Hello, I have a Joomla template, and I have just tried to test the registration form.
I enter in all the details, name, email address, password etc and click Submit.
It has a message saying that an email with an activation link will be sent to you.
I have been checking my inbox, but have not recieved any email with an activation link.

How do I get this to work correctly? :-[

Make sure you set and use the proper email routines. I had the same problem, and I only use joomla locally, but, it fixed when I used the SMTP and filled in the correct host user and password info. The only other problem I had to resolve, because this is used primarily as an intranet, was allowing Joomla through my firewall.

Do searches on Joomla.org’s Forum and you can find answers to just about anything.

FYI: You can swith it so that there is no need to send the email for registration in the Global Config, but it isn’t advisable. 😮
