BuddyPress.org

I am using it on that setup, and it works fine.

BuddyPress requires that users activate their accounts after registering. The activation link is sent via email to the registrant. It is likely that either your php mail configuration is messed up or that the email in question went into the user’s spam folder.

In any case, you can use this plugin to manage activations: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/

Exact same problem as @GordonRe, users successfully activate by following the emailed activation link, however this prompts them to enter a key even though their activation was successful.

From the activation template, the problem seems to be with:

“

This conditional must not be returning TRUE, otherwise the form would display the activation successful message. Not sure how best to approach this, but the autologin on successful activation plugin sounds like a potential alternative…

Not exactly, but check this out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/

== ACTIVATE page and it now shows up in the PULL DOWN but does nothing? ==

This is the page where members land with auto-generated content for that specific member after they click on activation email code which is sent to theme after they register.

So on it’s own, just going to yoursite.com/activate/ you’re not expected to see anything at all on that page.

See http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/66204/showing-the-users-username-in-registration-email-or-activation-page-with-buddyp

Also, search through the forum for the activation email problem. It’s common and often times is related to your hosting provider or MX settings.

@chiangmai – It could be because it’s not compatible with BP, I’m not familiar with that plugin but not all WP plugins are compatible with the BP registration process.

I’ve had success with Wanguard and asking a specific question. I’ve only had one spammer come through in the last month. I tried other CAPTCHA plugins before, and the CAPTCHA wouldn’t show in IE.

I haven’t tried, was afraid to break something else. Now the request for an activation code is back right after I login following the link sent to the email. What’s causing this?

You are better off letting email go to user but remove the activation link. Create a function that hooks into member sign up to email you separately. I’m suggesting this because its better conversion for users to get the email.

`function email_admin_user_signup() {
//email admin code here
}
add_action(‘bp_core_signup_user’, ’email_admin_user_signup’);`

@chiangmai let’s go back to the root of the problem and deactivate BP Disable Activation. Resolve email send/receive issue https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/

@nealw Curious, does the same email activation issue come up if you change to BP Default theme and activate bbPress plugin?

Hello there. Does anyone have the solution to this problem? I am experiencing the dame thing and do not know how to resolve it. The email that people receive is the same thing that Geeter posted into the pastebin.com
Please help. This is holding us up at http://www.commutertisements.com

I have the same problem which I will describe as follows

1. User registers by completing the form [they are at sitename.com/register]
2. They get a page saying – you have registered and please check your email to activiate
3. Clicking on the link takes them to the page sitename.com/activate which says “Activate your Account.
Please provide a valid activation key. With the field ‘Activation key” and the button ‘Activate’.
Copying the activation key from the email does NOT get rid of this page.
5. However
a. checking from and admin account shows that the user has been successfully registered (not surprising)
b. the user can navigate the sit without restriction – which they could not do before clicking on the activation email. So presumably the account has been activated – but they user is told that they still need to enter the activation key. They can log in and can navigate the site. Only the wouldn’t know that.

How to fix this? None of the advice above seems much use. Last thing I want to do is instal an unnecessary plug in when presumably this is supposed to work.

I am update to date with software as follows
WP 3.4.2
BP 1.6.1

Problem observed in Chrome and Firefox.

Thanks

In my case i’ve found that mails were sent but classified as spam.
Unfortunatelly some mail servers are blacklisted by some ISP for spamming reasons.
I’m looking for solve this problem because people that want to register in my site are unable to receive properly the activation code sent by email.
For now i change the output message shown in the registration process, alerting people to check into the spam folder, but hope to solve it in a better way
