I have a site where am registering users via the front-end. I want to use email address as username and also want people to define their password on registration.

I have set the following in general.php:

'useEmailAsUsername' => true,
'autoLoginAfterAccountActivation' => true,
'activateAccountSuccessPath' => 'register/success',
'verificationCodeDuration' => 'P1W'

However, when a user registers via the front-end - or I resend the activation link via the Control Panel - they are directed to a page/URL eg actions/users/verifyemail?code=XXXX&id=XXXX and get the following error message:

Oops!

Invalid verification code. Please login or reset your password.

Can't figure out why the verification code is not working. Any suggestions?

  • Further to this - if I copy the activation link from the back-end I get a different URL: actions/users/setpassword?code=XXX&id=XXX rather than actions/users/verifyemail?code=XXXX&id=XXXX

Solved - bizarre one this. Was using a third-party email service via SMTP and it was manipulating the URL somehow. Switching to use a direct SMTP connection with a specific email account has resolved.

Go figure!
