Since upgrading to wordpress 4.4 and the latest simplepress version my problem of wordpress not sending new member emails has been solved. But plain text email is being sent that pasting url in browser brings up a password reset prompt.

Thinking I have the wrong url in my new user email settings. What should be entered In the new user email config? 

Once again, thanks for all your help. 

BTW your support site works perfect on my Samsung GS5 smartphone.

sorry, what do you want?  its not possible to display the username and password in the email now… wp has removed it in the name of security… and we concur, so we dont go around them and try to force…

what url do you have? you should be using %PWURL%

Got that fixed, thanks. 

A possible bug. When deleting my test registration user (subscriber) get a warning saying I am deleting an sp admin. Which is a false warning.

When configuring components > login and registration > i had previously blanked out the links. But when clicking update settings, sp generates this code that might not be correct.

Users can register for the board, but i get an email saying that new member changed their password (maybe not that exact message but similar.)

sorry, why would you use that url there???   you just want http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=login

It was said somewhere that those redirect urls were not needed. Clearing out the fields and submitting changes auto generates what is showing, that’s why I questioned if it was correct.

well, in the email for login, you actually put a logout url…

That’s what I have been saying, I didn’t put it there. Clearing out the field to have nothing and submitting changes puts it in there. It’s being auto generated somehow.

OK will put the login url in there. But isn’t it supposed to give the user a link to set their password?

sorry?  why would a login url give you a url to set password??  what are you trying to do?

you set what you want to be in your new users email on forum – options – email settings… if you want a login url, use %LOGINURL% as a placeholder…  if you want a password display url, use %PWURL% as a placeholder…  the admin help on that panel details the possible placeholders… if you use the login url placeholder, you get the login url from the forum – components – login and registration panel that we have just been talking about…
