Hi,
is there anything special about the site? Like any redirection setup or content restriction?
When you open the link, does it remain the same or do you get redirected to some other url?

I have tested with BuddyPress 3.2 and can see that the link of format

http://example.com/activate/qwLW319TDBVVJs7DkSZ4NK6OjWhrUNLt/

auto fills the key entry on activation page correctly.

Hi,
Thank you for the details. No need for the site link.

Can you please post the code from your wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/activate.php and post the code on pastebin.php and link me.

Regards

BuddyPress Legacy is the pack that is activated

Thank you for the details. No need to change the theme.

Can you please visit the Dashboard->Settings->BuddyPress and tell me which template pack is active? I will need one more detail after that to assist you.

@sbrajesh i am using the default theme twenty-seventeen. I cant find a buddypress folder on it. what do you suggest i do? what free theme do you recommend i use at this time?

Hi,
The way the activation link and the way input is filled changed in 3.0.

If you are using a custom theme or have a copy of activate.php in yourtheme/buddypress/members/, you will need to update it.

Please open the file yourtheme/buddypress/members/activate.php in an editor and look for a line like this

<input type="text" name="key" id="key" value="" />

Change it to

<input type="text" name="key" id="key" value="<?php echo esc_attr( bp_get_current_activation_key() ); ?>" />

That will auto fill the input key.

Hope it helps.

Regards
Brajesh

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.

What would it be for the CSS?

This down;t work:

.all-members {
display: none;
}

(because I am not using the Buddypress theme to do it his way).

Have you tried the solution mentioned here.

Please use the code button when posting code.

BuddyPress does not show the user role on a user profile.

Can you find out if it is your theme or some plugin that is showing the role?
That would be the best place to make your change.

Please try this https://stevenword.com/wordpress/buddypress-disable-the-public-members-directory/
to disable members directory.

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
