Right then, this post title should be changed now to ‘Many Things I can’t Get My Head Around’ after my latest run out in adding UsersWP.
First off – the plugin DOES NOT delete all the excess pages on removing the plugin. Even after making sure that I checked ‘remove all instances of this bloody thing on deletion’ I still had to go through and delete all the new pages yet again.
Next – I was told in the Geodirectory forum that if I needed something to allow user profile editing, then I’d need to install UsersWP. Ok, so where is the option that allows user profile editing?
Frankly, this has been done all wrong. Surely it would be far more simple to just add a logon box, and then when a user is logged on, there is a new link to ‘Edit Profile’.
A total nightmare to work with, I’ll look for something else until all the bugs have been ironed out.
Hmmm… well I had one user in particular that couldn’t login, and couldn’t get a password reset. So I reset their password manually, and immediately whilst they were still on the phone, they got a notification that their password had now been reset.
So from that, I can assume that their username was correct, and their email was correct, and that emails were indeed going out from the website, but they just were not receiving any password updates.
So I don’t know what was going off in that case.
FYI: if you are an active GD member and visit https://userswp.io/your-account/ you will be given the GD addon free.
Well I must say that’s a nice offer – thanks for that!
Yes, I think that the problem I was having the other day (re new user logon from an old account) was probably due to me still having the old UWP logon page activated – ie I didn’t select ‘Delete the whole shebang’ option in the settings, meaning that the user was probably trying to logon with a non-existent account.
Yesterday though, I went through and deleted all the UWP pages, so all should be working fine now.
So – according to the docs, they reckon that any UWP created pages will override any GeoDirectory pages – so I’m guessing that the new UWP logon page will take preference?
And also in the docs, it says somewhere that even old settings will be overridden, so if I were to add that today, someone from a few weeks back would have no problems logging in to the new website.
Is that right?
