Got an email from us asking you to confirm your account? Takes like 30 seconds.
Quick version: Check your inbox for our verification email, click the link inside, and you’re done. Your account activates immediately.
Email confirmation proves you own the address you signed up with. We’re not trying to be annoying—this stops spammers and bots from creating fake accounts. Plus, it means you’ll actually get password resets and important notifications if you ever need them.
What You’ll Need
- Access to the email address you used during signup
- About 2 minutes (most of that’s waiting for the email to arrive)
- Your verification email from Badass Network (check your inbox and spam folder)
Finding Your Verification Email
After you sign up, we send a verification email within 1-2 minutes. Usually hits your inbox pretty fast, though email delivery can be weird sometimes.
Open Your Email Inbox
Use whatever app or website you normally check email with—Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, whatever.
Look for an Email from Badass Network
The subject line says something like “Confirm your Badass Network account” or “Verify your email address.”
Don’t See It? Check Spam
Check your spam folder. Seriously. Email providers get overzealous sometimes and flag automated emails as junk. It’s sitting there about 40% of the time when people say they didn’t receive it.
Clicking the Verification Link
Found the email? Great. Let’s finish this.
Open the Verification Email
Click it to read the full message. You’ll see a welcome message explaining what this email’s for, plus a big verification button or link. Might also include your username as a reminder.
Click the Verification Button
It usually says “Verify Email Address” or “Confirm My Account.”
This opens your web browser and takes you to a Badass Network confirmation page. The link handles everything automatically—you don’t need to enter passwords or usernames.
Wait for Confirmation
Your browser loads a page confirming your account’s now verified. Usually says something like “Success! Your account is active” or “Email confirmed—you’re all set.”
Done. Your account’s verified. You can log in whenever you’re ready.
What Happens After Verification
Once you confirm your email, a few things change:
- Your account activates. You can now log into your dashboard at
badassnetwork.com/yourblog/wp-adminand start creating content. - You’ll receive notifications. We can now send you password resets, comment notifications, and updates about your blog. You won’t miss important stuff.
- Your blog goes fully live. Some features might’ve been limited until verification. Now everything’s available—posts, pages, customization, the whole deal.
If You Didn’t Get the Verification Email
Alright, so you signed up but no email showed up. Happens more than you’d think. Here’s what to check.
Wait 5-10 Minutes First
Email delivery isn’t always instant. Give it a few minutes before panicking. I know it feels long, but sometimes servers are slow.
Check Spam/Junk Folders Thoroughly
This is where verification emails hide most often. Look for emails from Badass Network or anything mentioning account verification. Some email providers label them “Promotions” or “Updates” instead of Inbox.
Make Sure You Entered the Right Email
Typo during signup? Yeah, the email went to the wrong address. If you typed [email protected] instead of gmail.com, that email’s floating in the void somewhere. You’ll need to sign up again with the correct address.
Request a New Verification Email
Log into your dashboard (or try to). You should see a notice saying your account isn’t verified yet, with a button to resend the verification email. Click it. Check your inbox again—should arrive within a few minutes.
Still Nothing? Contact Us
Something’s probably wrong on our end—maybe your email got blocked or there’s a server hiccup. We can manually verify your account or troubleshoot what went wrong.
Common Questions
Links expire after 24 hours for security reasons. Request a new verification email from your dashboard. The new link’ll work fine.
Try copying the URL from the email and pasting it directly into your browser’s address bar. Sometimes email clients mess with links. If that doesn’t work, request a new verification email—the link might’ve been corrupted.
Technically yes, but I wouldn’t recommend waiting. You can’t publish posts or fully use your blog until verification’s complete. Just do it now and save yourself the hassle. Takes 30 seconds.
Nope. Once your account’s verified, you’re done forever. This is a one-time thing. You’ll never have to do it again unless you change your email address later.
Yeah, that’s a problem. You won’t receive the verification email because temporary email services delete messages after a short time. You’ll need to sign up again with a real, permanent email address. No way around it.
Usually means you’re entering the wrong username or password. Try resetting your password using the “Forgot Password” link on the login page. The reset email goes to your verified address.
Tips Worth Knowing
- Verify immediately after signing up. Don’t close the browser tab or wander off. Open your email right away and click the verification link while everything’s fresh. Fewer things to remember.
- Save the welcome email. Your verification email includes your username and other account details. Keep it around for reference, especially if you’re the type who forgets login info.
- Add us to your contacts. Add
[email protected]or[email protected]to your email contacts. This helps future emails from us skip spam filters. Pretty simple fix for ongoing email issues. - Bookmark your dashboard. After you verify and log in, bookmark
badassnetwork.com/yourblog/wp-adminso you don’t have to hunt for the login page every time.
Running Into Issues?
Your email provider might be blocking our emails. Try these steps: Check spam thoroughly, add our domain to your safe senders list, or try logging in from a different device/browser. If nothing works, reach out to support—we’ll verify your account manually.
Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then click the verification link again from the email. Or try opening the link in an incognito/private browsing window. Browser caching causes weird issues sometimes.
Log into each account’s dashboard. Unverified accounts show a banner at the top telling you verification’s pending. That’ll tell you which one needs attention.
