Well, it’s technically not fixed, but I have a workaround.
I have no idea why the e-mails aren’t being automagically sent when someone registers for the blog. I can’t find a single thing that should be stopping it. So rather than waste too much time digging into things I don’t fully understand, I figured I’d just change things up.
Now when you register you choose your password as well. Nice and simple. Make sure you pick something you’ll remember because you can’t change it. (actually you can, but then the automail still won’t send and things get ugly)
Not perfect, but workable. So those of you having issues (and there were a few), try to register again.
