User Self-Registration

[fourd5dswb]

Hello again,

I can't get the User Self-Registration plugin to work. I have downloaded the one for the sidebar and the event plugin but everytime I try to sign up it tells me that I have entered the captcha wrong and I didn't pass the antispam test. I looked for answers in the FAQ and tried to search the forums but I had no luck.

Thanks for your help.

Hi!

What's the URL of your page? Usually if you don't pass the captcha tests it could mean that your server's PHP sessions might not be properly working. With your URL I could try to sign up from here.

The URL is http://www.prowlser.com.

I tried it from my work computer this morning and it didn't work either.

Thanks.

Hi!

This might be related to other configurations you made to the Anti-Spam plugin.

The adduser plugin simply embeds the usual anti-spam methods. When you enable things like Emergency Comment moderation, or even auto-moderation of everything, or specifiy required fields that do not occur in the Registration form, the antispam plugin will always return false as to the check.

Please show me the configuration of your antispam plugin, one of those options must be the culprit.

That worked. I removed the anti-spam plugin and it excepted the user registration.

Now once the user self registered, how does the admin moderate the registration? I tried to find where it shows someone had registered but it is no where to be found.

Hi!

You can configre the sidebarplugin and enable the option that an admin needs to approve the requests. Then you get an email with which you can enable the account.

Created users can only be confirmed via the email an admin receives. Pending authors are not shown on a frontend, they only exist in a staged database table, from which they are enabled when they activate the hashlink inside the mails they get.

Only once they are approved/confirmed they can be managed like usual authors.
