Users on your website are not the province of Simple:Press. Simple:Press is a WordPress plugin and WordPress provides the core functionality of your website – including the whole management of user registrations, login, logout etc.

If you are unhappy with the way that WordPress accepts new user registrations etc., then I suggest that you look to install either a membership plugin or – if you just want a better looking option – a registration and login plugin. Depends what control you want over it although buy the sound of it a membership plugin may be your best option.

We do have an article on our Codex (http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/problem-with-post-edit-buttonow-to/problem-with-post-edit-buttonow-to-configure-simple-press-with-membership-plugin/) that describes how to integrate a membership plugin with SP although this is geared very much towards ‘WishList Member’, which is one of the most popular. There are many others and you really need to review their features and plus points.

Is this Wishlist Product the only way to do this.  I too am looking at options for making the registration process better.

Thanks

At the most basic you have plugins available like ‘Theme My Login’ which can force email verification or admin approval of new registrants as well as add fields to the registration process and effect the visual look of the forms. At the other end of the scale you have sophisticated membership plugins that control access to pages and individual posts etc.

So it depends what you want to do.

I would start by taking a look through the WP plugin repository at what is on offer.

Thanks.  I could look at that shortly, however I have additional problems which may explain why I have this issue.

Perhaps if that gets answered, things may improve!

will leave that one over there…  any plugin that properly adds members using the wp api should work fine for this topic…
