New User Activation email sends but not password email…?

    Hi I have experienced a problem since upgrading wordpress…
    When new users attempt to sign up, they get their registration email fine, but when they click on the link, no 2nd email is sent with the password.

    I have installed a plugin to monitor mail and I can confirm that the 2nd email is not being sent by WordPress and the new user is not listed in the users on the wordpress control panel.

    Any ideas how I can move forward on this?

    Many Thanks

    …also if I manually add a user, making sure to check the ‘send user notification’ box, still no email is sent…
    Don’t know what to do next

    emails from contact forms also are going out fine..

    BTW new users are signing up using BBPress signup shortcode, which is sending initial registration activation email correctly. So it is perhaps the WordPress core email functionality that is failing (if this uses a different mechanism)…
    Thoughts?

    I notice that when I change a password a notification is emailed to admin, so WordPress core is sending emails…

    hah – tracked it down to custom login (3.2.4) plugin – this presumably messes with the mail functionality of wordpress core – once I deactivated it properly (not just unhooking it from wordpress on it’s own settings page), emails started working properly again.
    Rather have functioning users and BBPress than a pretty signup screen!
    Phew
