Integration of eStore and eMember – Unique registration link not working

[ucomeau]

Hi! I’ve searched the forum high and low and can’t find the answer…

I’m trying to help a client set up a membership site. It has different levels, with autoupgrades (6 months worth of levels in order to drip content).

I’ve set up all the pages, including the registration page on the Page Settings are of the eMember plugin, and am currently using PayPal Sandbox to test functionality.

Everything has worked fine so far, up until the email the customer gets with the unique link to register. After processing the payment, I see in the dashboard that the system did create a member (with ID 5 in this case), but the member does not yet have a username and password, which will be created by the user by following the below link:

http://www.singingmastermind.com/registration/?member_id=5&code=b4156fc11200bf745c5b67f7933d0936

However, when following this link, the site seems to redirect to the main registration URL:

http://www.singingmastermind.com/registration/

What am I missing? I’ve been through all the tutorials and have spent hours on the forum… I found one thread that mentioned .htaccess permission issues… the only thing on the .htaccess file for this site is:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Help?

This could be the work of a plugin. Please do this test to identify it:

I should’ve thought of that – WordPress troubleshooting step #1: disable all plugins – lol!

It was the WordPress SEO (by Yoast) plugin that was causing the issue – there’s a permalinks setting in it that can be enabled/disabled – if enabled, it will redirect “ugly” URLs to clean permalinks. As soon as I disabled the setting, all was good!

Thanks for the help!
