 * After installing the plugin and creating the pages with shortcodes (free version)
   whenever i try to register from the front end I receive the message that only
   the admin can register users.
 * If I am logged in as admin I can see the message that it is not possible to register
   but can create users by hand.
 * Isn’t the whole idea of this plugin that users can register themselves??? What’s
   going wrong?

 * In order to allow users to register themselves, make sure in the WordPress backend,
   under “Settings” -> “General” tab you have “Membership – Anyone can register”
   checked.

   Membership – Anyone can register” checked.
