The plugin’s normal operation is not intended to use wp-login.php (although you can). So if you use the registration process through wp-login.php, WP will send the user their password via email.
This ends up being more a case of poor user experience than anything else because the user will not be able to log in with that password until they are activated. But when they are activated, they will receive a new password.
You can avoid this by unchecking the “anyone can register” in the WP settings which shuts off wp-login.php registration – it does not affect the operation of the plugin (in fact, that’s the recommended setting).
Thank you for your reply. By cons, if I uncheck “anyone can register” I can not use the default WP login page.
Having customized login pages and matriculation default WP, I would like to know if there is a trick to use the default pages of your WP plugin?
As I described, it will still work that way. It’s just that the user will receive a password in that initial registration email that WP sends – they won’t be able to log in with it, and it will be changed when they are activated.
Im new to WordPress. Need help regarding this similar situation.
I am using wp-members. I would like the homepage to be a page like the wp-login.php
from which users cannot escape, unless they login. I tried force login extension, it works well, but only with the original wp-login.php
So if i disable ‘Any one can register’, obviously the register link from wp-login.php is gone.
How can I make the wp-members login page show up on a separate screen, without the index.php (my forum) in the background. I would like to recreate wp-login.php to be used with wp-members, so it forced the login, or allows registration.
Please help!
