Hi, Jason,

I just installed and tested this New User Approve plugin a few hours ago. I’m also using the BuddyPress plugin. For me, the New User Approve plugin sends an email, informing the admin to authorize, but the new registrant also gets a valid activation link without the admin authorizing first. But, as the new user, even after following the link to authorize the new registration, when trying to log in as the new user, the login fails to authenticate.

So, I peeked around in the new-user-approve.php file, and the only place I could find where the code fragment you supplied could go starts at line 450. After hacking in your code fragment, the finished function looks like this.

public function create_new_user( $user_login, $user_email, $errors ) {
		if ( $errors->get_error_code() ) {
			return;
		}

		// begin ckt  .............
		// create the user.  HACKED FOR BUDDYPRESS
		// $user_pass = wp_generate_password( 12, false );

		// reset password to know what to send the user
		$data = array(
			//'user_pass' => md5($new_pass),
			'user_activation_key' => '',
		);
		// ...........   end ckt

		$user_id = wp_create_user( $user_login, $user_pass, $user_email );
		if ( !$user_id ) {
			$errors->add( 'registerfail', sprintf( __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Couldn’t register you... please contact the <a href="mailto:%s">webmaster</a> !' ), get_option( 'admin_email' ) ) );
		}
	}

It’s too complicated to fully explain herein what the results were, different, of course, but after testing, it didn’t solve the problem. After testing failed to bring any joy, and upon further scrutinization of the new code in context, I am puzzled as to how it works/what it does, as I don’t see how the code fragment you have suggested makes us of the array “$data”. And, of course, commenting out the function call “wp_generate_password” does exactly that; no password is generated, (and no email is sent to the new registrant).

Not sure if this type of conversation is allowed in this forum. If it’s not, someone please inform me, and I will not do so again.

Yes, thanks for inquiring.

Thanks for any help you can provide. If you need any other information, I will provide it if I can.

I don’t have any idea when an update may be released.

Before I restored my website a few minutes ago from my backup, I did a little experimenting, trying various things, such as importing the saved exported data from the Virtue theme options panel. No joy. All that did was corrupt the website database so that my child-theme style.css customizations wouldn’t work properly.

Not having the time to delve into solving the problem the hard way, I took the easy way and restored from my backup to get back to a working site.

I suppose if someone hadn’t made a recent backup, they might try uninstalling the Virtue 2.1.4 theme and its plug in, and then find a v2.1.3 of Virtue/w-plugin, (probably on the Kadence web site), and reinstall them. That might restore the website, if the website database wasn’t corrupted by the v2.1.4 update. Perhaps my website database got corrupted by v2.1.4 because I didn’t try that first. Instead, I imported the previously exported theme optionsdata, which is supposed to prevent you from losing them during an update, but, well, that just made things worse in this situation.

Good luck.
