Bug in Email of Password to New Registrants Found

  • For the past several weeks, I’ve had reports of people subscribing to my blog and getting an email confirmation that was blank. I’ve spent about 8 hours on this problem After digging pretty deeply on this, we think we’ve got a lock on what’s going on. ?The password info is getting sent when a new user mail goes out, but it’s getting lumped in with the rest of the mail header info.

    Here’s an excerpt of the full message view from Gmail; note the bold lines.

    Clearly a carriage return is missing before the email content is appended to the header for transmission.

    I assume this is probably a WP3 bug but I haven’t seen any other reports of this issue here. I’d sure appreciate someone fixing this one ASAP or letting me know where else to look.

    Can anyone confirm that this is working for them? I can’t believe that I can post a fairly serious bug report and in two days not get a peep of a response here. Unless I’m the only one with the problem?

    Don’t know if you are the only one, but I turned on registration for my site and registered myself with a different email and I got two emails, one to the new user me and one to admin me – both had what looked like good info in them.

    A common debug suggestion is to turn off your Plug-In’s and see if things get better or try the default theme or 2010 Theme.

    I have in fact disabled all plugins to no effect. I have also tried the default theme. This problem must be in the core code because, as you can see from the fragment I provided above, the email is being formatted wrong.

    Any ideas where I might fine a developer who would look at this for a fee and fix it? I’m out of ideas and this is really hurting my site badly.

    There is a job posting area here somewhere connected to this site but I am sorry that I can’t remember where it is.

    You might have a corrupted file in your install, but what section would need to be reloaded is above my pay-grade so I am reluctant to give you advice on that.
