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.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for responding.

To answer your questions:

* How were you customising your activation emails?
-I was changing lines in the .pot file in PoEdit and generated a new .mo file in order to personalise the activation mail a bit more. (No core files were adjusted or changed)
-I made a change in the buddypress.min.css file

* Is your site sending other emails correctly, or are all emails broken? Can you test to be sure?
I have only sent out activation emails up to this point. To test your question, I have manually added myself as a user and activated the account. Then, I send a confirmation email which it DID send, only the sender was WordPress instead of my site name.

* Are you running WordPress multisite, or regular WordPress?
Regular WP. No multisite

* Do you run any plugins that change wp_mail or affect how emails are delivered? For example, any plugins that send email via Mailchimp, etc?
Not to my knowledge. I am currently running these plugins:

– BuddyPress
– Child Theme Configurator
– Jquery Updater
– Members
– Page Excerpt Widget
– Rating Widget
– User Submitted Posts

All of them were running as well yesterday when it still worked.

Let me know if you need any more info.

I’m using the 7.2 theme. I’ve tested it on Twenty Fifteen and it displays again in basic format. When logged in as a new member there is a join now button at least, but the styling is still very plain compared to the documentation screenshot – no avatars or colour – as per my previous screenshot of my site.

The page is also called titled ‘Groups’ rather than ‘Groups directory’ – but i’m sure i could always change the name in WP settings.

I’ve also got a problem with Activation emails but i’ll need to create a new thread for that.

So, as far as I understand, you need to create two blank pages, one for register and one for activate, and after associating them, buddy press recreates the content. That’s done, users can register. now the problem is, they are not receiving activate emails, or emails at all after the registration, so i don’t know how to fix the activation issue I’m having.

To add more to this… i am writing the method as shown below

add_filter( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message’, ‘RECN_CUSTOM_activation_message’, 10, 3 );

function RECN_CUSTOM_activation_message( $message, $user_id, $activate_url ) {

$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
….
….

and the $user_id passed is the signup id ….while the WP_USER table does not have data for the signup id…

No @henrywright. At this point, the user has just clicked on the activation link in email.

@shanebp suggested this function. It’s working but I can’t get it to return an id that I can store in a GLOBAL variable so that I can use it somewhere else on activation page with this hook:

bp_after_activate_content

Here’s the function that @shanebp suggested.

function william_bp_core_activated_user(  $user_id, $key, $user ) {
     // do something with $user_id
     // there is no return for add_action, only add_filter
};
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'william_bp_core_activated_user', 10, 3 );

I organized testing of this function.

1. System sends emails
2. New users got this emails in their mail box
3. Then they press activation links and go on home page, not activation page.
4. Then they try to enter login/pass and system tells them – Ops, error! your account didn’t activate, please see you inbox.
5. I can see they have “registered” status, but not “activated” and i need to activate them by hands.

Therefore there is something wrong while users try to confirm their address in activation email.

Thanks @modemlooper. This is doable but will the account remain deactivated as usual? The user might justchoose to ignore the second email with activation link since they can already login. What do you say? I’d like to sort of force a user to fill the second form and I don’t want them logging in if they haven’t filled the second form.
