• I have been trying to install “Register Plus plugin”. It is installed,and I filled out all the info. for it and saved it, but not sure how to fill out the custom CSS for Register & Login Pages.

    “This plugin only enhances the WordPress default registration page, so if you don’t have it linked in your template already, it won’t change that. You need to have registrations enabled in your General Options page and the template tag wp_register(); somewhere in your template files (usually your sidebar.php file).”

    I asumming the default registration page is the comments page, I’m a newbie.So my
    registrations are enabled. I do not know how to insert the template tag wp_register(); somewhere in your template files (usually your sidebar.php file).

    I have downloaded it,uploaded it, activiated it, set it up as best I COULD ,but it is not there . Can someone show me the way in a clear “show & tell” way that a newbie can understand. Thanks for any help, Ed
    P.S. I will continue to try and find the php file in the theme editor.

  • Look in whatever theme you’re using’s folder for sidebar.php with your ftp client – download it to your desktop – add the code where you want it to show up and upload it. Back up file before attempting to modify.

    Hey samboll, I found the sidebar php. Can’t I just open up the theme editor, insert the template tag and update the filein theme editor.

    If “This plugin only enhances the WordPress default registration page, so if you don’t have it linked in your template already, it won’t change that.

    If not, can you show me where to insert the tag,I just inserted in the php sidebar as: “wp_register()”. Here is a pic of my theme’s sidebar php : I inserted it in the 3rd line after { ?> and before<li as shown:
    { ?> wp_register() <li
    ————————————–

      <?php if (have_posts()) { while (have_posts()) { the_post(); if (is_single()) { ?>
      <li id=”archivedentry”>
      <h2><?php _e(‘Archived Entry’); ?></h2>
    • <?php _e(‘Post Date :’); ?>
    • <?php the_time(‘l, M jS, Y’); _e(‘ at ‘); the_time() ?>
    • <?php _e(‘Category :’); ?>
    • <?php the_category(‘ and ‘); ?>
    • <?php if (function_exists(‘the_tags’)) { ?>

    • <?php _e(‘Tags :’); ?>
    • <?php the_tags(”,’, ‘ , ”); ?>
    • <?php } ?>

    • <?php _e(‘Do More :’); ?>
    • <?php if ((‘open’ == $post-> comment_status) && (‘open’ == $post->ping_status))
      {
      // Both Comments and Pings are open

    You can do it with the theme editor if you change the chmod for the file to 666 ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions ).

    Where you put it should be fine – just put it on a separate line by itself between the 2.

    Which wp folder is the theme editor located in: wp-admin, wp-includes. After I change the file to 666 and use the theme editor to update do I change the permissions back to orginal settings.

    Definitely change chmod back to 644 for security.
    The theme editor is in your dashboard or admin panel. Log in – Click on “Design” at top left – click on “Theme Editor” on next page – click on file you want to edit on right side of next page. It will come up in theme editor window.

    I have already inserted the “wp_register()” in a separate line by itself between the 2. and updated the theme. If the file was set to 666 I do not know. I do not know how to change the chmod of the file using the theme editor. I thought you had to open the remote site with your ftp client and change the chmod inside the wp folder. I should have asked: where is the file that I chmod to 666 located in the wp folder, if I am asking the right question. Any way the Register Plus
    stills doesn’t work. maybe the tag “wp_register()” isn’t right. I do not know. Do you?
