I'm also confused about registration of users. I thought Wordpress automatically flags people to become a member when they go to private pages. However, my latest version of WP does no such thing

Quick question, you covered topics and forums, what about posts? when you created these topics? do they count as posts? cz they don't here with me.

Thank you for this video. It was definitely helpful on some of the finer points I hadn't figured out yet.

You have to include the meta widget into your sidebar, for them to login or then register.

I then have a problem with wordpress sending out activation emails. It not do it basically and not clear why not

@SirMarjAlot Did you get an answer to this? I'm lost , too. The Forums Login widget has a place to fill in the Register URI and lost password URI but I don't know what to do with that. Anybody?

[PoeticLisence62]

Thanks for the video, im a bit confused about register of users, am I expected as admin to set a password for them and then email this password to them.

Also after register there is no feedback ????
