account activation link dead
-
Dear people who might know,
perhaps the solution is obvious to you, but I couldn’t find any help so far.
I’d like new users of my wordpress page after their registration to activate their account. Therefore I activated the “account activation e-mail in the um settings. The e-mail is being sent and the href=”{account_activation_link} is at its place. However, the e-mail being sent doesn’t contain a link but only plain text: “Activate your account here”.
Do I still have to create a page the link leads to? If so, how do I make the “account_activation_link”-placeholder refer to it?
And in general: Is my idea right to activate this account activation in order to reduce spam and strengthen the security of my site?
Thanks for your help
Max

Hi @bertabiber
Try adding the template in the link to your Activation Email template.

>>> Is my idea right to activate this account activation in order to reduce spam and strengthen the security of my site?
– Yes, it can reduce spam, and this doesn’t apply to the security of your site. I suggest that keep your plugins updated to get security updates.Regards,
now I might have understood what you pointed me at:
writing a line like
</div>
{account_activation_link}</div>
</div>indeed gives me the plain text activation link in the activation e-mail now. That’s a great step forward for me as a css and html-beginner. But still after some attempts to write the line correctly, I get the following output in the activation e-mail:
<div < ;a https://www.biberad.de?act=activate_via_email&hash=UCZVL87X41GBMrtG0EKyVvkugvIPFZM0xO6qpkBA&user_id=34
What’s this: < ;div < ;a ? Appearently I still write the line wrong. How should the line be writte in order to receive just the plain text activation link and with a paragraph before and after the link?
Many thanks and greetings
Max
