BuddyPress.org

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.

Inge.

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.
