Registration verification emails not received, new user automatically approved

Hello,

I am using the free version of the User Registration plugin. In the User Registration -> Settings -> Emails, there is already a green “always active” label next to “Email Confirmation”, it is already on. On the registration page itself, after registration, the message “User registered. Verify your email by clicking on the link sent to your email.” appears. However, new users are not getting an email to get them to click a link to verify they did want to register (to prevent spam registrations). Instead, they get automatically accepted. They get the “registration approved email” instead, saying “Your registration on?example_site(.)com has been approved.”

For the settings in the individual forms, every option is some form of “auto approval” except one that is admin approval. Of the auto approval ones, there is one option that says “Auto approval after email confirmation”. I selected this one, but I guess a ’email confirmation” means the email that confirms they have registered, ie the message above saying the registration has been approved?

I want an email sent where the user has to click a link to confirm they want to sign up, not to confirm that they have signed up.

Can you assist?
