BuddyPress.org

Update, I did finally receive at activation email. After I did a resend activation after the first registration activation didn’t arrive after approx 10 mins. But it does not seem very reliable in my early tests. I will tried on few more different email addresses just to get a measure of how well it performs in general. But since it is the first experience one has with the website, failures are going to kill the traffic quick smart 🙁

IMHO, account activation is a core function that needs to be super reliable.

I have the same problem. The lack of community support makes me feel this plugin may not be worth the effort.

When you check the manage signups the new registered user is awaiting to be activated. It shows that an email has been sent. After you try and resend the activation email. It does trigger and add to the count – showing two emails sent. So it would seem most of the functionality is working. If I deactivate the plugin, my wordpress email notifications is working. I’ve checked the spam folder, and even tried non-gmail accounts and still getting no activation emails at all. However, I have received a buddypress notification when another member does a mention. So it appears some kind of small bug is the problem.

Does any of the core developers for BuddyPress check theses support forums?

I have even modified the original message in bp-core-functions.php

There are 4 instances of that string in that file. Did you change all of them ?

As you should know – editing core files is not a good idea.
That string is in the buddypress.pot file.
And it seems to be in the buddypress-fr_FR files.

So I do not know why you are having issues.
Have you tried using the Repair Tool – …/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bp-tools > Reinstall emails (delete and restore from defaults).

I’d like to be able to do the same thing. I don’t want to skip the activation email, but when the user clicks the link in the email it should activate their account and log them in rather than forcing them to click “Activate”, then click “Log In”, then log in.

if they got an email it has the key. You can look in the database to see if the signup has assigned one.

Under User you can resend them the activation key. currently there is no user side resend option, it requires admin access to do the resend.

I use a request form as a work around to for resend requests.

Doesnt work

all the big people keep posting this link, it doenst work, everything is in order but it wont just work. Why not include the activation code to their email so that they can copy it. I activated someones email by copying it from the address bar, now i have a bunch of users piled up that cant activate i know its because they are not seeing it in the box and dont know that they can activate it via copying from browser address.

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;
}

Please add this snippet as well.

Thanks

add_filter( 'bp_core_signup_send_activation_key', 'ps_disable_activation_email' );
function ps_disable_activation_email() {
	return false;
}

Please try this code.

Hi,

BuddyPress does not send any password. It always sends an activation email and after activating your account by clicking on the link sent in the mail you have to log in with your entered password.

There must be any third party plugin or any custom code that is sending the password in the mail.

Thanks

Hi,

Please contact your hosting providers once regarding the issue.

Also please try this plugin once https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-better-emails/ and send a test mail to check if mail is working fine, then try registering on the site and check if received activation mail or not.

Thanks

Everytime I need to go back to admin section, tools -> buddypress.

Let me explain, as you are using Memberpress registration so you are not following BuddyPress user activation process which is ‘User registers on your site and then they get an activation mail where they get a link and by clicking that they activate their account and as soon as they log in the count gets updated.’

So here one can disable activation email and then can go to the Users screen and there can activate them manually and as soon as they log in there on the site they will be listed there.

Normally if people are not deactivating BuddyPress activation mail then I suggest them this plugin https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-autologin-on-activation/ so that their users get logged-in automatically as soon as they activate their account and in this way, BuddyPress will receive it’s active members data and count will be fine there.

Right now it seems like you are having issues there due to Memberpress registration. I will suggest you auto-login them on registration and redirect them to their BuddyPress profile and in this way, you do not have to go and do that count fix again and again hopefully.

Thanks

We also have this problem with Version 3.2.0 on phplist.org. Just as described by the OP: emails contain a link that contains the activation code, but leads to a page whith an empty activation code form field, which requires manual copy and pasting of the code inside. Many of our users have reported this as a bug and requested help.

Members directory is from BuddyPress. Buddypress always send an activation email when a new user registers from it’s register page. If you are not following that process then certainly you are using memberpress process and have to repair the count always or else let them login and when they will access Buddypress pages they will be listed automatically.

Thanks
