BuddyPress.org

I have a similar issue. I know activation emails are being sent. However, some of these emails get sent ot junk and the member doesn’t know to check. When I go to the “Users” section in the admin I see nothing that indicates non-replies as spam and certain no way to “activate” a member.

Is there a way to resend activation?

I have a problem where some are not being received – likely gone into junk folder – and the member needs a new activation setn. Is there a way for me to either re-send the activation email? or simply activate their membership from within the admin?

you also have a header issue when clicking on the activation link from the email… idk if you were aware of that or not?

Bluehost problem https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/faqs/specific-faqs/

Are they not getting *sent* or are they not getting *recieved*? Becasue those are two separate issues.

Are you the admin getting email notifies? If yes, then you know the mails are getting sent.

If some users are not receiving emails, do they have hotmail or comcast addresses?

I use Bluehost as well, and had similar problems… I tried just about everything, and the only thing I could do was use an SMTP plugin… This is the one I use: http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/configure-smtp/

Here are a couple things I learned, so you don’t have to bang your head as much as I did…

– use ‘localhost’ as the SMTP hostname in the config file
– Make SURE you are using an email address that is being hosted on Bluehost for the username/password

Good luck!

Oh so emails are being sent then!

As mentioned work in just WP ensure that option to allow user registration is set and test again and send to an account that you has no issues i.e accounts like hotmail can be problematical as they implement iirc SPF records and will likely reject emails coming from a domain they can’t verify so ensure the sending address is real. There are quite a few threads on the support forum on this subject that cover most of what I can suggest and more, so they are worth tracking down although I admit searching can be awkward.

Nearly always a server config issue or a email account one i.e no dns records for account, or a control panel such as plesk playing it’s tricks with email settings enabled but directing to a record that isn’t setup.

First thing is to disable BP and just get WP working and sending correctly. use an email account that has definite and legitimate credentials so that email servers don’t reject it due to no lookup records.

You might want to pas this by your server hosts for help with.

I don’t think it will work with a gmail account (at least without a major hack). It probably has to be somenameofanysort@yourdomain.com Then, you have to make sure that email is setup on your hosting.

Also check to make sure that whatever email you are using in your Mail From plugin actually exists. Otherwise, there are often issues there.

This is happening most likely because the text in the subject, and or message it triggering the email to mark as spam.

Download the plugin “welcome message”

You can easily edit the message for email.

Hmm…I haven’t really tested the blog creation with the BP Disable Activation. I know there was one known issue of the auto login not working. I never had time to look into what caused it not to work. Sounds like there’s a problem with the activation email still being sent too and it shouldn’t be sent. I’m not sure when I’ll have a moment to look at this, but if someone else figures out the issue let me know and I’ll update the plugin.

Hi @rickgoz,

I have bought from my freelance a plugin that remove login choice on signup. It generate an username “user43fr53hzet56….” for each new member.
After activation, in user account, each user can change this username only ONE TIME on what he want, to have better user slug. User page can be catch with http://example.com/auto_username, AND http://example.com/custom_username by auto insert on .htaccess
If user missed something and want change again his username, you have just to delete the user line in the plugin table.

I think this plugin with “email login” plugin should make you happy.

As I am not php coder, I can’t assume any support for this. But if someone want update this plugin…

I’m +1 on the need for a solution too. I seem to always get the email without it going to spam. I also notice some repeat spam / sploggers in the email addresses. I have used WP-Activate-Users but I’d like an option to resend the activation or delete them.
