E-mail verification

Hi, thanks for the input. I will be putting that into the 1.6.0.0 update, I have it written in already but am still in the testing phase. The next release (1.5.2.0) will include some extra features as well and that should be out this week Wednesday I hope if all goes well. I will then finish up the rest of it and include email verification as well as the option to approve new users. The time frame for that should be the end of May if everything goes as scheduled.

Hello,

I have a user to register. He gets a confirmation email that says click here to verify email. When he clicks it goes to a page not found.

So, I then approved him anyway thinking I would just not do approval of emails. He then received a link saying he was approved. But when he clicked the link it still showed page not found.

Now on top of all that. Now that I approved him… he does not show up in users at all.

Please help.

Hi, thanks for the input. When you have the Email Verification or New User Approve options set, if the user doesn’t fill out his own password during registration, the user is not added to active users until they reset the password. Unless something funky happened, that user should be in the users table however the user_status field will be 2 until they reset their password. So have him try to go to the login page and reset his password. Otherwise if you have access to the database go into it and change the user status from 2 to 0 for the user and then they should show up in the Users Table.

You could add the password to the registration form to bypass that problem but if you have email confirm and new user approve set to true then you need to have those done before you can reset the password, after that si done the user will get a reset password link. That is done to better control password strength options.

As for the page not found, the new update creates 5 new templates for Lost Password, Email Confirm, Reset Password, Update Password and Account Locked Out, so my guess is those were not installed properly. Check to see if those pages exist. I also added a field in the posts table ura_post_type to verify my special templates and that field should be ura-page for my templates. If either of those are missing you will get the page not found.

Outside of that without looking at it I don’t know what else to tell you until I have more information, but I will help you as best I can.

I though I had an activate user option for new users in case of problems like this but I must have removed it, I will be sure to include that in the next update in case of emergencies like this. Anyways, let me know if the pages were created and if you have both New User Approve and Email Verify set and if you require the password for registration or not.

Hello,

I see that the templates were made. When my test user clicks on verify email in the email that is sent to him this is apart of the web address (/email-confirm?&action=verify-email&key) its not calling for Email Verify Template.

Is there a shortcode that I am supposed to put in the email verify Template page.

NO, but I just checked it and it works on my test site but not on my live site now either, so turn it off for the time being, I will work on a fix but do not have time tonight. I will get on it first thing in the morning. I honestly do not know what is going on at this point, everything was working fine before when I released it. I will look into it first thing tomorrow for you.

Okay, I was checking it a little and it works on one site and not on the other site, both on the same server, so I don’t know wtf is going on but I will look further into it tomorrow. Curiosity got me looking at it now but I have to go. Thanks for the input!

Okay, I am releasing 1.5.3.1 now which should fix this problem.Apparently the way I had it set up it only worked on some themes. The template was called but I did not add what post type to the query posts args and after I did then it worked on the themes where it wasn’t working. I think this fix should solve your problem for the email issue.
