   Hi everyone,

   Please forgive my ignorance, I am sure this is a straight forward thing, but I am new to Wordpress!

   I just installed it today on a subdomain on my server, and the admin part runs well. However, I have created a control acount through which to test the user options, and desite creating it a few hours ago, I still have not received a confirmation email with a password.

   Do I have to change some settings?

   Please make your replies 'idiot-proof'; I am blundering through this php stuff here!!

   Thanks
   Mrs P

   Are you running your own server or are you on a hosting account? It may be that your server is not set up to allow PHP -- and therefore, WordPress -- to send email.

   Did you receive an email when you first set up WordPress?

   It's hosted.

   I have gotten around it by unchecking the box for admin activation; they now user activate with an email link only.

   Thanks for your reply!
