Legitimate users are unable to register at the site as no mail is sent for verification link. But spammers who may not complete sign up ?get verification and registered.How can this happen? Notifications and contact forms work nicely. Is it different email set ups in buddypress causing this issue?
But wordpress (after deactivating buddypress) alone can send the verification mail.
I tried with WP-SMTP mail plugin change. Tried to configure host environment. But failed. Can someone analyze?
Thank you in advance.

It’s probably because you are using a Facebook login plugin, which would bypass any activation process (I’m guessing).

I disabled facebook login. But the issue stays the same.

And mails are sent when registered from the back end. Then is it an issue with the

<li style= “color:blue”> ‘complete Sign Up`

button function? Still cannot figure it out.

Cause was found. Issue resolved. One extended profile field (required) has not been loaded to the registration page. Therefore email is not sent. Once the field was deleted, activation mails are sent.
