# Activate page error

 * When someone registers with my WordPress website they get an email asking them
   to click the link for verification as is normal with just about everything else.
   However, when they click that link it shows up a page saying this:
 * Activate Your Account
 * Invalid activation key.
 * Please provide a valid activation key.
 * Activation Key:
 * Now if the user tries to log in they generally can but is there any way of getting
   rid of this message about activation key as it scares everyone off the website
   and they email me all day saying there is a problem. My website is [http://www.norfolkbroadsforum.co.uk](http://www.norfolkbroadsforum.co.uk).
   It is essential that I get this error sorted. Thanks for any help as much appreciated.
   
   I am not 1000% sure of the WP version as I just downloaded it this week and am
   learning.

 * Have you tried:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this
   resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate
   them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s). – switching
   to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Seventeen.) for a moment using the WP dashboard
   to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
