I maintain a wordpress site using the wpdiscourse plugin. Once you create a user in wordpress, go back and edit the user. There is a checkbox with the header “Email Address Verified” and a caption _Marking the user’s email as verified will allow them to bypass email authentication on Discourse._ After clicking on this checkbox, our login issues for new users disappeared.

We are using the [discourse.org](http://discourse.org) hosting option. If you look at the Enable [Discourse Connect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) setting in the Discourse admin panel, it says “Enable sign on via [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) (formerly ‘[Discourse SSO](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true)’) ( **WARNING: USERS’ EMAIL ADDRESSES _MUST_ BE VALIDATED BY THE EXTERNAL SITE!** )” I believe the warning is referring to the checkbox referenced above.

Hope this helps.
