Yes. I installed WP Mail SMTP and tried all that. Though I’m seeing something I may not have tried so I’m going to give that a go and see what happens.
Nevermind. The thing I thought I hadn’t done I had already done. :-/
What are you running in terms of diagnostics? I take it you have Debug on? No errors?
Diagnostics? Good questions. Debug is on. No errors. Wp mail sends test emails fine, but no activation email working.
When things get touchy I use Query Monitor, which catches warnings etc. and Debug Bar for js and other errors. Might be worth trying them. I’ve not been able to replicate this so it’s difficult to advise or investigate for myself.
By the way your site link does not work.
Not sure how that link doesn’t work. I just clicked it and it worked just fine.

Are query Monitor and Debug Bar plugins or other software?
Ok. Installed query monitor and debug bar. Now what do I do?
Yep nothing received this side, wonder what it is that could be causing it? Do you think it might be environment related?
Query Mon usually glows a colour if it’s picking up errors in general, same with debug bar. I can see there’s a problem here – in order to run both those apps, you need to be logged in as admin. However to view the Register page you need to be logged out.
There’s an off-chance that you might pick up errors with these tools thought, so take a look round your site with them running, and tke a note of any errors highlighted, it’s likely they’ll pick up a few unrelated errors.
I dunno. I’m no expert, but I do know enough to not start clicking extra things when you aren’t entirely sure what to do.
I say that because all I started with was installing buddy press. Got the register thing up and running, and ran into this problem straight away.
Chatted with WordPress who helped me find a thread here which is where I installed WP Mail SMTP, which will send a test email just fine, but nothing else. I even see that you registered.
I think if nothing else that there’s a feature request in this – Add a debug mode to the register page so that site admin can test it more easily.
Ok. I’m seeing the query monitor thing now.
This is what query monitor shows me. Looks like these 2 are highlighted red:

Ah so you’ve not got Debug turned on.
I thought I did. Where do I turn it on?
This also showed up red
Capability Checks
For performance reasons, this panel is not enabled by default. To enable it, add the following code to your wp-config.php file:
define( ‘QM_ENABLE_CAPS_PANEL’, true );
This page explains about it:
https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
in wp-config.php, there’s a section a bit over halfway down where WP_DEBUGis set to false, you can add the code there.
The idea is you only really run this stuff on a test setup full time, on a production server you’d only run them when debugging a specific problem.
So WordPress tells me to tell you that my site is hosted at WordPress and that I don’t have ftp access.

You mean you have a site on WordPress.com?
I was trying to quote myself. Didn’t mean to send that twice.
