I’m having the same problem. Registered users show up in admin but they never receive an email.
Ideally, I would like to be able to allow them to get their password on the site, without having to give their email addresses. I’m thinking about their security more than the blog’s. I would prefer to have an open forum without a lot of hassles for the user. (Perhaps WordPress isn’t the correct software for what I’m looking for — any suggestions?)
Meanwhile – I need to know how to get the blog working in the first place.
Thank you for any help. I hosted the site on BlueHost, they can’t give me any WordPress support. And WordPress won’t support it unless they host the blog site. It seems like a simple fix. Please help.
