I am giving another test to Toolset to see if it has improved its membership management.
It is supposed that with Toolset I can create web for member management.
How to implement email verification (an activation link in an email) in user registration?
I've searched for all the options and have not seen a way to do it.
Any member management plugin has this functionality.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Francisco R.

Hi Francisco

The Toolset user registration workflow doesn't explicitly include email verification, but you can achieve something similar by letting users register with an auto-generated password (meaning they do not know it) and then sending a notification email with their password (meaning that the email address is correct), or if you prefer not to send the password send a link to a page with a forgot password form that sends a reset password link to the email address.

You can read about notifications here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-user-forms-email-notifications/

The lost password form is generated by the wpv-forgot-password-form shortcode described here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-user-forms-email-notifications/

If you want to see what changes have been introduced in Toolset recently, some of the bigger new features are described on our blog at https://toolset.com/blog/ while the changelogs of individual plugins visible on your downloads page describe the detailed changes.

Thanks Nigel for your information.
But, Do not plan to include this functionality?

[Nigel]

Checking I see that we already have a feature request created recently for this.

It doesn't appear that work has been started on it, but it has been accepted. I can't give you an estimate of when it will be added, I'm afraid.

[Francisco Ramón Molina Busquiel]

I have seen many messages about it. For many years this functionality has been called for. Now it is firm or is it simply to keep making time?
Can you check with your developers?
Thanks for your help.

It is in our internal development ticketing system rather than just in our log of feature requests, but I have asked for it to be mentioned at the developer meeting in the morning.

I'll let you know what the feedback is.

[Francisco Ramón Molina Busquiel]

Thanks Nigel. I wait your answer.

Hi Francisco

The feedback confirmed that the feature is an accepted request, but the current developer focus is on completing the new post relationships features of Types and updating Views and CRED accordingly. Apart from ongoing work improving theme compatibility and some soon-to-be-released major updates such as those to Maps, updates in upcoming months will likely be for bug fixes. Other feature requests in general won't get much attention until after this work is complete.

In the meantime you will need to use it in the way I described above.

We have a large team busy working on improving Toolset, and I hope you can appreciate they need to prioritise their efforts.

It is a pity that after so many years asking you for this functionality you have not yet realized it. 🙁

[Nigel]

On a project the size of Toolset it will never be possible to add every feature that everyone wants and the developers and management make decisions about what to prioritise. There have been some major updates to Toolset in the past year and new features which will be released soon.

Well I do not understand anything, any memberships plugin of the market has that functionality. This is a basic feature. I do not understand why it has not been developed since the beginning of the development of Toolset. Is incredible. 🙁

Hello, Nigel is on holiday and will not be returning for a few days, so I will take over this ticket. I hope that's okay.

This is a basic feature. I do not understand why it has not been developed since the beginning of the development of Toolset.
The reason is that WordPress User registration does not include email verification, so User registration with CRED does not include it either. If you search the internet for WordPress registration email verification, you'll see that there are several plugins out there that provide this feature, because it's not built-in to WordPress.

Toolset was not designed to be a membership management system from the beginning. Toolset implements, and integrates with, the User Registration system that is native to WordPress. Since there is currently no email verification built in to WordPress registration, our system inherits that lack of email verification. The feature request on file will add the additional features required to implement this improvement over WordPress traditional registration systems. I understand the frustration with the delay in implementation of this new feature, so I will make sure our team is fully aware of your dissatisfaction in the lack of progress.

[Francisco Ramón Molina Busquiel]

Thanks for your explanation. However, Toolset is not a recent product and this functionality is already present in any plugin in the market that supports user registration, so feeling like it seems that the developers of Toolset live in a parallel world. Maybe they're in 'matrix'. 😉

[Christian Cox]

I've passed your information along, and we have a feature request in place. You may close this ticket now, and I will update you when I have additional information to share.

[Francisco Ramón Molina Busquiel]

Ok. Thanks.
