Hi Patrick, It’s easy for you to customize your wiki to make that field required by editing the XWiki.Registration page. Actually I’ve just checked quickly that page and I see:   ## The email address field, regex checked with an email pattern. Mandatory if registration uses email verification   #set($field =     {'name' : 'register_email',       'label' : $services.localization.render('core.register.email'),       'params' : {         'type' : 'text',         'size' : '60'       },       'validate' : {         'regex' : {           'pattern' : '/^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-zA-Z0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,})$/',           'failureMessage' : $services.localization.render('xe.admin.registration.invalidEmail')         }       }     })   #if($xwiki.getXWikiPreferenceAsInt('use_email_verification', 0) == 1)     #set($field.validate.mandatory = {'failureMessage' : $services.localization.render('core.validation.required.message')})   #end So this indicates that the mail field is actually mandatory when mail verification registration is enabled… thus it should work normally… Not sure why it doesn’t in your case. You should open a jira issue explaining how to reproduce it (your setup). Now to make the email field mandatory is simple. Change the content from above with:   #set($field =     {'name' : 'register_email',       'label' : $services.localization.render('core.register.email'),       'params' : {         'type' : 'text',         'size' : '60'       },       'validate' : {         'mandatory' : {           'failureMessage' : 'Email is mandatory'         },         'regex' : {           'pattern' : '/^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-zA-Z0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,})$/',           'failureMessage' : $services.localization.render('xe.admin.registration.invalidEmail')         }       }     }) Make sure you save with a user having programming rights.

We've received a few questions from new users trying to register for the wiki.

The registration form does not require an email to be entered in the email field. If it is not supplied, and the form submitted, the newly registered user cannot log in as they need a validation key that was emailed to them (but remember, no email entered).

Here is a demo: http://youtu.be/xk0t7Hf3rQY

Is this a local issue that I can fix in the admin panels (we do want to confirm users email), or is this an issue with the registration form itself?

Thanks, Patrick
