I have this scenario. I want to disable the email activation in discourse because I am using Wordpress for SSO (single-sign-in) so now the users have to validate twice, and that is poor customer experience. How can I remove the **activate** email requirement in discourse?

Also, @itsbhanusharma I have noticed that you have responded to multiple threads regarding SSO loops and maybe you are familiar with a solution to my issue here?

Help from anyone is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.

NOTE:  
Just two clarify to other users that may be looking at this, please make sure you are following proper security protocols to avoid making your site vulnerable. The only reason I am doing this is because I have SSO activated through Wordpress and Wordpress is doing the email verification in addition to that I also disabled public registrations meaning that the only way to create an account is through Wordpress.

the setting is **by invite only**. See below:
