How do I enable Member Registrations?

Hi all,

 

Looks like I’m unable to enable member registrations. ‘Components – Login And Registration’ shows: ‘Your site is currently not set to allow users to register. Click on the help icon for details of how to turn this on’.

However, when I do so, all it shows is: ‘No login’.

Ooh. Missing help text. Thanks for finding that – i will get that fixed up on the next update.

As to the question I refer you to this FAQ on our Codex if I may:

Hi there, I’m also encountering the same issue as above, however, my WordPress settings are already set to ‘Anyone can register’.

The error message a new user receives when clicking the Simple:Press ‘Register’ button is ‘User registration is currently not allowed.‘
Any ideas??? frown

A quick search reveals that this is actually a WordPress message issued when the user registrations are disabled suggesting something is wrong in the WordPress arena.

Now if registrations are not turned on SP does not show a registration button so if you are seeing the button that also suggests it is, indeed, enabled.

So – any other plugins that may be working on the registration process?
