Error 403 When Clicking Verify Link on Email

If you go to mo-cda.org/beta/membership-application and register you will receive the verification email with a link to click. When the link is clicked you get an error 403. Also if the admin publish the subscriber why does it not enable the user account automatically? I am using Joomla 3.1.5

Thank you in advance.

Hi Michael

Maybe the reason is because you have user registration disabled on your site ? Could you please go to Users -> Users Manager, click on the Options button in the toolbar, set Allow User Registration to Yes ? After that, please try everything again !

Okay I think that could do it however how do I prevent the register link from displaying under the login form? Sorry but thank you for all of this.

You can go to Extensions -> Plugins manager , find and publish the Registration Redirect plugin. The registration link will still be displayed in the module but when users click on it, they will be redirected to the Membership Plans page to choose a plan to subscribe !

Tuan you are awesome my friend. This worked just fine and the redirect did just what I wanted. Now the final question so I can take this site live. It had automatically enabled the new account even though it is still listed as pending in the subscription listing. Can this be disabled until they pay and either Paypal indicates it or the admin manually does so? Then when the subscription is published the user account should (i hope) automatically be enabled?

Hi Michael

Really sorry. I thought I replied you before, seems the post was not submitted for some reason.

For this requirement, I think you should use the instructions below :

1. Go to Membership Pro -> Configuration, find the config option "Send activation email", set it to No.

2. Go to Extensions -> Plugins Manager, find and make sure you publish the OS Membership -> Users plugin.

By doing that, the users account will be remain as Pending until you changed the subscription status to Active. Or if he uses online payment method such as Paypal, his account will be activated automatically when he completes payment.

This doesn't work. There is a type in the activation email link and this is what is causing the problem:

should be:

Just a thought...

Tuan I too am sorry for the late reply. I thought you got tired of me bugging you and let me go. Later I saw you had replied but I just did not have a chance to follow-up. I just did what you suggested and I happy to say things are looking much better. Thank you for this my friend and I hope you have a Happy New Year and I will forward to us working together in the coming year.

Thanks Mike for confirming. Happy new year !
