== ACTIVATE page and it now shows up in the PULL DOWN but does nothing? ==
This is the page where members land with auto-generated content for that specific member after they click on activation email code which is sent to theme after they register.
So on it’s own, just going to yoursite.com/activate/ you’re not expected to see anything at all on that page.
I had switched my Hotmail.com email accounts to Outlook, switching back to Hotmail.com has resolved the problem.
Also, search through the forum for the activation email problem. It’s common and often times is related to your hosting provider or MX settings.
@chiangmai – It could be because it’s not compatible with BP, I’m not familiar with that plugin but not all WP plugins are compatible with the BP registration process.
I’ve had success with Wanguard and asking a specific question. I’ve only had one spammer come through in the last month. I tried other CAPTCHA plugins before, and the CAPTCHA wouldn’t show in IE.
I haven’t tried, was afraid to break something else. Now the request for an activation code is back right after I login following the link sent to the email. What’s causing this?
You are better off letting email go to user but remove the activation link. Create a function that hooks into member sign up to email you separately. I’m suggesting this because its better conversion for users to get the email.
`function email_admin_user_signup() {
//email admin code here
}
add_action(‘bp_core_signup_user’, ’email_admin_user_signup’);`
@djpaul: Yes, but I want to redirect the “activate your account” e-mails to the site admin instead of the user to let the admin know that a new user has registred. I’m trying to figure out the best way to do this. Obviously I don’t want to edit core files, so best practice should be to use a filter to replace the users e-mail address with the site admin e-mail address I guess?
I found an old post regarding this here (from 2010):
http://www.thoughtsofjs.com/moderate-new-user-registration-in-buddypress.html
They’re editing core files there (bad!), but I found this in the comments as a function to achieve the above:
`
function filter_replace_with_moderator_email($user_email) {
return get_site_option( “admin_email” );
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to’, ‘filter_replace_with_moderator_email’);
`
I added this to my themes custom functions.php-file but the e-mail is still sent to the user instead of the admin. Is there a change in BP 1.5 so that I need to change the hook in the filter? Does anyone know?
Has already deactivated BP Disable activation.
Tried both “mail from” and WP-Mail-SMTP, neither work now trying WP SMTP Config
Any ideas why CAPTCHA does not work on “register” page?
@chiangmai let’s go back to the root of the problem and deactivate BP Disable Activation. Resolve email send/receive issue https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/
Activation emails not being sent/received so set up BP Disable Activation to at least get new members.
This of course is leading to spam so tried adding CAPTCHA,it works on the comments section but not on the registration page.
My first attempt at this so stumbling blindly along!
Any ideas?
Hi! I need additional “if” while email activating page to check some curl (minecraft premium account) and if account is not premium additional label for sms payment. And if paycode is correct then player can activate account. Does anybody know how to do this? Or got some examples? Thanks.
Sorry for bad english.
@nealw Curious, does the same email activation issue come up if you change to BP Default theme and activate bbPress plugin?
Hello there. Does anyone have the solution to this problem? I am experiencing the dame thing and do not know how to resolve it. The email that people receive is the same thing that Geeter posted into the pastebin.com
Please help. This is holding us up at http://www.commutertisements.com
I have the same problem which I will describe as follows
1. User registers by completing the form [they are at sitename.com/register]
2. They get a page saying – you have registered and please check your email to activiate
3. Clicking on the link takes them to the page sitename.com/activate which says “Activate your Account.
Please provide a valid activation key. With the field ‘Activation key” and the button ‘Activate’.
Copying the activation key from the email does NOT get rid of this page.
5. However
a. checking from and admin account shows that the user has been successfully registered (not surprising)
b. the user can navigate the sit without restriction – which they could not do before clicking on the activation email. So presumably the account has been activated – but they user is told that they still need to enter the activation key. They can log in and can navigate the site. Only the wouldn’t know that.
How to fix this? None of the advice above seems much use. Last thing I want to do is instal an unnecessary plug in when presumably this is supposed to work.
I am update to date with software as follows
WP 3.4.2
BP 1.6.1
Problem observed in Chrome and Firefox.
Thanks
In my case i’ve found that mails were sent but classified as spam.
Unfortunatelly some mail servers are blacklisted by some ISP for spamming reasons.
I’m looking for solve this problem because people that want to register in my site are unable to receive properly the activation code sent by email.
For now i change the output message shown in the registration process, alerting people to check into the spam folder, but hope to solve it in a better way
Hi
WP 3.4.2, BP 1.6.1
I imported 20 users using AMU
I assigned them to a group using BP Group Management
They are listed as group members at http://www.site.org/user-groups/group-name in order of last activity.
Problem 1: recent additions display as username rather than display name; older members are showing as display name.
Problem 2: clicking on name for new members does not show member profile information.
When logged in as one of the new users:
Obviously these users have not been sent an activation email; however I was able to log in as one of the new users.
BuddyPress default theme and all plugins except BP disabled – same result.
Thanks for any suggestions. And if I need to activate these users: how do I do that?
Thanks
Hi Paul. I have sent you an email at the address you provided me with containing 4 activation links that I have used to try and register using buddypress.
Please share what the activation link the email looks like. If you don’t want to post it publically, send it to me at paul@buddypress.org. We’ve occasionally had reports of this issue but have not yet been able to figure out how to recreate it, so a copy of the email as received by the user would be helpful.
When a user registers for an account on a BuddyPress site, the user receives an email with an activation link. How would one go about making the following changes to the Activation email:
1. Customizing the subject of the email.
2. Customizing the message in the email.
3. Changing the “From” email to be “noreply@domain.com”.
I am also happy with the username on the activate.php page if editing the email is too hard, so it could look like:
Your account was activated successfully! You can now log in with the username *INSERT USERNAME* and password you provided when you signed up.
Then just the username in the email would be a good option OR showing the username on the activation page once the activation link in the email has been clicked.
Edit: I have edited the topic title to say send only username (not username + password) with activation email.
Sending any password in an email is a terrible idea. It’s not secure.
