Verification links not working

Not sure what happened, but trying again!

Formatting web page link to re-send the verification like this:

“a href=”%resend_verification_url%”>click here to re-send it.”

Link in email to new customer formatted this way:

“a href=”/%verification_url%”Verify”

If “%verification_url%” is a placeholder, what should replace it?

Sorry if I’m being thick!

Apologies for posting continuous questions as I try to work through this. Obviously, I am not a coder!

I *think* I’ve figured out that the links need to be formatted like so:

/account/?c=USERID&action=ywcmap_resend_email_action&to=1654

email

wp-admin/users.php?action=resetpassword&users=USERID&_wpnonce=197652b3f7

Am I on right track?

I give up! All I want at this point is to be able to insert a link into the new user account email that is a link to verify the new user email.

I see all this:

You can use the [alg_wc_ev_email_content_placeholder] shortcode to append the verification email to some custom email template.
In order to use it, it’s necessary to:

Enable the option Email > Activation email > Fine tune activation email placement
Disable the option Email > Activation email > Send as a separate email
Most probably the option Emails > Activation email > Email template should be set as Plain
Params for the [alg_wc_ev_email_content_placeholder] shortcode:

user_email

But I just don’t understand how to translate that into a link in the email template.

??

Hello,

I’m sorry but even after so many questions I’m not sure if I understood your issue.

By default, this plugin sends the verification link in a separate email.
If you want to send the link into the new user account email you should:

– Disable “Email > Activation email > Send as a separate email”

And the option “Email > Activation email > Email content” doesn’t need to be changed.

Let me know if it helps

Adding this here as well, in case any other potential users of this plugin run into the same problems.

I ended up paying to upgrade to the PRO version in the hopes it might provide a solution. Unfortunately not. I hope you can help address my concerns. I really feel it is important for customers to only be sent one email on a new account creation. Why confuse them and make them do extra work? Having said that, if only 2 emails work properly, so be it.

See below. Hopefully the clues I provide can lead to a solution.

Enabling the verification link within the new account email simply does not work.
-When the nonce link is inside the new account email they all end with “n0-” and do not work
-HOWEVER, the working links in the separate verification email all end with “J9”

If we enable 2 separate emails, and set it so the new account email is not sent until the email is verified, all the links work as expected, BUT the customer is getting the new account email at the same time as the verification email and then AGAIN after verification.
-This is a problem because a) it’s annoying to the customer, and b) the woocommerce emails automatically create a password that is in the email and the customer now has 2 different randomly generated passwords.

I thought I found a clever solution, by deactivating the woocommerce new account email and creating a verification email in the plugin settings using html. This ALMOST worked, but the tags to pull in the woocommerce userID, password, and anything else you might want to include do not appear. Can’t very well send a new account email without a password.

I have checked all my plugin settings many times and they are correct. It seems as if the only way for the plugin to “work” is to have both emails sent at the same time. Right now I cannot see how anyone is successfully using your plugin in any other way and upgrading to paid PRO offers no advantages.

Can you deliver what you promise regarding this plugin?`

Email verification for Woocommerce.
Worst plugin experience I’ve ever had. Would give a zero rating if I could.
Spent days trying to get it to work properly & never could. Gave developer admin rights to my site so they could try to help and next thing I know my entire site was down and I had to restore from a backup. Hopefully I’ll get my $ back…

Hi @aetkin ,

We’ve already talked about this issue but I just noticed this wp.org ticket is not resolved yet so I’m just going to put our conclusions here too.

The initial problem was a conflict between our plugin and the Email customizer plugin. We ended up creating a compatibility option between the plugins and now it works just fine.

And then we noticed there was a new compatibility problem with YITH customize my account page plugin.

But the purpose of our plugin and YITH’s are very similar and they are not supposed to work well simultaneously anyway.

As I’ve said before let me know if you decide to try our plugin again in the future. I really believe it can work well on your site and I’m willing to help you with the setup
