Try [theme-my-login] instead. I had the same problem when using _ instead of -.
I think there might be a typo in the shortcode documentation.
Yes, the shortcode is [theme-my-login]. Also, the plugin creates it’s own page when it is actiavted.
yes, it was a typo. I looked through the documentation and that is why I was so confused because I thought it created it’s own page as well yet installed and reinstalled several times over the course of two hours and it would never work without the shortcode. I tried giving it a page id for the custom page with the shortcode, I tried deleting the shortcode and the page and removing the id from the admin area, nothing worked. It’s working now and I am glad. I think this plugin will be exactly what I need and save me a bunch of time.
I don’t suppose you have any infromation on how to get the custom fields to populate the admin area of wordpress do you Jeff? I would like to follow your documentation for adding custom fields to the login and then be able to go into users in the admin area and see the data show up there.
You would have to use additional action hooks in order to inject the fields into the WP admin area profile page. That hook would be edit_profile_user and it is passed in the WP_User object as it’s only parameter.
I followed this tutorial for your plugin
http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creative-coding/bringing-the-membership-process-to-the-front-of-your-site/
but it doesn’t seem to work fully. I see the custom fields that they talk about adding later on in the tutorial but it doesn’t populate the profile. I see the field in the profile but it’s empty. I saw the fields in the register screen and filled it in but it didn’t populate anything on the profile page. I thought I would try doing it the way your documentation shows it next.
