BuddyPress.org

Please share what the activation link the email looks like. If you don’t want to post it publically, send it to me at paul@buddypress.org. We’ve occasionally had reports of this issue but have not yet been able to figure out how to recreate it, so a copy of the email as received by the user would be helpful.

Sending any password in an email is a terrible idea. It’s not secure.

Geetar, can you share a copy of the email that a new user receives? Can you paste it onto pastebin.com, please?

p.s. most of Welcome Pack won’t work if you disable activation emails.

You could install the welcome pack plugin and customize the email to just a thanks for signing up note.

Or:

`function disable_activation_email() {
return false;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_core_signup_send_activation_key’, ‘disable_activation_email’ );`

For your info, If the emails you used to test with was AOL it probably won’t work. Maybe someone else may know why. AOL used to work with BP registration emails but there was some change they made that filters out BP registration emails from being received even in the spam folder. Even facebook doesn’t like AOL email addresses anymore. Try yahoo, and gmail instead.

Activation e-mails are not sending to my users either. This is very frustrating. Other topics are not helping either.

Hi,
try this in bp-custom.php
remove_filter( 'wpmu_signup_blog_notification', 'bp_core_activation_signup_blog_notification', 1, 7 );

source infos buddypress /bp-core/bp-core-filters.php

The concerned filter do this
/***
* bp_core_filter_blog_welcome_email()
*
* Replace the generated password in the welcome email.
* This will not filter when the site admin registers a user.
*
* @uses locate_template To see if custom registration files exist
* @param string $welcome_email Complete email passed through WordPress
* @param integer $blog_id ID of the blog user is joining
* @param integer $user_id ID of the user joining
* @param string $password Password of user
* @return string Filtered $welcome_email with $password replaced by [User Set]
*/

If you’re only going to change that string, see http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/archives/2010/01/02/mangling-strings-for-fun-and-profit/

For translations – you need to work with language files (I assume welcome pack supports these @djpaul).

You can also try the ‘codestlying localization’ plugin.

Hola,

no debes modificar los archivos del ‘BuddyPress Core’. Cuando modernizas tu version, perderás tus modificaciones .

Claro, con ‘Welcome Pack’, creo que tu modificas los emails por el plugin.

Activation emails are not sending from my site either. What is the best way to fix this problem? I have been reading many posts about this problem but none of the advice has worked for me.

Changing your outgoing email address might fix

@rogercoathup

Great to read about your success with BuddyPress and Enterprise Nation.

Customizing registration appears to be a must when creating a high load community. There is a lot of heavy lifting that needs to be done during signup which requires a custom process.

Interesting that you do not use and activation email.

The site appears to be locked down from a BuddyPress standpoint. No Activity Stream?

@neononcon you might want to check out WangGuard (free in WordPress plugins) for help in limiting spam registration.

It’s a requirement of law that email gets run thru filters and may get sent to spam. Might be the email header ain’t right.
