Hi,

I know I am not owed anything on this forum, but I am frustrated. I have spent the last couple days installing both versions of bbpress and configuring it to fit my site…only to find that users cannot register?!

In both versions 1.0 and 0.9, emails do not get back to those who registered, thus denying them passwords.

I tried the “instant password” plugin…but it doesn’t work for version 1.0 or 0.9.

My problem is hardly idiosyncratic. It is very basic and universal: how do I get my users to register??

Thanks for listening. I do hope someone can lend a hand here.

Instant Password definitely works in 0.9. I have it installed on 12 separate 0.9 installs.

But until you can hire someone to upgrade Instant Password to work in 1.0, your best bet is probably making sure that your server is configured to be able to send email.

If your server isn’t sending out email, you could also install this plugin… to give bbPress access to an SMTP mailer:

John,

Thanks so much for this post. I checked back too late though and hired someone to code instant password for me in 1.0. He did a nice job.

If anyone wants the files, I’d be happy to share, since people (like John) have been very kind to me here. Contact me at rlebowitzAT yahoo.com.
