Have you found a solution for this? I’ve been looking for weeks, but somehow nobody seems to know how to do it…
Unfortunately nobody could help me with the problem. So I implemented a direct solution in the database.
I redirected people to another page and adjusted the link in the activation email accordingly.
Example link in the email https://www.abc.de/activation/?{{user.email}}
So when this link is called, the script asks which e-mail address is passed.
The script then searches for the e-mail address in the table “wp_users” and changes the status in the column user_status from 2 to 0.
The user is then immediately activated by clicking on the link. The script can be integrated into any page.
<?php
$queryString = strstr($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], ‘?’);
$queryString = ($queryString===false) ? ” : substr($queryString, 1);
$pdo = new PDO(‘mysql:host=localhost;dbname=example_db_1’, ‘example_usr_1’, ‘example password’);
$statement = $pdo->prepare(“UPDATE wp_users SET user_status = 0 WHERE user_email = ‘$queryString’”);
$statement->execute(array(‘user_status’ => 0));
?>
