BuddyPress.org

It’s a staging site that doesn’t have public access, but I can put the code and info in here. Here is the complete code of the functions.php in the child theme. maybe I just put it all together wrong.

<?php
function nisarg_enqueue_styles() {

    $parent_style = 'nisarg-style';

    wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap', get_template_directory_uri().'/css/bootstrap.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'font-awesome', get_template_directory_uri().'/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css' );   
    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

    wp_enqueue_style( 'nisarg-child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style )
    );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'nisarg_enqueue_styles' );
?>
<?php
function custom_wp_mail_from( $email ) {
        $handle = ‘accounts’;
	$find = 'http://'; 
	$replace = '';
	$link = get_bloginfo( 'url' );
	$domain = str_replace( $find, $replace, $link );
	return $handle . '@' . $domain ;
}
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'custom_wp_mail_from' );
?>

The email link is:http://mydomain.com/activate/JA0BvkK1Q0DND10SYegdOtkTMemhGUF0/

When I click on it immediately, I get all this:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘phpmailerException’ with message ‘Invalid address: ‘accounts’@mydomain.com’ in /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:946 Stack trace: #0 /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-includes/pluggable.php(352): PHPMailer->setFrom(‘\xE2\x80\x98accounts\xE2\x80\x99@…’, ‘WordPress’) #1 /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-includes/pluggable.php(1726): wp_mail(‘webmaster@arlin…’, ‘[My Dev Sit…’, ‘New user regist…’) #2 /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php(2031): wp_new_user_notification(18) #3 /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-screens.php(364): bp_core_activate_signup(‘JA0BvkK1Q0DND10…’) #4 [internal function]: bp_core_screen_activation(”) #5 /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-includes/plugin.php(524): cal in /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 946

If I wait a while, then I get the normal webpage and it says “invalid activation key”. I don’t understand the significance of an immediate click on the link in the email vs. waiting a few more seconds, but it definitely matters.

Finally i have done this:

function send_mail_to_teacher($user_id, $user_login, $user_password, $user_email, $usermeta){

  $key = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'activation_key', TRUE );
  $first_name = bp_get_profile_field_data('field=Name&user_id='.$user_id);
  $surname = bp_get_profile_field_data('field=Surname&user_id='.$user_id);

  $args = array(
    'tokens' => array(
      'key'          => $key,
      'user.email'   => $user_email,
      'user.id'      => $user_id,
      'first_name'   => $first_name,
      'surname'      => $surname,
    ),
  );  

  $teacher_email = bp_get_profile_field_data('field=Teacher&user_id='.$user_id);

  bp_send_email( 'sendtoteacher', $teacher_email, $args );

}

add_action('bp_core_signup_user', 'send_mail_to_teacher', 10, 5);

Yes, but this code doesn’t work

function activation_email( $user_id, $user_email, $key, $user_login = '' ) {

  $args = array(
    'tokens' => array(
      'key'          => $key,
      'user.email'   => $user_email,
      'user.id'      => $user_id,
    ),
  );

  if ( $user_id ) {
    $to = $user_id;
  } else {
    $to = array( array( $user_email => $user_login ) );
  }

    $teacher = bp_get_profile_field_data('field=Teacher&user_id='.$user_id);

    bp_send_email( 'core-user-registration', $teacher , $args );

}
add_action('bp_core_signup_send_validation_email','activation_email',99,4);

Finally i have done this:

function activation_email( $subject, $message, $user_id, $user_email, $key ) {
    $teacher = bp_get_profile_field_data('field=Teacher&user_id='.$user_id);
    $activate_url = esc_url( $activate_url );
    $message = sprintf( __( "Thanks for registering! To complete the activation of this account please click the following link:\n\n%1\$s\n\n", 'buddypress' ), $activate_url );
    $user_email = $teacher;

    wp_mail( $user_email, $subject, $message );
}
add_action( 'bp_core_sent_user_validation_email', 'activation_email', 10, 5 );

Thanks for your prompt response and your help but that function did not achieve the goal I was looking for. I wanted the activation Key to come from Cymi User Extra Field. I found a solution from someone with a similar problem but it is a little too extreme for me. The result you get is a Cymi User Extra Field Key/URL, Looks like This(cimy_key=88fddcb568dcf2d6). It involved editing a core Buddypress file wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php. Can you help with a function for my functions.php or bp-custom to achieve the same goal. If it’s not too much maybe generate the Cymi-Key in the Buddypress Email Template though not a priority. I’m fully aware that editing core files is not practical, especially being that you lose it during updates.

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/activation-email-key-doesnt-work-i-may-have-the-fix/

function bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification( $user, $user_email, $key, $meta ) {

$activate_url = bp_get_activation_page() . "key=$key";
$activate_url = esc_url($activate_url);
$admin_email = get_site_option( 'admin_email' );

if ( empty( $admin_email ) )
$admin_email = 'support@' . $_SERVER;

// Then it ends with, on line 255

add_filter( 'wpmu_signup_user_notification', 'bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification', 1, 4 );

Okey, so i have disabled the plugin that stopped the automatic activation emails, installed and activated the plugin you suggested. Now what? I seriously can’t find a setting for the activation email. I know i found it easily before disabling it.

Where do i find the option to change activation email sender?

Thanks, 🙂 Will try that.

I am running the lest version of Buddypress and WordPress on a VPS server NOT running multisite. Tiny framework is the theme I am using. However the first thing I did to trouble shoot was try to replicate problem without any plugin and using 2012 theme (which tiny frame is based on) and 2016 theme. The issues remained the same with but those thems and th social me theme.

I will try to check the MYSQL question as I am familiar with that having done MYSQL database programming. However I have narrowed done the problem to something related to the extended profile fields component. Through trial and error and some research I surfaced the correlation which one other person seems to have referred as well. If extended profile fields are turned OFF the registration is completed and the activation email sent. If it is on the registration process is not completed. I tested this extensively turning on and off and it followed that pattern. I currently have the component turned off and users are able to register. When I turned on again I was unable to complete a registration.

It may be unrelated but no registration spam protection plugins will work now either I have tried several with recaptcha and without and in every case the registration process short circuits.

Thanks for any help in advance. I would like to get the extended field working again.

It doesn’t appear to be. The only emails I’m receiving are those initiated by WP or bbPress. The emails related to activation, group requests, mentions, and other BuddyPress emails are not coming through.

UPDATE:
I deleted all BP files and the plugin and did a reinstall.

PROBLEM #1)
I am still having trouble with the Register page. I do not know what this error refers to:

displays an error message:
“Profile Details
Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas09_data01/28/2853428/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-group.php on line 649”

Line 649 is:
$fields[ $key ]->visibility_level = $field_visibility;

PROBLEM #2)
Registration submission is now working, but an auto response email is being sent. Is there something in BuddyPress (or WordPress) to disable this? I’m getting an email saying:
Hi test4,
Thanks for registering!

To complete the activation of your account, go to the following link: http://blahblahblah.com/activate/ef23a0f24958c3a125917f7e3bac95f8/

I’m using s2Member to allow admin approval of registrations. This email needs to be removed. Thx.

at normal wp-admin / registration it works but only while trying to register via buddypress its not working ie no email for user registration and even activation also.
