    What happens if I do NOT check the box for “Email Activation” on the “Add Membership Level” page? How does the member activate their account? This is a paid membership I am speaking of.

    If you don’t check the “Email Activation” box for a paid membership level, the plugin expects users to complete their registration after paying—but without the email link step. Here’s what happens:

    ✅ Standard Paid-Membership Flow (without Email Activation)

    1. User selects a paid level and completes payment via your “Join Us” page.
    2. Once payment is confirmed, they get a unique registration link—either on the thank-you page or sent by email.
    3. Clicking that link takes them to the registration form, where they choose a username and password to finish the process.
    4. After choosing credentials, their account is created and automatically active, ready to log in to protected content.

    📝 No email activation means they don’t need to click a confirmation link first. The plugin skips the “pending activation” step—it jumps straight to registration post-payment.

    🔒 What You’re Not Getting with Email Activation Unchecked

    • The user won’t receive an activation email and won’t have to verify their address.
    • There’s no “Activation Pending” status; the account becomes active once they finish the registration via the provided link.
    • If someone pays but doesn’t complete registration, you’re left with an account in limbo (just pending username/password setup).
