Paul, thanks for the quick reply. Regarding why I hacked the core; being perfectly straight with you, it’s probably not so much to do with missing filters or actions as, when I began using bp to accomodate our project, I would say my bp knowledge was at best remedial, and because of the turnaround time of getting the ball rolling I found that I could accomplish my needs much faster by editing the core files vs. trying to figure out how the filters worked. Backwards, I know—now I’ve got some idea of how things work, but I’ve already made so many small changes that I fear it would futile to try and identify them and update. I suppose I could at some point try and diff everything but at the current point it seems a monumental undertaking.
That said, I can confirm that the server is operating properly and emails are getting sent effectively. As previously noted, the activation is taking place via the activation link, but for some reason that small percentage of users is experiencing the aforementioned, where they’re being prompted for an activation key even though they’ve just clicked on the activation link from the email and their user_status has been updated to 0. Also, as of about a week or so ago, we’re now going through sendgrid so I can monitor every email that goes out via wp/bp. The activation issue we’re having was happening well before and after the sendgrid implementation so I also know it’s not the url conversion that takes place from whitelabeling. What I’m going to try and do is keep creating dummy users in a test environment until I can hopefully reproduce the error so that I may provide to you an example activation link that’s failing.
