Free member – Prompt to Complete Registration issue.

[ajay]

Hi, I have setup free membership and set ‘Default Account Status’ = Pending but when any user register to the website they don’t get ‘Complete your registration’ email instead they get ‘Your registration is complete’ email with Username and Password. Still the status of that user is ‘Pending’.

Can you please advise what setting require to allow me to verify email before activation of account.

since you set default account status to “pending”, the account status will be pending. once you change status to active, user should be able to login using the user/pass sent in the email. you can customize the email template to make it more meaningful (Settings->Email Settings)

Hi,

Thanks for you reply.

Actually i don’t want too dummy/spam account in my membership website, so once user register to the website they should get an email with activation link and once they will click on that link system will verify email address and activate that user.. Is this something like can be done with this plugin?

when a user has just registered but didn’t verify email address, you need some place to store the user info. you may consider a temporary table to store that data time to time. you can achieve the same goal without a temporary table too. you may write a cron script (if you are a programmer) that will run once everyday and delete accounts that are pending and older than a month or so. we currently don’t have this script. we will consider adding this feature later.
