BuddyPress.org

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

For the activation and welcome messages you can find them in Email menu in dashboard. Find the one that you want to edit and add your text there and then test.

If wants to do it with code then please check this https://websistent.com/custom-buddypress-activation-email/

Same for the translation. You can change the content there in the Email menu.

Please see: https://prnt.sc/l5n76g

Thanks

I think now we have to just debug using these resources: https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/buddypress-does-not-send-activation-email

Hi,

Please try these plugins : https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-better-emails/ to check if the mail sending is allowed there. After setting up the plugin please try to send a test mail first and if it works then try with activation email.

Hopefully, it will help you.

Thanks

Hi,

Please put this code in child theme’s functions.php to disable BuddyPress emails
add_filter( 'bp_email_use_wp_mail', '__return_true' );

To mark users auto approve please use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-disable-activation-reloaded/

Hopefully, this will help.

Thanks

There were some changes in BuddyPress 3.0 to the activation process.

You’re most likely using a custom theme or you have overriden the activation template.

View the second point in this thread to fix this:

BuddyPress 3.1.0 is now available!

About the email, we updated the email to add the activation code. To see this update, you can reinstall the emails and that should allow your users to copy the activation code. View the first point in the above thread to find out how to do that.

What I’m asking is, is a user suppose to get a separate email with the activation code that they copy paste into?

When a user completes registration, the user should get an activation email which looks like this:

Thanks for registering!

To complete the activation of your account, go to the following link: example.com/activate/XXX/

XXX is the activation key. When the user clicks on this link, the activation page should show a form with the activation key already populated. The user has to submit the form to activate their account.

For those with custom themes, that activation key might not be automatically populated into the form. This has caused a few support forum threads like this one to pop up.

The fix for custom themes is noted here:

BuddyPress 3.1.0 is now available!

If you are not using a custom BuddyPress theme, then you can also try changing your theme to a WordPress default one to see if your problem still exists.

In v3.0.0, we changed the activation procedure because security clients can scan and follow links in emails, causing the user’s account to be activated unintentionally. To address this issue, account activation now requires the user to do a form submission.

We’re looking to improve the activation email content to make this clear in v3.2.0.

If you want to avoid the activation process entirely, there used to be an auto-activation plugin, but it might be outdated. Haven’t tested it in awhile.
