403 Forbidden error was created by Philip Holmes
I have read the previous posts about the same issue, but none of the solutions resolve my issue.

In User Options I have the following :

Allow User Registration: Yes
New Registration Group: Subscription (set up as per the documentation, with Registered as parent)
Guest User Group: Guest
Send Password: No (I want the user to get an email to confirm their email address, but not send the password)

When a user completes the subscription form, the new Joomla User is created, with the email as username, this seems to work fine. For the new User the Enabled and Activated are both red X, activate I understand as they have not activated via the email, not sure if Enabled setting is correct. (even if I unblock it, email link does not work)

Thanks

Hello

There are some problems with User Options you configured:

- New Registration Group: Should be Registered instead of Subscription. We need to do that to avoid users registered via Joomla (or added by other extensions via Joomla API) will be assigned to Subscriptions user group. To assign subscribers to subscriptions group, you need to use Joomla group plugin in Membership Pro. See membershipprodoc.joomservices.com/joomla-groups-integration

- There is a parameter called New User Account Activation, you should set to Self instead of Administrator

Then you can go to Membership Pro -> Configuration:

- Set Only create user account when membership active/approved to Yes
- Set Send activation email to No

By doing that, when users subscribe to your plans and make payment, their account will be created and enabled automatically. No activation is needed (they made payment, so we can trust that they are real users). I believe that's the best setup
