Here’s how to get around activation. I was having the same problem on my test server, since it couldn’t send out activation emails. If you need activation emails enabled, then this workaround will not work for you.
For users that have already been created and cannot login, you can go into the wp_users table in the database and change their ‘user_status’ from ‘2’ to ‘0’ (if you have database access). ‘user_status’ is not used in WordPress — it’s a dead field — but Buddypress uses it to redirect to the homepage if a user has not been activated (aka user_status=2).
To avoid the problem for future user registrations, you can change a file to avoid activation (if you have FTP access). In the buddypress plugin directory, find bp-core/bp-core-signup.php. Find the line that says:
`$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_status = 2 WHERE ID = %d”, $user_id ) );`
In my installation (1.2.
it is on line 357. Change the 2 on that line to a 0. So it should look like this:
`$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_status = 0 WHERE ID = %d”, $user_id ) );`Now when a new user is created, they will automatically be able to login without their email needing to be confirmed.
