My complete signup button , is not leading me to the payment page but send immediately the activation mail, i have the message:

Sign Up Complete!

You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.

i recieve an email to activate the account
how can i make the form going first to the payment gateway ( i have also the plugin membership) before the activation?

When a user registers an account on your site, they’ll be sent an email with the key/link.

I tried to add in a functions.php by added above code to my existing functions.php in my theme folder, and it gives an error. This doesn’t work.

The page URL is a Page_name by itself, when creating a new page, the URL end with a .html I am using a special plugin call “Page Link To” to link the page to the correct Page name. That is from http://learningdigitalphotography.net/registration.html to http://learningdigitalphotography.net/registration/ this is so because my permalink is not working to what i intented the page URL to be. Will this cause an issue?

ANother things which i have question is the the registeration page seems missing some field.
http://learningdigitalphotography.net/registration/
There is a profile Detail but no field to enter those info. Is there some info which needs User to Key in?

Very strange that why My registration page is Not accepting user registration. You can do a try to register.. http://learningdigitalphotography.net/registration/

The activate page is this http://learningdigitalphotography.net/activate-2/

Beside functions.php, is there any other files is causing the issue?

So for functions.php , what i need is to create a file and with the code below:
//Fix Email issue
function fix_bp_core_email_from_address_filter() {
return apply_filters( ‘bp_core_email_from_address_filter’, ‘noreply@yoururl.com’);
}
add_filter( ‘wp_mail_from’, ‘fix_bp_core_email_from_address_filter’ );

See reply on https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-activation-email/

@allentan What debug info does a wp-mail-smtp test email give you.

Does that email actually leave your host’s servers?

The functions.php file would be found in the ( child ) theme directory. If it doesn’t exist you can create one.

Were you logged out when you filled in the registration form?

I wonder if this even is an email problem as I can’t reach normal buddypress pages such as http://learningdigitalphotography.net/activate/ I get `(HTTP 404 Not Found)`….

@ORyanMcentire you mentioned you add a code into functions.php. Where can i find this file? Which part should i insert this code.
//Fix Email issue
function fix_bp_core_email_from_address_filter() {
return apply_filters( ‘bp_core_email_from_address_filter’, ‘noreply@yoururl.com’);
}
add_filter( ‘wp_mail_from’, ‘fix_bp_core_email_from_address_filter’ );

Hi…

I have tried all ways mentioned above.. added the Mail-From and wp-mail-smtp plugin and it still doesn’t work at all. It just bring me back to the home page without any successful registration complete message…

What can be wrong?

I have looking for answers on this myself. We have a log in on our site that says it will email the activation code, but we never got the activation code. Do you know how to set this up, or know of where I can go to get this answer? thanks.

Every time I hear of this I have to say before anything else disable all plugins except for BP then try a test registration/activation. Even If it sends it to a spam folder in your email then you have used a process of elimination to find the culprit. Most of the time if you are getting your test activations in a spam folder on your email then setting up an email on your host from your domain cures the issue. Something like “admin_yourusername@yourdomain.com” in your cpanel webmail or whatever you have usually fixes this. You may also need to change the email in your dashboard/settings/general E-mail Address to reflect the email you created on your host depending on the host and how they handle mail. Hopefully this will help you. “My advise to anyone is after installing any plugin after BP is to do a test registration/activation each time.” That way you don’t have to sort through 20 plugins to find the one that breaks activation. Oh yeah, and if it activates go ahead and log-in with the username and password you created or the test registration/activation member you created will not show up in the members directory.

Editing core is a very bad idea. If that can’t be unhooked or filtered around, submit a ticket to core — patches would be welcome.

I think I solved it for the most part. Take a look at my solutions and see if it might help you: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/activation-email-key-doesnt-work-i-may-have-the-fix/

My problem was I was running a plugin that was generating a key as well as buddypress and WordPress wanted the key generated by the first plugin, not the key from the activation email sent out by buddypress.

You can read about it here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/activation-email-key-doesnt-work-i-may-have-the-fix/

it’s lengthy, I know, but I hope it puts you in the right direction if it doesn’t work.

I want to bump this because I think I’m very close to finally solving this for many of us, but it’s going to need someone who is better at reading PHP or understanding the BP Codex.

My activation links work if I register from BuddyPress, but not if I register from WordPress. Is everyone else doing the same?

Here is a link to the new thread in hopes to solve our problem.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/registering-and-email-activation-links-not-working/

@mercine, i have buddypress default theme and have de-activated all plugins except Suffusion BuddyPress Pack. i have the same problem as the guys above. (same wp and bp versions as above.) if i have understood correctly, in the email i received, the string

http://www.mywebsitename.org/activate/?key=9f664b72a0b703fe63a4f61fc2066175

contains the activation key at:

9f664b72a0b703fe63a4f61fc2066175

but when i paste this in the Activation Code box, i stay on the same page and nothing happens.

thanks, regards
SP

Mark, I just downgraded to 1.5.0 and my activation links are still not copying the code into the activation bar.

I’m back at 1.5.4 now.

I would like this solved as well. It seems to be a problem I’m seeing pop up frequently.

Is anyone else also running these plugins:
CIMY
Membership from WPMUDev
Email Login
Ultimate Facebook from WPMUDev
Event Espresso
