Yes, the latter is what I was suggesting… I was asking you if you had a preference on what those urls were since /login and /register were already in use…

No, I don’t have a preference. Anything will do providing that they differ from the normal WP log in and register URLs.

Okay, will set it up this evening when home from work…

When you set it up will you be able to redirect those who log in and those who register back to the forum rather than to the WP profile page?

you should be all set…

logins occur at http://yoursite.com/site_login/

registrations occur at http://yoursite.com/site_register/

lost passwords occur at http://yoursite.com/lostpasswords/

logouts redirect back to the forum…

Excellent! Thank you. I’ve noticed that errors are being returned on new registrations though. Why is that?

Can you elaborate further?  what errors?  please list them or add a screenshot..

I’ve resolved the issue. A plugin I used to create extra fields in the WP registration form was causing the errors. I have disabled the plugin and everything is working fine now. Thank you very much indeed for your help with this issue.
