Pending Users are added to groups

  • Hello!

    We have a site using:

    – BuddyBoss plugin/theme
    – BP Auto Group Join
    – Buddypress Group Email Subscription

    We have “BP Auto Group Join” configured so all users on the site are joined automatically to a handful of Groups.

    We noticed that our site is sending Weekly summary emails to Pending users. Pending users = those users who created an account but never clicked on the Activation email. Most of these are fake/spammy emails who somehow went around our Captcha in our registration page.

    Because of this issue, our site is sending too many email bounces and this is affecting our Amazon SES account.

    So what’s happening is that BP Auto Group Join is joining these Pending users to the configured Groups. Can BP Auto Group Join be fixed so it only joins if the User is active? (has clicked the Activation email)

    Thanks.

    As of now there is no option to BP Auto Group Join be fixed so it only joins if the User is active.

    But If you have the BuddyPress Member Types plugin configured on your website, the Auto-Join Users to this Group meta box
    will list an option Select by member type to auto-join members based on the member type.

    Also regarding “our site is sending too many email bounces and this is affecting our Amazon SES account.” concern, you can use WP Mail SMTP

    Thank you.
