User Registration - Activation Link produces input field

    Hey Guys. I made a usability test with almost 30 people last week. Only one had a "problem" with the activation link.

    After she clicked on the activation link, she wasn't redirected to the confirmation site. She was redirected to a site where she had to ENTER the key. Take a look at this picture:

    FYI: I just "rebuild" the case, it's not an original screenshot.

    Anyone else with this problem? It was an iMac with Safari.

    Apparently this is not a worst case scenario, but maybe it's an fallback from the developers or something else?

    We use:
    Gravity Forms - 1.6.12
    User Registration Add-on - 1.5.beta1.11
    WordPress 3.4.2.

    Thanks in advance!

    Can you update to the latest Gravity Forms and User Registration add-on please, as this bug might have already been taken care of.

    Hey David. Thanks for your Reply.
    I can't update update right now because it's such a huge project.

    I figured it out someway. At least i could reproduce it.

    Apparently it is a fallback:
    Take a look at the "activate.php" file in plugins/gravityformsuserregistration/includes/. (In my case it's even in my theme file as well)

    There is an if-statement
    <?php if ( empty($_GET['key']) && empty($_POST['key']) ) { ?> ...
    and that statement checks if an key is submitted with the url.
    I tested it with an url like this: http://www.example.com//?page=gf_activation&key=
    So apparently there is no key. This could easily happen when some makes a wrong copy&paste or something like that!

    I don't know why this happend in a new Safari Browser.
    Anyway, feel free to close this thread!

    cheers

    I knew it was a fallback, but I was surprised that it was happening for you at all. I figured something must have stripped the key... I hope it doesn't happen to you again. I also think you should find ways to upgrade and stay recent with your versions. All my best!
