I use Bluehost as well, and had similar problems… I tried just about everything, and the only thing I could do was use an SMTP plugin… This is the one I use: http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/configure-smtp/
Here are a couple things I learned, so you don’t have to bang your head as much as I did…
– use ‘localhost’ as the SMTP hostname in the config file
– Make SURE you are using an email address that is being hosted on Bluehost for the username/password
Good luck!
Are they not getting *sent* or are they not getting *recieved*? Becasue those are two separate issues.
Are you the admin getting email notifies? If yes, then you know the mails are getting sent.
If some users are not receiving emails, do they have hotmail or comcast addresses?
the @alienjackhammer solution worked for me, using the Configure SMTP plug in.
i will check that FAQ as well, thanks for pointing that out.
I have a problem where some are not being received – likely gone into junk folder – and the member needs a new activation setn. Is there a way for me to either re-send the activation email? or simply activate their membership from within the admin?
@mercime Thank You! I will look into it … right now its WP+BP not multi-site.
@mercime … Converted my site to MultiSite on Thursday and installed the recommended plugin. No change. My guess is that this plugin work ONLY for multisite blogs that have been created, not overall users. I see this message when I click the link for the plugin “No user activation keys in $wpdb->signups.”
