Invalid Email – User can’t register

  • Occasionally, I get an email from a user who tells me that they cannot register as a user on my site. They receive the message “invalid email,” what is the cause of this?

    My first thought would be that they have entered an invalid email address.

    Yes…and it is my first thought that as well, except I myself have had the same error in the past when creating a user. So, I wonder if there might be some other bug at play. (For the most recent person reporting the error, I also double checked that they were not already registered using that email address.)

    While we’re at it, any idea why sometimes users don’t have a clickable area or a fill-in field when they receive an email to change their password. (I have experienced this as well, once – I had to use my Admin login and change the password manually, which is what I end up doing for the users who have this same problem. I should note, It’s rare. I have about 30 new users per day, but only once a month or two does someone report this error.)

    So, the only reason you would get this error from TML/WP core is if the email already exists or they didn’t actually enter an email address. I can’t speak for any other plugin you may have enabled.

    Can you elaborate on your second question? I don’t follow.
