I have quite a few forum users who enter wrong forum credentials too many times and they get locked out of the forum temporarily by my security settings. Many users have a hard time figuring out the registration process. They reset their passwords several times before they get it to work
I am wondering if there is a way to simplify the registration process. Right now they register, then they fill in their information. When they submit it they end up at a wordpress login screen, then they have to go to their email and click on a link, then they are sent to a page where they are prompted to reset their password. That brings them to a page where they are automatically assigned a long password which nobody can remember. Then after they reset it, they end up at a wordpress screen where they are prompted to log in. Then, when they click on the login link, they end up on a wordpress page and are totally confused where they ended up.
I don’t know if there is a problem with my registration settings or if this is supposed to be like that. However I am looking for a way to make the registration process really simple and easy, kind of idiot proof. Is there a way to do this?
