I have a website which allows user registration, but there is a problem when new users register and try to log in for the first time:
- User registers and chooses a password.
- User verifies his/her e-mail adress
- I (admin) recieve an e-mail that I need to approve the user (this is the setting I use). I approve the user.
- The user receives an e-mail that he/she is now approved.
- User tries to log in, but this fails. I don't know the error message, but I think its something like "Wrong user name or password".
- I check User Manager in Joomla Backend, and the user is enabled and activated. Still, the user cannot login.
- Only after I manually enter a new password for the user in Joomla Backend, the user is able to login. But I don't want to do this for each new user of course...
I have looked all over the joomla forums and the internet, I can't find a solution, and it is crucial
After long LONG searches found the solution here
in the file plugins/user/joomla/joomla.php you need to change line 505 from
to
