BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I’m having horrendous issues too from the last Buddypress update. Every single time someone creates an account with my website they receive a ‘fatal error’ message. When I manually activate a new account, I also receive a ‘fatal error’ message and an email advising that there’s a technical issue with my website. The email confirms that there’s an error with the Buddypress plugin.

For years now, when someone clicks the activation link in my emails they are no longer taken to their user dashboard (which is what used to happen), now they are taken to a screen with a pre-populated box containing an activation link. This confuses them and I end up getting an email asking why they can’t access their account.

As a user for the last 3 years I’d really appreciate some valuable feedback (and action!) on the above major issues.

Thanks,
Anita

Unforunately I’m not familiar with woocommerce or the functionality it adds. BuddyPress does have the functionality you describe but it is not related to that field.
You can test this by disabling woocommerce and creating a new account but not clicking the link in the activation email, it should then show as pending.
Have you opened a request over on woocommerce support?

Hi, manage signup takes you to the users who are pending on your site, so those who have filled in their details but have not followed the activation link they are emailed (assuming you haven’t turned this off). On my sites they don’t appear on the Dashboard Users page under all, there is a seperate pending option that should show you the same view as the manage signup link.

I think Vaparuns suggested fix is related to the actual members page that is visable to all users on your site.

Could you expand on your exact issue maybe with a screenshot? It is also useful if you could try some of the basic tests in https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/ and supply some of the additional details regarding plugins/themes.

Unfortunately nobody could help me with the problem. So I implemented a direct solution in the database.

I redirected people to another page and adjusted the link in the activation email accordingly.

Example link in the email https://www.abc.de/activation/?{{user.email}}

So when this link is called, the script asks which e-mail address is passed.

The script then searches for the e-mail address in the table “wp_users” and changes the status in the column user_status from 2 to 0.

The user is then immediately activated by clicking on the link. The script can be integrated into any page.

<?php

$queryString = strstr($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], ‘?’);
$queryString = ($queryString===false) ? ” : substr($queryString, 1);

$pdo = new PDO(‘mysql:host=localhost;dbname=example_db_1’, ‘example_usr_1’, ‘example password’);

$statement = $pdo->prepare(“UPDATE wp_users SET user_status = 0 WHERE user_email = ‘$queryString’”);
$statement->execute(array(‘user_status’ => 0));

?>

Hi, do you have for me the url of that
video please? Every time when I click on
the link ‘How to set up an email account’ I get
the screen that I must make a new password
to login.

I don’t see yet what ‘set up an email account’
has to do that the activation mails won’t get
send but maybe when I see your video I
understand 😉

Thank you very much in advance!

With warm regards,

Does anyone know how to get rid of the side bar on the activation email? The page that day activate is find… it’s the one that shows the activation code and link… that page I can’t seem to get the side bar off.

Hi,

I’m using BuddyBoss (with BuddyPress).

I used this snippet:

add_filter( 'gettext', 'ps_change_activation_message', 20, 3 );

function ps_change_activation_message( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {

    switch ( $translated_text ) {
        case '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.' :
            $translated_text = __( 'Your membership account is awaiting approval by the site administrator.', 'buddypress' );
            break;
    }

    return $translated_text;
}

But this did not work for changing the message.

Please can you advise?

Thanks
