Thanks much I found out what it was. I put a plugin that was not compatible or tested with current versions.

My Bad I should have known better

I will check into the other things as well.

I already have mail-from I will get the others as well can only help in the future.

Thanks Again.

Another detail I realised, on wp-signups table, I found my 2 tests, with activation key and all. I got the info from the site holder, that ppl arent able to register since september, 2011.

On the wp-signup, I see 767 entries for new user, none of them activated, all of them have suspicious email accounts and the dates started mid september.

I was trying to use configure-smtp but it was generating error codes, so it was not working either way.

I hadn’t found that post, but it would probably would have done the trick.

As noted below, I now have it working with configure-smtp, but, is there a reason you like WP Mail SMTP over configure-smpt?

Many thanks,

Rory

Solved.

I needed to use the Configure SMTP plugin, but leave the default SMPT host at “local host”.

I needed to spend more time searching the error codes I was getting. That google search lead me to a post at http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/installing-mu-plugins

Solved now – The hosting company told me to swap outgoing mail server from “host111.hostmonster.com” to “localhost’ and now seems to be working.
Thanks tremendously for all your help @Ulrich and others….

It’s not easy being green.

Sort of, maybe. It tells me somewhere out there at bluehost php sendmail is waiting for instructions.

I already did my very best to uninstall WP (using simplescripts), delete the WP DB and DB users, and delete any other traces I could find using ftp. When I re-installed, I could register a new user to the WP installation and generate a successful activation email (which looked just like the ones they are talking about in your forum link). Then I installed BP, went through the same registration process, same address, same result in the WP BP users lists, but no email is sent.

Something is not landing in the right place or getting updated correctly when BP is installed. Still flummoxed.

Thank you though.

Aces,

I tried the Mail From plugin. That did not work.

I did finally have success (thanks to your post links and some tests).

Here is what worked:

1. Created a brand new email address at my host called noreply@mydomainname.com.
2. Installed the WP Mail SMTP plugin.
3. Entered the new noreply email account info into WP Mail SMTP and used it as the SMTP for the site outgoing mail.

Then I tested it. I entered a new test member. I received the Confirmation / Activation Email. I clicked and was activated.

It’s not perfect, but it works.

Thank you for your persistent help.

Rockter,

Good idea. I did look in junk folders. Still no email.

I am convinced it is not being sent out of BP/WP registration.

Other ideas?

Thanks.

Aces,

Good idea. Cool pluggin. I was looking for a SMTP pluggin, but some how missed this one.

I was able to install WP-Mail-SMTP.

I sent a “test” message from inside WP-Mail-SMTP and it went through.

However, when I tried to sign up / register a test member, NO Confirmation / Activation email was sent

I removed and re-installed BP, but still same problem.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

-Mike
