BuddyPress.org

I am also having this issue and I think I have narrowed it down to certain email providers and how they deal with links. Yahoo for instance opens the activation code page while at the same time the account is activated so you do not need to enter any code while gmail and hotmail link straight to a page that says the account is activated. This is indeed a problem.

@binutz re time active -> use UTC +/- in Settings rather than city name and change to BP Default theme. Are you using a cache plugin by any chance? If so, which one?

re members count -> What do you mean that it’s wrong? Is this an installation which had registered members prior to installing BuddyPress? Then members have to log in at least once to be “counted”

re users’ avatars missing -> You mean the only the mystery man is showing up or that even the mystery man is not showing up? Are you developing locally or online? Change to BP Default theme, are the avatars showing up?

re email activation issue -> Are you sure that your installation is sending those activation emails in the first place? Or, have your users checked in their email spam folders? Where are you hosted?

And you have tested a plain WP view of your site? i.e have you first tested that all aspects of primary functions work under your initial install of WP before moving on to activating BP and then testing it’s registration process – this is important to help you establish that your site works and if issues arise at what stage they did e.g. on activation of BP or of Welcome pack ( fyi Welcome Pack might not be quite current with latest BP)

You now need to narrow down the issue!

fwiw this sort of issue is nearly always one of a server configuration and/or of your MX records rather than an issue with either WP or BP both process and foreward emails quite happily without fail.

I know this is old but I had the same problem and figured out how to fix it so thought I would post it.
Instead of trying to feed the key in, I just trimmed the message to remove the original wording and then replaced it with my own wording.

`
function fix_bp_activation_message($message) {
$msgTrim = “Thanks for registering! To complete the activation of your account please click the following link:”;
$trimmed = trim($message,$msgTrim);

return __( “Thanks for signing up to Clandestine Cake Club! In order to take part in the fun, you’ll need to activate your account by clicking the link below. \n Once you’ve done that, we’ll need to approve the account, usually within 24 hours.”.$trimmed.”Best wishes,\n Lynn Hill – CCC Founder”, ‘buddypress’ );
}

add_filter(‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message’, ‘fix_bp_activation_message’);
`

@sdglhm have you asked user who is not receiving the activation emails to check in spam folder?

for point b see: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4622#comment:8 and http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/66204/showing-the-users-username-in-registration-email-or-activation-page-with-buddyp

@byfchew See section on BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails (eg. activation emails, email notifications) at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/faq/

Ok, you can disable sending activation email to new registrant in WP multisite + BP installation by adding code below into your theme/child theme functions.php

`
// Change the text on the signup page
add_filter( ‘bp_registration_needs_activation’, ‘__return_false’ );

function my_disable_activation( $user, $user_email, $key, $meta = ” ) {
// Activate the user
bp_core_activate_signup( $key );

// Return false so no email sent
return false;
}
add_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification’, ‘my_disable_activation’, 10, 4 );

//Disable new blog notification email for multisite
remove_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_blog_notification’, ‘bp_core_activation_signup_blog_notification’, 1, 7 );
add_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_blog_notification’, ‘__return_false’ );

// disable sending activation emails for multisite
remove_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification’, ‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification’, 1, 4 );
add_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification’, ‘__return_false’, 1, 4 );
`

Cheers! 😀

The last function has a bug, it activate the user after registration, but it’s still sending the activation key email using WP multisite, so it can be very confusing for the users, because they’re already active.

Any ideas to stop sending the activation key email?

Thanks

Hi!

If somebody still need to disable activation email, the following function works fine for me:

`
// Change the text on the signup page
add_filter( ‘bp_registration_needs_activation’, ‘__return_false’ );

function my_disable_activation( $user, $user_email, $key, $meta = ” ) {
// Activate the user
bp_core_activate_signup( $key );

// Return false so no email sent
return false;
}
add_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification’, ‘my_disable_activation’, 10, 4 );
remove_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_blog_notification’, ‘bp_core_activation_signup_blog_notification’, 1, 7 );
add_filter( ‘wpmu_signup_blog_notification’, ‘__return_false’ );
`

Thanks to @cnorris23 for it! https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3443

Hope it helps to someone 🙂

This drove me a bit nuts. I figured out how to do it though and it’s very easy.

With buddypress installed it takes over the registration entirely and ads this activation email which is outside the normal header load so it;s outside of the functions.php call include.

The way I got it to work was by adding a call to the welcome email action after the do_action( ‘bp_after_activation_page’ ); in plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/activation.php file.

Near the end of the file you see this.
do_action( ‘bp_after_activation_page’ );

Add the following
do_action( ‘welcome_email’ );

Now this may work because I am using a plugin to modify the welcome email to begin with. I am using SB Welcome Email Editor

As for why someone would need to send the user their id and password. I needed this because people can sign up using a name with spaces but the id is created with a dash in place of spaces so they may never know their id isn’t what they saved it as. I also added a condition on the id entry to force them to not use spaces but I like to cover all bases and let them know what they signed up with.

Hope this helps.

For some really odd reason this is not working for me.
