wp-activate.php does not work in multi-user site

  • I’m running multiple sites on my WordPress 3.1 install, and I’ve noticed a couple of major bugs with wp-activate.php. I’m using subdirectories to host sub-sites (as opposed to subdomains).

    1) When I add a new user to a subsite, it sends them a link to the wp-activate.php within the subsite. This file clearly doesn’t exist and thus generates a Not Found error. For example:

    https://my_domain.com/my_subsite_name/wp-activate.php?key=123456789

    2) Even if I try sending the new user to wp-activate.php at the root level, it just shows a blank page and the user is not activated.

    Aside from the bugs that need to be fixed, does anyone know of a work around for this? I really need this functionality right now.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Bill

  • And then adding them back in one at a time, of course.

    And a blank white screen is always a php error, so check those error logs too.

    This is the error I get but it’s out of my depth:

    uncaught exception: [Exception..."Component returned failure code:0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)[nslWebNavigation.loadURI]" nsresult:"0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/viewSource.js :: viewSource :: line 179" data:no]

    Any advice you can shed on this would be incredibly helpful. It’s also really strange to me that this was working fine a few days ago and I don’t recall installing any plugins since then.

    Check it in Firefox too?

    That error code actually came out of Firefox

    Whao really? saw the chrome mention in it.

    I thought that was strange too, but it’s straight out of Firefox :/

    Do you have any caching turned on? Maybe a cached page has that error…

    I dunno. Got the same blank screen in chrome and I don’t use chrome much. No caching plugins. Still a dev site.

    Start checking error logs and disabling plugins.

    HI GUYS
    Is there anyway we can use the activation link to activate an user account.

    Like when the user will log in , the user will receive an activation link in his email.

    The user will click it to activate the account

    I am using a multisite

    amit_clavib – When the user registers they get an activation link.

    If you need further help, please make a new topic for yourself. This one is abotu a different matter.
