I have the same problem too.
New registrations do not receive an email but admin does and the user is actually registered in the database.
If I use the ‘forgotten password’ then I DO get an email with a new password (!!) so it’s very frustrating.
Seems enough people are experiencing this problem for WP guys to get onto it but it seems months have gone by with no solution. Apart from this Wp is perfect for my needs but this one bug renders it USELESS.
I tried bukkies fix above but I’m afraid it didn’t work for me.
Hi nocomp
I’m having exactly the same problems as you and I found several posts that suggest some people have had this problem for months.
I get an admin email to wordpress@mydomain.com too (not my registered email)
You say this is your 4th installation. Did you have the same problem with the other three??
When I use the ‘forgotten password’ reminder I DO get an email with the new password in it!
I hope we can sort this out as otherwise WP is perfect for my needs.
Regards
steve
