Upon registration, your new users will receive a welcome email where they will be provided with a validation link for their profile on your website. To validate their accounts they should simply click on the link. In case that they have not received the message or they have used an invalid email you can still validate these users or resend them the welcome email. In this tutorial we are going to show you how to do this. First, login to your site admin using:
https://yourdomain.com/admin
If you have installed Elgg in a subfolder for example a folder called “elgg”, use:
https://yourdomain.com/elgg/admin/
On the right side menu click on “Users” and select “Unvalidated”
You will see a list of unvalidated users:
On this page you have the following options for each user:
Resend validation – resend the email so the user can validate his/her account
Validate – if you know and trust this user, you can directly validate him/her
Delete – if you think this is a spam registration you can delete the user
