Problems with people trying to create accounts

I just started my buddypress site and a number of people created accounts but never got confirmation emails. If they try to create a new account it says their email is already in use, yet they can’t log in. I tried creating an additional account myself using one of my other email accounts and had the same problem. Can anyone help me with this? And is there a way to have a “forgot password”?

Thanks for any help.

Try deleting user from admin and sign up again. They could also be getting the confirm email in their spam folder.

They aren’t listed under members. They never show up. It’s like they are in limbo.

Oh, I just found them in the admin section along with a bunch of bots. I’ll delete and have them try again.

@fernmacho This plugin allows you to activate users https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wp-activate-users/

It sounds like you also need to consider a way of blocking those bots that are signing up!
