BuddyPress.org

For unknown reason I suddenly started getting a page asking me for activation key every time after I register myself as a pretend new user and after clicking on the activation link in the email.

I read a post https://buddypress.org/support/topic/activation-code-after-new-member-registration/ with the same problem saying the activation key is in the email. I tried that so this is an example of the link,

http://localhost/wordpress/activate-3/zhG7gX5p4mtAnSv91K1ePhgBO3V3laWh/

I tried zhG7gX5p4mtAnSv91K1ePhgBO3V3laWh
activate-3/zhG7gX5p4mtAnSv91K1ePhgBO3V3laWh
and the entire url,
but none of them work.

In fact, the new user was never created because I checked the Users at admin backend, the new user was never there.

A participant in the post said BP Autologin on Activation plugin solved her this problem but I tried it and it did not work. I think my situation is different from other members in that post because their newly registered members was actually created but mine wasn’t.

I don’t know why this would happen because it never had this problem before.

My site is still localhosted, if that matters.

WP 4.7.3
BP 2.8.2

Please help.

Thank you.
