   Hello,

   I'd like to know how I can skip the activation process for newly signed up users. I'm making a shopping site with Wordpress MU and I want users to be able to sign up without having to activate their account through the emailed link first.

   Regards,
   Pierre Minik

   So I found this plugin: http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/remove-email-verification-from-signup/installation but you have to pay for membership of that site to be able to download it.

   Can't afford that. :-S
   There must be someone that knows a way to skip the activation process? Currently reading through plugin API but I'm no good coder.

   Found another plugin which works with Buddypress: http://www.thinkinginwordpress.com/2009/10/autoactivate-users-and-blogs-at-buddypress-signup/.

   Hello guys, after all me and my friend did some tweaking and now by changing wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php you can bypass the email activation link!

   Edit wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php
   Go find the definition of this function: wpmu_signup_user_notification()

   In the last line when it calls wp_mail() function to send the activation email to the user, comment it and write this:

   # Redirecting to key activation page, no need for the user to check his/her email!
   
   	# We don't need this line! It'll mail the user ;)
   	//wp_mail($user_email, $subject, $message, $message_headers);
   
   	?>
       <h1 style='color: white;'>Please wait to generate your password!</h1>
       <br />
       <h3 style='color: red;'>Don't forget to change password after first login</h3>
       <br />
       <script type="text/javascript">
   	window.location = "http://<?php print $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];?>/wp-activate.php?key=<?php print $key; ?>";
   	</script>
       <?php
   	return true;

   This is very easy guys. The user gets redirected to the activation page right after hitting the signup key. It's not such a nice tweak since you need to have Javascript enabled, but we all sort of have it in our browsers, don't we?!
