"Fix Wordpress and Buddypress sendmail problems (Sign Up Complete, activate your account via the email, but email doesn’t come)" |

![[?]](http://www.thinkplexx.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/thinkplexx/set1/QuestionX16.png)
Why doesn’t Buddypress register new users?? The first problem that I had was the sender address of my site. It should be something like admin@mysite.com, not default wordpress@example.com.
Default address got blocked sometimes…
The E-mail address can be changed in Wordpress configuration or using plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/
Second issue was with buddypress:
Sign Up Complete! You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the e-mail we have just sent to your address.
Great, but no e-mail ever come to my new users. The problem was with the sendmail server settings. You can use Configure SMTP plugin here http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configure-smtp/.
First, use the tools from your provider to setup a real e-mail account on your domain. Like admin@yoursite.com or noreply@yoursite.com.
Second, grab the Configure SMTP, then find its configuration and copy the exact data from the provider page:
- smts host;
- smts port;
- Use SMTPAuth? = yes;
- SMTP username;
- SMTP password;
- Sender e-mail = noreply@yoursite.com;
- Sender name = Automatic yoursite email delivery
One more issue you might encounter is the Unix sendmail problem. That system tool must be properly setup in order for any PHP code to be able to send mails.

Thank you so much! I looked for days for info on this before I finally thought to search for “buddypress no registration email,” and I got the answer I needed.
If you optimize your site for keywords like, Buddypress won’t register new users, etc. you mite get some more traffic.
Thanks again!

“You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.” – I was like: ehhh, yeah, sure…
even after doing these plugins it didn’t come:
allthough, this time it was just to be found in the junk e-mail folder!
Once again, THANX!

configure-mail is working with wordpress, also with wp_mail functions I used in my plugins. But not working with buddypress, like I am not getting activation email. Please help.

By “configure-mail“, you mean “configure-smtp plugin“? If you register with Wordpress registration process, you get an EMail, and with buddypress no?
In that case it would be interesting to see if
sendmailsystem program is called at all by budypress reg. process(if on unix). Can you check that?Also, following info might help :
Which version of BuddyPress, Wordpress. Do you use Unix or Windows?
