Activation email link missing wp-activate.php

[lenasterg]

I have BP installed in a MultiSite, everything works fine But the email sent for activation to the users just contains the domain + key=
​http://mydomain/?key=f5fc9e666d18b44e&e=1
instead of
​http://mydomain/wp-activate.php?key=f5fc9e666d18b44e&e=1

The solution is
Modified bp-core-filters.php file:

$activate_url = bp_get_activation_page() . "?key=$key"; (this appears TWO TIMES)
for
$activate_url = bp_get_activation_page() . "wp-activate.php?key=$key";

as Daniel describes at http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/activation-email-link-missing-wp-activate-php/

In BP 1.5, if you have a file /registration/activate.php or /activate.php in your theme, bp_get_activation_page() returns a link to that file. If your theme doesn't, it ought to be returning a wp-activate.php URL automatically.

The only way I can see this error happening is if your theme (or parent theme) does have one of those activate.php templates, but that something internal isn't being set properly. I think this is probably the issue that we fixed in #2350, which will be in BP 1.6. lenasterg, are you adding users from a non-root dashboard?
