn’t matter or they left it up to someone else to deal with.

I thought I added the two links myself actually with some customizer plugin, not the case.

[@sounds Participant 9 years, 11 months ago]

Thanks,

So this is another case where they decided to leave out any option to disable these items/nodes?

I can see it in chrome

[@sounds Participant 10 years, 1 month ago]

Ah no luck, I tried it in firefox also,
If I search page source I can see bp-admin-component-submit
But I can’t see it when I inspect it in chrome or firefox

[@sounds Participant 10 years, 1 month ago]

I just diactivated all plugins, then installed BP again, still no save button.

Using chrome to inspect elements for BuddyPress Settings page:

Still no joy, no save button.
I did a manual install this time.

[@sounds Participant 10 years, 1 month ago]

I was a bit exhausted sorry folks, anyone out there

[@sounds Participant 10 years, 2 months ago]

Great well time to move onto a platform with support.

Bye

BTW I just noticed, hitting ENTER saved the Components settings,
But that doesn’t work for the Pages tab.

Under the Pages tab I can see a new field for Groups, clicking View shows the Groups page,
However the other 4 fields, activity, active, members, register, can’t view those pages.
It takes me back to the BP settings page instead, no save button at the bottom.

[@sounds Participant 10 years, 2 months ago]

I have just created the 4 pages, Members, Activity Streams, Activate, Register
No luck yet, I’ll delete, reinstall BP and see if it recognises my 4 new pages.
the first time i installed BP it had the 4 pages already filled in, not this time…

Reinstalled, no save button, pages not selected under page tab.
