Generally, users register themselves. The plugin puts the registration process on the front end.
If you are talking about adding users via the back-end, you can add them just as you would without the plugin, but any additional fields would need to be completed on the user profile after you add them.
I would suggest reviewing the plugin documentation:
Chad,
I had 2.7.6 installed and working normal for my 2200+ users. I applied your update 2.7.7 but I got the message that the Plugin update failed:
Update Plugin
Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-members.2.7.7.zip…
Unpacking the update…
Installing the latest version…
Removing the old version of the plugin…
Could not create directory. C:/inetpub/wwwroot/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-members/
Plugin update failed.
I was glade I had the older 2.7.6, I installed 2.7.6, at lease I’m back up running as before the 2.7.7 update. What happened?

Shawn – this isn’t directly related to the existing thread – you should be starting a new thread if you have a question.
The issue you had can happen when there is a breakdown anywhere in the automatic install process – there are lots of possibilities that have nothing to do with the plugin.
Here is what you could do:
- Attempt the install via the plugin manager again
- Download the 2.7.7 version, unzip, and ftp the new version (you should deactivate the plugin prior to doing this)
If you directly ftp the update and have problems, I would say you need to check the chmod settings of the /wp-members/ and/or /wp-content/plugins/ directories. If you have hardened your install and chmoded these to not be writable, you will need to change that to update.
If you ever need a roll-back version, previous versions are available on wordpress.org.
