Thanks for all the tips/suggestions!

I followed the advice @r-a-y gave and switched my theme to Twenty Twelve, and discovered it was a bug with my theme after all. The theme had its own login form that didn’t seem to check for user verification. Fixed by getting rid of that and using the traditional WP login form!

And the other thread I mentioned is: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/users-can-login-without-activationemail-verification/

Thanks again!

What @arielmeadow is suggesting is exactly what I’m looking for. People insert the wrong email address and then email us on why didn’t they receive an activation key. One time or another it’s fine, but we get a lot of registrations and it’s just a really useful feature.

Sorry, not all is well.

I edit in my custom “register.php” , but I can’t see anything. This is the code of my register custom page:

<?php 
global $bp;
if(empty($bp->signup->step))
$bp->signup->step=’request-details’;
?>

		<form action="” name=”signup_form” id=”signup_form” class=”standard-form” method=”post” enctype=”multipart/form-data”>

		<?php if ( 'registration-disabled' == bp_get_current_signup_step() ) : ?>
			<?php do_action( 'template_notices' ); ?>
			<?php do_action( 'bp_before_registration_disabled' ); ?>

				<p><?php _e( 'User registration is currently not allowed.', 'buddypress' ); ?></p>

			<?php do_action( 'bp_after_registration_disabled' ); ?>

Sorry, that is not what you would expect of a user.

What I did was log out, shut down my browser session, ran CCleaner to clear cache etc then went about registering for my website like a new user would.

Filled in the registration page, got a message to check my email, so went to my email and clicked the link, this opened another tab which read “Invalid Activation Key”.

1) You would not expect your new users to close their session before going to their email for the activation key.

2) On the page that says “Invalid Activation Key” there is a box that says “Please provide valid activation key”. Nowhere on the email that is created does it say “this is your activation key” you need to be a little tech literate and cut it out of the URL that is posted on there as the link.

I can’t expect new members to be doing either of these.

How can I change this ?
