Hello,
I've been having some issues with user verifications leading them to a 404 page. I have done some investigation and here is what I have found so far.

/var/logs/apache2/access.log
0.0.0.0 - - [18/Jan/2022:21:40:16 -0500] "GET /user/activate/4/v3rIFyc0de HTTP/1.1" 410 6337 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/97.0.4692.71 Safari/537.36"

This let to a 404 (410 in apache2) every time. So, I tried a different ID and code and it redirected as follows:
https:// domain.tld /user/activate/2/rand0mc0d3 =>
https:// domain.tld /for-sale/category/2/post-title

So from that I saw that it's mistaking the user ID for the posting ID.

In MySQL I got:
mysql> select * from oc_t_preference;
...
s:32:"^user/activate/([0-9]+)/(.*?)/?$";
s:53:"index.php?page=register&action=validate&id=$1&code=$2";
...

So, the code is there and verified working correctly, and all other permalinks are functioning correctly and to my knowledge. Where do I look now?

Thanks

When you look on URL:
/user/activate/4/v3rIFyc0de

---> 4: user id (oc_t_user.pk_i_id)
---> v3rIFyc0de: secret code for that user (oc_t_user.s_secret)

Yes, I understand. The problem is that it keeps thinking that’s a listing and redirects me to the post instead of user activation. And since there’s no listing 4, it returns with a 404.

I though you are talking about user a tivation, not listing activation

It is user activation, but OsClass is redirecting incorrectly.

Let me test it

Its at https://plushy.fun

Update:

I've created more listings and now every time I go to verify a user, OsClass takes the user id and redirects the browser to an item listed at that id.

Thanks

I could not reproduce that.
only issue found is, that when you are logged in and click on validation link, it does nothing (make sense).
what comes to my mind is if you did not played with permalink setting and created some ambiguity there.

I disabled users must verify so that people can use the site

Any update? I need user verification working asap.

Bug that cannot be reproduced == no bug.
It can be issue of your configuration, server, ...

i have the same issue ...
404 OOPS! Page Not Found!

Try to disable/reenable friendly urls.
Try to go to permalink settings and simply re-save rules.

i have just done.,
the same error...
