registration link???  that looks like the forum link…

go to forum – components – login and registration and make sure those urls are right…   you may need to go to forum – integration – page and permalink and reset the forum permalink, but check the other first if the site is working and just the email is wrong…

Thanks for the quick reply.  I checked all the settings again and they were already correct. 

During installation I got some errors about storage locations and I manually added those.  Seems like everything else is working ok — except for that link in the registration email.

the only place we set that is in that panel… see image…

do you have any other plugins that may affect registration?

Not that I’m aware of, it’s a very basic site and I didn’t even allow registration until I installed the forum.

Just found something else that’s not working.

The “Use spam tool on registration form” button is checked, but I didn’t have to do the math question when registering.

Seems like something is not saving right.

are you running multisite?  I dont see a registration page but a signup page…  unfortunately, as it stands now, the spam check is only added on standard wp registration page…

Yes, it’s multisite, so that explains the spam filter not working.

Also, you circled the login URL in your screenshot and that works fine.  It’s the forum link that’s the problem.

oh, sorry, misunderstood… 

so on forum – integration – page and permalink,  can you verify which page is selected?  is the old page in the trash or was it just renamed?  another permalnk refresh wouldnt hurt…

then on forum – options – email, did you change any settings there?

asking because you said the email contains:

Our forum:

http://lakemeadca.org/problem-with-post-edit-buttonigh-desert-forum/

but, by default, our email wouldnt look like that… its determined by that email panel settings…

so just a bit confused here…

Ok, I hadn’t seen the email option before and you’re right, it’s not at all looking like it should, comes from WP and I’ll revert to a regular installation.   With the forum, we don’t need multiple blogs and I just have to move one sub blog.

The permalink is set correctly in integration, I renamed the default “forum” page a couple times.

So I’ll get rid of multisite, hopefully tomorrow night, and that should fix the registration issues.

Thanks for your help!  I’ll let you know what happens.

please do…

I reverted to a single site and it looks like all went well with exporting the sub blog to the main site before reverting.

At first the forum came up empty, but that was fixed once I ACTIVATED the plugin (had to activate all plugins). 

Did a test registration and I got the math question, so that works now.

But it is strange that now new users get only ONE email after registering.  Is that how it’s supposed to be?  In multisite I got an email with the password, and then after logging in, got a second email with the (incorrect) link.

So is a new user only supposed to get one email?

yes, correct… one email… just telling you your account details…  by default in standard wp, registrations are not approved or anything… so just the one…

there are plugins out there for wp that all you to moderate and approve registrations if you prefer…

Ok, so that 2nd mail was sent by WP and ONLY in multisite. 

And just in case anyone has a similar problem with multisite, I installed the forum in the main site and don’t even know if it’s possibly to have it in a sub blog, but if so, it would have been much more difficult or maybe impossible to move the forum because WP only exports pages, posts, etc.

Looks like I’m good to go, thanks much for your help!

cool. thanks for the update.
