Thanks much I found out what it was. I put a plugin that was not compatible or tested with current versions.

My Bad I should have known better

I will check into the other things as well.

I already have mail-from I will get the others as well can only help in the future.

Thanks Again.

Another detail I realised, on wp-signups table, I found my 2 tests, with activation key and all. I got the info from the site holder, that ppl arent able to register since september, 2011.

On the wp-signup, I see 767 entries for new user, none of them activated, all of them have suspicious email accounts and the dates started mid september.

I was trying to use configure-smtp but it was generating error codes, so it was not working either way.

I hadn’t found that post, but it would probably would have done the trick.

As noted below, I now have it working with configure-smtp, but, is there a reason you like WP Mail SMTP over configure-smpt?

Many thanks,

Rory

Solved.

I needed to use the Configure SMTP plugin, but leave the default SMPT host at “local host”.

I needed to spend more time searching the error codes I was getting. That google search lead me to a post at http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/installing-mu-plugins

Solved now – The hosting company told me to swap outgoing mail server from “host111.hostmonster.com” to “localhost’ and now seems to be working.
Thanks tremendously for all your help @Ulrich and others….

It’s not easy being green.

Sort of, maybe. It tells me somewhere out there at bluehost php sendmail is waiting for instructions.

I already did my very best to uninstall WP (using simplescripts), delete the WP DB and DB users, and delete any other traces I could find using ftp. When I re-installed, I could register a new user to the WP installation and generate a successful activation email (which looked just like the ones they are talking about in your forum link). Then I installed BP, went through the same registration process, same address, same result in the WP BP users lists, but no email is sent.

Something is not landing in the right place or getting updated correctly when BP is installed. Still flummoxed.

Thank you though.

Aces,

I tried the Mail From plugin. That did not work.

I did finally have success (thanks to your post links and some tests).

Here is what worked:

1. Created a brand new email address at my host called noreply@mydomainname.com.
2. Installed the WP Mail SMTP plugin.
3. Entered the new noreply email account info into WP Mail SMTP and used it as the SMTP for the site outgoing mail.

Then I tested it. I entered a new test member. I received the Confirmation / Activation Email. I clicked and was activated.

It’s not perfect, but it works.

Thank you for your persistent help.

Rockter,

Good idea. I did look in junk folders. Still no email.

I am convinced it is not being sent out of BP/WP registration.

Other ideas?

Thanks.

Aces,

Good idea. Cool pluggin. I was looking for a SMTP pluggin, but some how missed this one.

I was able to install WP-Mail-SMTP.

I sent a “test” message from inside WP-Mail-SMTP and it went through.

However, when I tried to sign up / register a test member, NO Confirmation / Activation email was sent

I removed and re-installed BP, but still same problem.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Thanks Paul, yes I created it myself.

I followed the convert your theme instructions and everything else appears to be working, expect my newly registered users arent getting the activation email.

@mercime,

Thank you so much for your response. I read some of your insightful comments and thought about writing you a PM earlier today. I did not in order to respect your time.

I’m using WP 3.1.1,Genesis 1.8 and Genesis Connect 1.1 with an AgentPress v 1.0 Child Theme. It turns out I thought it through and followed your advice on my own, though I didn’t do all the manual code deletions.
Upon re-install, I still didn’t get the wizard to display or launch. Accordingly, I followed the outline provided by the link and completed the process manually.

At this point, members are loading, activity stream is posting, and I have posted 10 forums in the group forum page.

Missing are any data or forms on the register page. Activate ask for an activation key that I assume comes from an email. I don’t know how to create the log in for the register page????

Should I update to AgentPress 2.0 as a possible solution.

Thanks for any further help you may be kind enough to offer.

Mike

When clicking the link in their email, they are directed to

http://www.pokemonsocial.com/activate

That page asks for an activation key even though their account is already activated. It doesn’t mess up them making a profile or anything, it just confuses the person creating the account.

Okay I have an idea, but I need something to let me know if its possible.

Is it possible to NOT send users an activation email from Buddypress, and instead send them to a “Step 2” type of page when they submit? I’m thinking the user fills out “Step 1” which is the full profile. When they are finished, they click to go to “Step 2” which has the Aweber email submission. When they “finish,” they only receive the Awebber verification email.

Possible?
