After trying everything I can think of, and you guys were able to tell me, I give up! My new members are not getting registration/password emails. I know wpforo only uses a form that passes the info over to WP, but I still don't understand how WP sends every other wpforo email out but this one.

As a result, I have added this text to the top of my forum page: (see https://fiddlingforolderfolks.com/community/)

NOTICE: If you register and do not receive an email confirmation with a link to set your
password, Contact me with your User Name, and I will send you a temporary password.

I would really like to have it added to the Registration Form. (See attachment)

I looked in Plugins > Plugin Editor > wpforo > wpf themes > classic , but am not sure where to place this text. Does it go in the register.php file? I was somewhat reluctant to place it there since it is a .php file. Also, I wasn't sure where to even place it in that file if I tried. (I could experiment with the placement, but I don't want any further problems if this text should not be placed in the register.php file, so I thought it best to ask first.)

Any help/guidance you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Jim

 
EDIT: And/or is there a way to have it so the new registrant can choose their password on the registration form, thus negating the need for the confirmation/password email? (My forum is only part of my WP site, and I have no other registration requirements on my site except for the forum.) Thanks.

What the smtp plugin logs tell you? IS the email sent (delivered) or not?

Also enable debug.log and check if empty.

Pardon my ignorance here, "smtp plugin logs" where do I find these? Where do I find "debug.log"?

Install this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-smtp/

and you will have all the email transcations logs for OUTGOING email. So you will know what happened. Delivered or not. And you can fix the whatever problem as a next step. Otherwise you can't tell.

"Untested with your version of WordPress"

I installed it anyway, but I have no idea how to set it up.
