Jeff,

I did what you suggested and cleared the error log. However, the registration problem is not creating any error in the error log.

After some testing I realized that if I create a user with a @gmail address, the registration verification email gets delivered without any problems. However if I register using an email on another one of my domains (however the emails are still hosted on google apps), I don’t get the activation email. I checked the spam folders but its not their either.

Please help.

Jeff, That sounds like a good idea. I am still having the registration email not reaching problem for some activations. Can I just backup and remove all old records by editing the error log or would this break something?

Yes, they do. Even the register page loads and works fine, just does not send out the activation email. The website is http://theindianstartup.com

Thanks,

I registered through buddypress so was not sure if it was an issue with its integration with WPMU. I guess Ill just wait for a few days for the emails to be available.

Also, I deleted the users that I registered through wp-signup (from the WPMU site admin->Users section). However, when I try to register those users again, it gives me an error that those email addresses are already taken.

I dont have any email address to test anymore!

No site does this anymore. You sign up choose your password and then it sends that password in an email with a verify link. I have 153 member and 100 of them had to do the forgot password because they did not change the password and deleted the email. I changed the text in the sign up to tell them a temporary password will show and to change it asap. What file is the email text in? I want to put a reminder in that activation email to alert them to change password.

Thanks

hmmmm…I’m not using any other plugins other than buddypress and Dynamic Content Gallery in the regular plugins folder. This wasn’t an issue a few days ago, but suddenly it stopped working, and I haven’t done anything to the core.

I’m using the latest trunk version, so it’s not a bug with RC-1.

The weirdest thing about it is if I add a subdomain to the activation email…ie. community.domain.com/wp-activate.php?123456789, the domain suddenly becomes activated, and the password is given. Can’t figure out why adding the subdomain to the URL would work, but I just tested it for the heck of it and it actually worked! Now I’m even more confused…maybe I’ll just hack the core and make it send emails out with the subdomain in the link … but really, I’d love to know why that is happening…I know hacking the core isn’t the best idea

To see what exactly I’m talking about…check out the two links below and take a look at the URL in each one…both have the exact same activation keys…but only the one with the “community” subdomain shows up correctly:

Activation WITH “community” subdomain:

http://tinyurl.com/bljm5s

Activation without “community” subdomain:

http://tinyurl.com/be7m6e

HAve this so far:

<form method=”post” action=”<?php echo site_url(‘activate?key=$user_name’); ?>”>

<input type=”submit” name=”activation” value=”Activate now” />

</form>

This returns ‘incorrect activation key’ – great, on the right road.

Now in place of $user_name, I need a function, but I can’t figure out how to get it in. I thought maybe putting this in there would do the trick:

$key = @mysql_query(‘SELECT activation_key FROM wp_signups WHERE login_user=$user_name’);

Then

<form method=”post” action=”<?php echo site_url(‘activate?key=$key’); ?>”>

<input type=”submit” name=”activation” value=”Activate now” />

</form>

Don’t think the syntax is right above and neither is it in the form above, Nicolagreco or J can you lend your expertise?

Thanks very much

J, thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that just takes you back to the registration page.

I’m thinking along the lines of using the predefined ‘user_name’ which identifies the user, then the activation key is ‘activation_key’ in the MySQL DB. I need to use the ‘user_name’ to call the equivalent activation key and I think ‘&_GET’ to the activation page by having the activation key placed into a url.

Anyone have any idea how to do this or have any suggestions?

Cheers all

Can any one tell me what function I might place into the ‘action’ field for the form that finds the key and takes you to the activation page?

<form method=”post” action=”<?php echo ‘http://&#8217; . $current_site->domain . $current_site->path ?>wp-activate.php”>

<input type=”submit” name=”activation” value=”Activate now” />

</form>

This is completely wrong I know as it takes me to http://wp-activate.php!

Thanks again

I have reCAPTCHA installed and TOS with tick box, I also have the password plugin installed which seems to be working nicely so that the user can create their own password.

Thanks for confirming, I shall give this a go and see what happens!

Cheers J
