I disabled the email activation for new members, because I couldn’t get it to work. Now my site is running smoothly but I have a problem with people creating fake account to spam forums.

I can’t seem to find how to re-activate the email activation (newbie). How may I solve this problem?

Hi guys

This has been posted before but the solutions within those posts are not working for me. For the past week all was well until yesterday. I have tried these plugins, wp better emails, smtp mailer, mail smtp but nothing works, the test emails are going through though.

Please help, starting to lose hope.

I am new to BP I have version BP 2.5.3 and WP 4.5.2. I love PB registration form that is simple and redirect new member to the email for activation. simple and efficient. I have a question regarding the registration form
How can I move the ” complete signup” button to the left (under confirme Paswword). I have members saying it is hard to see way to the right on large screens.(or making it with an orange background?)
I am not a programmer so I do not know PHP (but I know how to copy paste !!!!! 🙂
If you can also mention the path for the file and also how to may be place it in my child subtheme’s folder so it does not get erased at the next update….(new to wordpress too, even at 72 there is still some learning todo!> Thanks!

I’m having trouble with getting emails to send when BuddyPress is enabled. If I disable the plugin I get registration emails, but when it is enabled I get a message on the screen saying the message was successfully sent, but the email never goes through.

I have tried installing Postman SMTP as described in this post: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/register-activation-emails-not-being-send-smtp-configuration-not-set/#post-252037

Even with Postman STMP installed, registration messages still don’t come through. They also don’t show up in the Postman logs. However, my test messages in Postman are delivered with no trouble, and password resets, etc, show up in Postman logs and are delivered successfully.

This is running on Windows Server 2012 using XAMPP
Wordpress: 4.5.2
BuddyPress: 2.5.3
Theme: Alliance

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi guys thank you for such a great plugin.

Is it possible for this plugin to assign unique 4-10 digit codes to users upon registration? I want each and every new registered user to automatically receive a unique code within the registration activation email. This code should also appear in their profile.

Regards

Hey all,

Been digging for a solution but can’t seem to find one. My site has 2 registration forms (Form A and Form B) on separate pages that are working great. When users signup to Form B a hidden field called subscriber_type is populated. Otherwise Form A and B are identical. Once the forms are submitted a user should only be auto-activated and logged-in if this subscriber_type field is populated.

So far users filling out Form B are activated (and don’t get the activation email) and are logged in. But users filling out Form A aren’t getting their activation emails either even though they should. Looks like no users are getting any activation emails, regardless of the form they fill.

Is there any way to make sending of the activation emails conditional?

What I’ve tried so far:

// Auto-activate users from Form B (This works)
function auto_activate_user( $user_id ) {

    $subscriber_type = $_POST['subscriber_type'];
    if ($subscriber_type || $subscriber_type === 'current_subscriber'){
        global $wpdb;

        //Hook if you want to do something before the activation
        do_action('bp_disable_activation_before_activation');

        $activation_key = get_user_meta($user_id, 'activation_key', true);
        $activate = apply_filters('bp_core_activate_account', bp_core_activate_signup($activation_key));
        BP_Signup::validate($activation_key);
        $wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_status = 0 WHERE ID = %d", $user_id ) );

        //Add note on Activity Stream
        if ( function_exists( 'bp_activity_add' ) ) {
            $userlink = bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id );

            bp_activity_add( array(
                'user_id' => $user_id,
                'action' => apply_filters( 'bp_core_activity_registered_member', sprintf( __( '%s became a registered member', 'buddypress' ), $userlink ), $user_id ),
                'component' => 'profile',
                'type' => 'new_member'
            ) );

        }
        //Send email to admin
        wp_new_user_notification( $user_id );
        // Remove the activation key meta
        delete_user_meta( $user_id, 'activation_key' );
        // Delete the total member cache
        wp_cache_delete( 'bp_total_member_count', 'bp' );

        //Hook if you want to do something before the login
        do_action('bp_disable_activation_before_login');

        //Automatically log the user in	.
        $user_info = get_userdata($user_id);
        wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id);

        do_action('wp_signon', $user_info->user_login);

        //Hook if you want to do something after the login
        do_action('bp_disable_activation_after_login');

    }
}

// Fix validation on Form B (This works)
function fix_signup_form_validation_text() {
    $subscriber_type = $_POST['subscriber_type'];
    if ($subscriber_type || $subscriber_type === 'current_subscriber'){
        return false;
    }
}

// Disable autivation email only for Form B (This doesn't work)
function disable_activation_email() {
    $subscriber_type = $_POST['subscriber_type'];
    if ($subscriber_type || $subscriber_type === 'current_subscriber'){
        return false;
    }
}

add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'auto_activate_user');
add_filter( 'bp_registration_needs_activation', 'fix_signup_form_validation_text');
add_filter( 'bp_core_signup_send_activation_key', 'disable_activation_email');

Hi,

when a new user registres they get an activation mail so they can activate the account.

What I want is, that new users only get an mail when they have been approved (activated) by admin.

So the flow I want is, – user registres – admin get a notice about new user registration – admin approves – new user gets an email saying that he/she has been approved.

How do I do this????

Wordpress Version: 4.5
BuddyPress Version 2.52
X Theme

I’m unsure what I am doing wrong. I am using the X Theme and also using Magic Members plugin. I was finally able to set up the Login and Registration Pages. I signed out and did a test on Registering for a Free account (I am setting up a membership site).

I am able to Register okay but when I click Register it takes me to an Error Page. The same thing happens when I Login (I tried for the hell of it), I get an Error page. BUT, when I check my emails, I get a link to activate my account.

So, it is registering the information but I’m unsure why I am not getting an Activation page and when I confirm the account, I get another Error page.

I’m not sure if it’s my Theme, Magic members, BuddyPress (which I do not think it is), etc. If someone can at least direct me to what I may be doing wrong, I’d truly appreciate it! Thank you so much!
