XF 2.2 Enable email confirmation option ignored.

[xml]

Email confirmation is enabled for New registration but the new registrant see this message:
" Your account is currently awaiting approval by an administrator. You will receive an email when a decision has been taken"

seems the Enable email confirmation option is ignored by Xenforo registration system. Any idea what's causing this issue?

rejection or approval emails delivered with no problem. its just the "Enable email confirmation" option acting as if its unchecked.

Pretty sure that's your issue... either use manual approval or email.. not both.

There is no conflict using both, been using both for years and the issue just happen lately

" Your account is currently awaiting approval by an administrator. You will receive an email when a decision has been taken"

In the ACP approve the registration and it will be complete.

If I do that I will never know if the registrant email is fake or real, that's the purpose of "Enable email confirmation" option.

Did you check if the user triggered the spam filter?
In this case a registration might end up in approval queue directly.

You got it right. The test registrant was rejected multiple times before and was using the same IP address for every new registration. Once used different IP address The confirmation email functioned as required.

Thank God for this thread, this was doing my head in. To anyone experiencing this. If you're testing user registration, Xenforo won't resend an activation email to an IP address that has had a banned user on it. It'll just skip the activation email stage.

I used my phone's hotspot to get around it. Could do with something about this in the backend. Wasted 90 mins and chatGPT sent me round in circles.
