Since you mention wp_signups, I see we’re talking about multisite. Have you checked your multisite settings?
Well it’s not a multisite so maybe that’s part of the issue.
For whatever reason that I haven’t been able to figure out or for that matter replicate I did eventually get an email back after creating a user. However when I actually tried to login as that user I was unable to. Something strange is going on here.
How are you using wp_signups without using multisite?
He’ll if I know Jeff. The table is in the database and records get written to it. I created a page template that does an is_multisite function call just to make sure I’m not going crazy and it cones back false.
Interesting. But wp_signups is being populated? Any other plugins?
Plenty of other plugins but none that deal with the login process other than TML.
And yes the wp_signups table gets populated when I create a new user on the site but wp_users table does not get populated. This is probably why the user can’t login when they try.
For the hell of it I just renamed the wp_signups table to be wp_signups2
I created a new user which immediately generated an email for me to complete the activation of the account. Yay, an email!!
Clicking on the link in the email gives me this
ERROR: Sorry, that key does not appear to be valid.
Booooo, an error message!!
So to go back to an earlier question
Are there any other plugins?
The answer is yes, the CIMY User Extra Fields Plugin. Disabling this plugin now has things working. The registration process is working noticeably different without this plugin enabled. I’m only asked for a username and an email address and WP generates a random password and emails it to the account entered. This seems to be the normal way of WP and I’m fine with it.
