Perhaps I wasn't clear. I was only saying in the past I had the verify email plugin installed and it worked. That was with the same template I'm using now. I only mentioned that to say that the functionality was working previously. I'm not sure if that is helpful for you to know or not. However, I don't have that plugin installed anymore.
Currently the verify email field is enabled, but it's not showing up on the registration form. As I said, it's also not showing in the HTML code. Oddly, I'm not getting an error when I fill out and submit the registration form, but if I try to edit an account I get an error (Email : Email and verification do not match, please try again.)
