#4230 closed defect (bug) (no action required)

Please provide a valid activation key.

Description

After making a user, receiving the activation email, clicking on the link and getting a successful activation, the user is asked for his login and password.

When the login and passwd are entered, login is done but is taking the user to the activation link asking for a valid activation key.

Looks like something is broken and is not taking the user to the main page instead.

How can I fix this?

Regards!

Btw, Im using the lattest version of both WP and buddyPRess

Do you have an example of an activation key link that isn't working?

  • Keywords reporter-feedback removed
  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 1.7

This continues to be an ongoing issue in 1.7. I've seen it occur on other sites, but never been able to recreate it on a local dev install. I thought it might have been an issue with a weird character in the key, but that doesn't appear to be the safe. For what it's worth, here are links from activation emails from a site that has this problem:

.com/activate/?key=2b564f053a3868acdf64f8d8f94550bb
.com/activate/?key=d9449df23b47c4f5b3a4ce93c8475ce4
.com/activate/?key=9ab035b4ef8e979de58e7ab5442a5e48
.com/activate/?key=6e492d8fda4c26c1cc5e30185c60daf2
.com/activate/?key=129886c3bc2b178d3cf981abc56324a9

The browser appears to be redirected away from /activate/ back to the home page.

Hey.

We have a member on WPMU DEV reporting the same issue. I tested and could recreate.

Wasn't able to see the exact issue just yet though. Paul if you want to take a look at a setup with this issue then please let me know.

One person on the forums found this was a problem with the lighttpd server, and it not passing $_GET parameters due to configuration. If anyone following this ticket can recreate the problem, please let us know your web server
