Hi
I realise the Registration and Log-in processes are managed by WP but I am looking for a registration plugin that is simple, secure and totally compatible with Simple Press.
I get low to moderate traffic on my website – about 500 unique visitors per day – and, having been hacked once before, I am stacked to the eyeballs with anti-spam and anti-hacking plug-ins (Akismet, All In One WP Security, Sucuri, Captcha, Cloudflare, Custom Login).
Yes, I know, having so many plugins covering the same territory is asking for trouble. That seems to come in the form of people following the instructions but not getting the confirmation email with their password on it (even though they are listed as users). Also the check boxes for my terms and conditions have disappeared.
My problem is partly that many of my readers are not particularly computer literate. When I get complaints that they can’t login, I am never sure if it’s them or the system that has failed.
The other issue is that, since my forum is linked to the online pages of a daily newspaper, I attract a lot of online nasties who just want to stuff things up because they can.
So here is my question – is there an easy-to-use but totally secure registration plug-in (or combination of plug-ins) that is reasonably idiot-proof (and I include myself in that) that will allow me to disable some of these other plugins that may be getting in the way of the smooth running of the website.
My website is flat-chat.com.au. If anyone has any brilliant ideas I’d love to hear them.
Thanks
