If you sent it from your own email address to yourself that will happen as gmail thinks it’s suspicious…

Edit your theme’s stylesheet and add the following:
p.wysija-after-register {
clear:both;
float:right;
width: 48%;}

Yes I need this too.

Also just noticed still getting:

Hi Michael, don’t worry I am trying to help you as best I can!

They can also access members too, don’t know what other areas to check (we really only allow access to the groups). This is when Private Network IS NOT CHECKED.
When it IS CHECKED, it does redirect me to my profile, so that is the correct behaviour.

Here’s the pastebin: https://pastebin.com/kYpSxYkv
It’s in groups-loop.php. It’s not really a function just checks whether the user is logged in or not, so only shows if they are not logged in so doesn’t interfere with what you’re doing.

Would it help for me to give you a login to my test site? It is pretty much an exact copy, I am just working on a new theme for it.

Hi Michael

So the issue is that once a user has activated their account using the link in the email, they are able to view the buddypress pages rather than being redirected to their profile. However they are unable to take action as the buttons e.g. “join group” are not available.

The user_status is indeed have 69 before approval.

The issue is not there when they are logged out because I haven’t checked “Only registered or approved members can view BuddyPress pages (Private Network).”, so they can view groups and there is a message telling them to register if they want to join the group (that’s a function I created). If I do select that private network option, they are unable to view the Buddypress pages, so that is the correct behaviour.

Hi Michael, Any update on this? I am still able to register as a test user and then see the groups pages etc but can’t join as no button.

Sorry another update – although moderation is now working, it’s not locking me out of Buddypress components, like groups, but there is no “join group” buttons etc available to me so cannot interact, but not being redirected.

Well…I have a bit of an apology to make. It was my fault the moderation wasn’t working.
I was trying to stop the admin emails going saying there was someone to moderate in the function wds_bp_registration_options_bp_core_activate_account

I removed the action and didn’t see that this basically stops moderation full stop instead of just the email.

So Michael, VERY SORRY!!

How can I stop the wp_mail action for the admin email without disabling the whole function?

Yeah actually not a single buddypress email was being sent when I updated…like all the private message notifications and stuff. I *think* I did try and turn the moderation off and on again but can’t 100% confirm this.

Michael – sorry but I only checked that I could join a group (the button was available and I could browse). It WAS buddypress components. To help you out though I have a duplicate test site so I can double check some of your questions, but as it was the live site (and the owner was panicking about spammers) I simply just had to patch it up and get it working.

I really appreciate all your help and for getting this back up and running though, you’re doing a great job!

Michael the user is still able to log in without approval and use the whole site. I have downloaded the Jibbius version from Github which works just fine

Jibbius version BP registration 3.5 from Github

I’m having exactly the same issue as @75media

I visit, click “sign up”, receive my WP account activation email, click it and get a message saying my account is activated, but also see the message saying that new users must be approved.

However, I can now log in and do anything, without the admin having to approve my account. Once I am activated, I am not showing up in the BP Registrations Member Requests section.

Thank you so so much. I would never have worked this out in a million years. I have changed it now and hopefully everything will be ok tomorrow.

We are using only using Wysija https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wysija-newsletters/
and the Elastic email plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/elasticemailv1/

Elastic email said that basically there is nothing being passed as html into their rest api, so the html output is being fed into the rest API as the plaintext option. Thing is, in that EE plugin, there’s nothing you can do to edit it.

I’ve temporarily just set the html body to be $message_plaintext to stop any issues temporarily as emails are being rejected as spam in their current form.

I can’t deactivate the plugin, but it was working before we moved to EE.

I have found the answer – the problem is that the script was being called after, but using wp_print_scripts instead of wp_enqueue_scripts solves the issue.
