I've added a number of addons to wpDiscuz (comment author info) and wpForo (private messaging) and now I'm having problems with registrations...
1. When a new person want's to register to make a comment there is only the option to "Login" which takes them to the WP login page with no option to register.
2. There is a password reset issue as well causing users to have to reset twice. Here's what happens:
a) A user gets the confirmation email and clicks through to "reset password" WP page (this is misleading and should be "set password") and is asked to put in a password.
b) when the password is put in a notice comes up "Your password reset link appears to be invalid. Please request a new link below" (see screenshots)
c) So the user puts in the username and asks for a reset - when clicking on the link in the next email the user is presented with a "Enter your new password below" page.
d) When the password is reset again the user is then taken to the WP login page and has to log in.
e) Once logged in the user is taken to the WP Dashboard to enter more details (my testers say this is disorientating and if not familiar with WP back-end would feed they are on the wrong site - and have to find themselves to the actual site)
- Primarily how do we make it more obvious how people can register at the comments AND have somewhere for them to register right there at the comments?
- How do we stop the WP reset twice thing from happening and how do we exclude the WP dashboard back-end step?
Could any of this be related to us being a sub-site of a WP multisite installation, and if so, what's the fix?
