confirmation email

When users go to register, they then go to there email accounts to confirm registration. When they click the link, its going to a 404 error page. What can I do to correct this matter?

Errors in the server logs ?
What addons do you have ?

Check the Board URL in the ACP is correct.

The primary URL to your board. Do not include a trailing "/" or "index.php". The URL should look similar to this: http://www.example.com/forum

Is this a new problem on an established forum ?
Has this started since you are trying Wordpress ?

board URL is good to go. Also, there is no server errors. Attached is a screen of my add-ons

What is a typical URL sent via email or the URL of the 404 page?

No it isn't good to go.


I've just signed up...

I won't post your site in case confidential, but you have your board URL set as:

http://yoursite.com/community

Whereas your actual site is:

http://community.yoursite.com

Change your board URL to: http://community.yoursite.com

ok, here is a typical email registration that was sent.


Now I notice the slash at the end of community, but in ACP>Options>Board URL there is no slash. Where/how do I fix this?

I'm having the same problem. I just tried to create a dummy account and my confirmation e-mail link was:

http://fuelinjectionbible.com/forum/index.php?account-confirmation/153/email&c=xxxxxnnnnnnn

My URL in ACP is http://fuelinjectionbible.com/forum with no trailing slash.

We all make mistakes. Sometimes you are just too close to the problem to see it.
