Registration not working 2.0.18

[lather]

I have had no new registrations since upgrading to 2.0.18. I tried several test registrations and I get kicked back to the registration agreement page.

[shadav]

any errors in your logs?

[lather]

Just 18 errors, all are for password incorrect for existing users.

[shadav]

any mods installed like stop spammers and ect? or email inactive users?

Maybe you are hitting one of their fields?

No database or critical errors in your logs?

Also - check the apache log, not just the smf error log.

Stop Forum Spam mod is installed but is not generating the errors it was before I upgraded. I will try to find the Apache error log.
The Apache error log has many errors dated todau mostly:
AHO01797: client denied by server configuration: /home/ridemsta1/public_html/index.php but NONE are from my PC's IP address.
In Registration settings I unclick "Enable Stop Forum Spam" and tried a test registration, same result.

I am able to register a new user using the admin registration but trying to register as a guest still fails even after  I changed the setting to imediate.

Uninstall the mod.

[lather]

Thanks for the suggestion. I am getting two errors when I try to uninstall Stop Forum Spam, ManageRegistration and Who.template
Not sure how to manually edit ManageRegistration.
My file has some additional lines in the  $config_vars = array(  code.
  I think I need to delete:
                        array('check', 'sfs_enabled', 'subtext' => $txt['setting_sfs_enabled_desc']),
         array('check', 'sfs_ipcheck', 'subtext' => $txt['setting_sfs_ipcheck_desc']),
         array('check', 'sfs_usernamecheck', 'subtext' => $txt['setting_sfs_usernamecheck_desc']),

but not sure about the '', just above it.

2.0.18 core code looks like this -

Code Select Expand



$config_vars = array(
array('select', 'registration_method', array($txt['setting_registration_standard'], $txt['setting_registration_activate'], $txt['setting_registration_approval'], $txt['setting_registration_disabled'])),
array('check', 'enableOpenID'),
array('check', 'notify_new_registration'),
array('check', 'send_welcomeEmail'),
'',
array('check', 'requireAgreement', 'text_label' => $txt['admin_agreement'], 'value' => !empty($modSettings['force_gdpr']) ? 1 : $modSettings['requireAgreement'], 'disabled' => !empty($modSettings['force_gdpr'])),
array('warning', empty($agreement) ? 'error_no_agreement' : ''),
array('check', 'requirePolicyAgreement', 'text_label' => $txt['admin_privacy_policy'], 'value' => !empty($modSettings['force_gdpr']) ? 1 : $modSettings['requirePolicyAgreement'], 'disabled' => !empty($modSettings['force_gdpr'])),
array('warning', empty($policy) ? 'error_no_privacy_policy' : ''),
'',
array('int', 'coppaAge', 'subtext' => $txt['setting_coppaAge_desc'], 'onchange' => 'checkCoppa();'),
array('select', 'coppaType', array($txt['setting_coppaType_reject'], $txt['setting_coppaType_approval']), 'onchange' => 'checkCoppa();'),
array('large_text', 'coppaPost', 'subtext' => $txt['setting_coppaPost_desc']),
array('text', 'coppaFax'),
array('text', 'coppaPhone'),
'',
array('check', 'announcements_default', 'disabled' => empty($modSettings['allow_disableAnnounce']) || !empty($modSettings['force_gdpr']), 'value' => !empty($modSettings['force_gdpr']) ? 0 : (empty($modSettings['allow_disableAnnounce']) ? 1 : !empty($modSettings['announcements_default']))),
);



Backup file before editing.

Thanks

OK, so I uninstalled Stop Forum Spam but registration is still not working, clicking register just send me back to the registration agreement.
I am thinking I need to uninstall 2.0.18 uninstall all mods, re run the .18 upgrade and re-install mods.

[shadav]

strange that there are no errors in your logs

what all mods do you have installed?

Are you sure that registration was working before you upgraded?

[lather]

I can't be certain when the self registration stopped because I manually register members who become paid members of our club but I know we had a self registration on 1-27-21 when we were at .17

from that list, I'm going to guess it's the tapatalk mod causing issues

[lather]

I was thinking the same thing. That last registration I mentioned was a spammer and he bypassed the admin approval by using tapatalk. I asked for help on that here and someone suggested disabling in app registration which I did.

[Kindred]

apparently, you disabled all registration.


Seriously, Tapatalk causes far more problems than it solves, IMNSHO

It could be useful to try to uninstall 2.0.18 and see if it works again on 2.0.17. If it does, double and triple check whether the patch is applied successfully by clicking on each test in package manager.

I have, on separate forums unfortunately, both Tapatalk and SFS mods working fine on their own with 2.0.18 and not blocking registration. I do not have the combination of the two I'm afraid.

[lather]

I appreciate the support. I am no fan of tapatalk,  unfortunately two of our club officers love it.
If I resort to installing .18 is there anything I need to know?

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

It should just work fine... It would be best to try and understand the problem, or at least why it's happening

I am no fan of Tapatalk either, don't get me wrong But latest release fixed a whole bunch of issues it had.
