BuddyPress.org

I think I just figured out the problem. I had my one browser open and logged in, tested sign up in another browser, when I clicked activation email it opened in another tab in my default browser that I was already logged in to 🙁 DOH! I deleted everything and ran again and no errors.

@mercime thanks for that.

But when I change the subject of the Activation Email it does not change anything. The subject is the same as before.

Also there is no option to send a welcome email. Only a welcome private message, which isn’t what I was looking for because I wanted to provide them with their username and password in the email (and obviously they’d need that to login and see the private message).

Is there any other ways to get this done?

you’re probably right.

Though I’d be curious to hear from any of the buddypress experts (or maybe just wordpress experts in general – I am not a big php or wordpress guy) how it is that the function for the activation emails is pulling in the $key where it does not appear to be defined or set up anywhere in the bp-core-filters.php file*, it just appears and is handled as such. I assumed if the filter were set up to attach to that function, it would pull in whatever that function pulls in it’s original context.

hmm, good point. though it seems to me that the query there is assuming a key has already been generated and is associated with a user in the db. The email goes to brand new users that haven’t activated yet, so not sure where to step into the actual $key generation process. I’ll dig around further.

thanks!

Could it be from one of the plugins or functions I have? I had a function which I used so it can change to use my email instead of wordpress@mysite.com so I deleted that function but I was still getting the same problem. I also has a login attempt plugin thinking that might be it so I deactivated it but still didn’t fix the problem.

I can list all the plugins I have if you’d like? in the meantime I’ll re-activate bbpress and go down the list and deactivate plugins and try registering with a test user account.

My “current” test users work with bbpress active but I created a test user before I actived sitewide forums. I tried creating a new test account and I’m not able to activate account. The user shows up on the user list but they’re not able to do anything until they can activate account. With the test user account I try setting up, it says please go and active your account by going to your email and clicking on your activation link or something like that. It asks to enter an activation key. I tried clickin active to see if it would work but nothin, I also tried copy and pasting the key #’s I get in the link and nothing worked.

Once I deactivated bbpress I was able to click on the activation link and my test account would activate.

Sorry, was going to try editing post. Anyway I did a quick search on google and see someone post that bbpress is the problem the activation isn’t working so I decided to give it a try and deactive bbpress. Sure enough the activation is working fine now once I click on the activation link I get in the email.

Has anyone come up with a solution on how to fix this problem? I would like to have forums on my site also.

@charlietech – thank you but that still does not work for me. Help. Too bad to see you are having this problem for such a long time.

Tried it. Not working.

Thanks, modemlooper. I think that would have worked if I tried to figure it out. User ‘aces’ posted a reply in another thread with the link below though. It was exactly what I needed
