    Hello, when new users go through the sign up process they are prompted an email to activate their profile. However now in the email they click the link to activate which now leads to a page “Please provide a valid activation key.” Site was never set up with any activation key process. Any help?

    Hi,
    Your code is correct.

    Can you please post me a sample link that you have received in your email? Also, are you using any content restriction/redirection plugin?

    Hi,
    is there anything special about the site? Like any redirection setup or content restriction?
    When you open the link, does it remain the same or do you get redirected to some other url?

    I have tested with BuddyPress 3.2 and can see that the link of format

    
    http://example.com/activate/qwLW319TDBVVJs7DkSZ4NK6OjWhrUNLt/
    

    auto fills the key entry on activation page correctly.

    LH Private BuddyPress? Restricts non logged in users from accessing other users profile, activity etc

    @sbrajesh

    Thank you.

    My first suggestion will be to try disabling the LH Private BuddyPress, if that does not solve it you should try deactivating Youzer and BP Force Profile photo(assuming bp-custom.php) and child theme’s functions.php does not have any redirection.

    Please give it a try and let me know if any of the above resolves the issue?

    i just deactivated Youzer and it worked. The problem is from the Youzer plugin. Any ideas what i can do about it?

    @sbrajesh

    Thank you.
    Since I don’t use Youzer, I will suggest asking the support for this plugin to look into it.

    My guess is either they are doing a redirect or filtering out your template and replacing with their own while their activate template is not updated and that’s why it is happening.

    @sbrajesh That’s good to know, thanks for the suggestion, we’ll try it.

    Thank you @samtuke, Please do and let me know how it goes.


    @dopeboy
    ,
    Thank you for sharing your code. The issue is with youzer form generation and I am unable to suggest a fix as the only part I can see is call to form generator in the activate.php

    Since the form generator is not visible to me, I will suggest contacting the plugin developer and ask them to update their plugin and use the bp_get_current_activation_key() in the activation form.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    if they got an email it has the key. You can look in the database to see if the signup has assigned one.

    Under User you can resend them the activation key. currently there is no user side resend option, it requires admin access to do the resend.

    I use a request form as a work around to for resend requests.

    @dopeboy

    @haleyscorner yes I can resend from wp-admin>users>manage sign up


    @sbrajesh
    thanks so much for your support

    I’m simply going to insert a notice that will ask uses to copy code from their browser address and paste into box to activate. I have been trying that in the buddypress plugin but kept seeing nothing. Now u know its from the youzer plugin I’m going to do that while I work on a solution or wait for an update. Thanks so much.
