Allow users to resend confirmation email

Hi @angelachong83

Unfortunately, UM doesn’t have the resend confirmation email in the front-end.

This has been added to the feature request list:
https://github.com/ultimatemember/ultimatemember/issues/707

Regards,

Thanks @champsupertram!

I imagine it shouldn’t be that difficult right? Since the admin can do this at the admin dashboard, and the default WordPress sign up page has it, meaning that the business logic is already there. Just need to connect it to the UM sign up page.

Or am I being too naive?

I too am looking for exactly the same thing.

It’s impossible for a user to log-in if the email was not validated (imagine the user returns some time after, how can he/she validate it?).

I assume that a link to resend the validation email would be sufficient?

@andrecarvalho There is always 2 ways to let the users request for the verification to be resent,

1. After they sign up, the confirmation message should sound like, “Registration successful. We have just sent you a verification email. If you did not receive it, you can request to resend”, where the users can click on “resend” the verification email will be resent.

2. If the users did not check their email and return back to the website after few days, they will try to login where they should see the message, “Your email is pending for confirmation. Please check your email to confirm. If you did not receive it, you can request to resend”. Similar as above, the users can click on “resend” to request for the verification email to be resent.

Make sense?

Now I have made a quick fix for this issue with resending activation emails:

A user attempt to login without e-mail activation will give the user a new (resend) activation e-mail and a prompt to verify the account.
