I have a WP 3.3 installed and running great. My client would like to confirm a valid email address by sending the user a confirmation email containing a link to “confirm”. I have played around with Pie Register a little bit but cannot get it to send emails like it says it can.
Are there other plugins or tools out there capable of the same thing? I don’t think its a huge deal but the client won’t budge on it.
Also the site sends other emails just fine.
ideas?
This plugin does exactly what you need – Pie Register
From WordPress.org Plugin Directory:
Email Validation Hate fake emails? Make sure your users are not
registering with invalid email accounts by forcing them to click a
validation link that’s sent out with their registration email. This
sets there username to a random generated string (something like:
‘unverified__h439herld3’) so they can’t login until they hit that
validation link which will put their real username back in place
allowing them to login as per usual. Unverified registrations have a
defined grace period that will automatically delete an unverified
account after a specified period of time, so you don’t get clogged up
with those fakies. (Manage under Users > Unverified Users)
