Look aT a work around see my other thread:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/140207

I went through this same problem.
I now have a work around see my other thread:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/140207

Sure go in under “Manage” off the Dashboard identify and delete

I checked out the blog you listed with your profile, https://www.camionetica.com and it seemed to be working fine. Do you have another site? Hard to tell anything without looking.

I agree with Mileika, in my case I am trying to use a blog to stimulate community development ideas. I want everyone’s ideas and I have opened the comments so anyone can comment. I do not want anonymous content especially those with words as my mother taught me: “were not used in polite company”. I think the “dashboard” has so much that it tends to overwhelm the neophyte. Left totaly to my descretion I would eliminate the news releases from WordPress. But I certainly have no interest in propogating changes that require updating everytime the system changes.

Pri? Did you look at my post above? You should be able to cut and paste to try my solution.

I have a solution and I posted it see my post

I did a patch

I traced through this and IDed the problem, created a work-a-round. Here is the problem Only one email is sent the second results in a system 500 error. I went in to the module wp_new_user_notification found in pluggables.php in wp-include, and changed it so the notice to to the new user goes first and cancelled the notice to the admin on new users with password. Code follows:

if ( !function_exists('wp_new_user_notification') ) :
function wp_new_user_notification($user_id, $plaintext_pass = '') {
	$user = new WP_User($user_id);

	$user_login = stripslashes($user->user_login);
	$user_email = stripslashes($user->user_email);

	$message  = sprintf(__('Username: %s'), $user_login) . "\r\n";
	$message .= sprintf(__('Password: %s'), $plaintext_pass) . "\r\n";
	$message .= get_option('siteurl') . "/wp-login.php\r\n";

    if ( !empty($plaintext_pass) )
  	wp_mail($user_email, sprintf(__('[%s] Your username and password'), get_option('blogname')), $message);

	$message  = sprintf(__('New user registration on your blog %s:'), get_option('blogname')) . "\r\n\r\n";
	$message .= sprintf(__('Username: %s'), $user_login) . "\r\n\r\n";
	$message .= sprintf(__('E-mail: %s'), $user_email) .  "\r\n";
    // Until better fix comes along don't tell admin about new registraton
    if ( empty($plaintext_pass) )
   	wp_mail(get_option('admin_email'), sprintf(__('[%s] New User Registration'), get_option('blogname')), $message);

    return;

}
endif;

My change to the original fuction is the order of the notification and then eliminating the notice to admin which saves the 500 error ===> clean termination. I might look into adding a cc to Admin if I can but for now this works.
I hope this helps someone else. It does not solve the problem: why do two calls in a row to the mail function get an HTTP 500 error? I verified this was the case by trying to send two identical messages in a row. Also I killed my Norton and tried again smae result.

I am having the same problem. I have read lots of posts most seem to say there is a problem some of the time in having the email to the new user accepted by the outgong mail service. I don’t really think that is it because I can watch my anti-virus filter jump up on the out going mail. It jumps up scans the first mail … then nothing and I get a System 500 error. Obiously everyone can’t be having this problem but I suspect it is centered on self hosters.

dk-jek Could you share the solution you found. “Mail-server-setup” doesn’t talk to me. What did you find how do you fix it??

Okay I’m just going to add I did the upgrade to 2.3.1 and there was no improvment. Email Notices are going to the admin address but not back to the user that registers. Every other part of this is going so well I hate to have this hanging around.

More on this problem. I installed WP Mail SMTP WordPress plugin The first time I tried a test registration it went all the way through no errors (previously it had been giving me a HTTP 500 error) BUT no email went anywhere. I realized that I needed to update the plugin with SMTP info I went and did that sent the test message (it was sent and received at my gmail account) I then registerd to the gmail account. It did send a message to the admin account (not gmail) but there was a HTTP 500 error and no message was sent to the gamail account. So essentially no diference whether I am use the sendmail function or SMTP

Ideas or sugestions??

I tried the fix Drothism suggested at the start of this post. … But traced the modification point to wp-login (register) the result was an immediate 500 error when I tried to register a new user. I have more information about my problem but I’m going to keep looking here for a solution or the closest approximation of the symptoms I have before posting. Glenn

NEW FIX: I tried all the .htaccess fixes none worked … I then looked at my error log (not the screen error) and found: Directory index forbidden by Options directive

So I went into the apache config file and added

<Directory />
Options All
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>

to my virtual host for wordpress

my login then gave me the listing of all files in wp-admin instead of directly to “index” but clicking on index got me IN.

So for those do-it-your-selfers whose motto is: “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, BUT EXCITING AS HELL. There you go.
