I have created a new account and attempted to verify the account by clicking the activation link in the verification email. On doing so I get the following error.

Bad Request
Param “id” doesn’t exist.

Any ideas how I can resolve this issue.

I am running the latest version of Craft.

I have replicated the issue locally and on our staging server.

Thanks in advance

  • What is the URL in the browser when you click the link?

  • it looks like this: "/actions/users/setpassword?code=9a46516c-738c-40a7-974d-864d2d1093d6&id=ace5eb07-f6e9-461c-9f2a-df6859197b31"

  • Is that an actual garbled character in the URL or did it just copy/paste wrong? 0‌​

  • Maybe some .htaccess rewrite rule is dropping querystring params?

I don't recall the specific version/build and my search-fu is weak today, but this was a bug in Craft that should have been fixed in a semi-recent build. Try updating to the latest and see if you still have the issue.

Update:

Every time we've been able to investigate this issue so far, it has been because of either .htaccess stripping querystring params behind the scenes (i.e. no [QSA] flag on the rewrite rule), or the equivalent in nginx-land.

  • If this is on a public box and you want to send some CP/FTP credentials over to [email protected], we can further look into it and I'll update here with the results.

  • changing RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L] to RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L,QSA] fixes this.... thanks

  • I have the [QSA] flag set. But it still gives the id error
