    I have done a successful GD installation locally and enabled the GD user plugin which allows me to keep the users for my site different from the wordpress admin user accounts. I am also able to specify the password at the time of registering using this feature but is there a facility to enable the logged in user to change the password using the my account/ my profile page?. Should i edit it somewhere or is there any plugin to be installed for these extended features to get activiated/ work

    Hi Sathish,

    If you add the GD login box widget, you will get a link to the dashboard page. Or you can use buddypress and the buddypress integration addon:

    Thanks!

    With just GD installed, your users can change their password if you change the following setting:
    GD > General > General tab > Allow user to see wp-admin area > YES

    Oh no, that will expose them to the wp-admin portal which I do not want to do. I want them to be just users of the site, add posts etc like they do on say FB or any other classifieds portals but not see my admin area.. I may even delete the wp-admin folder altogether when I go live and keep it only on my local machine and connect to the remote MySQL Server in the hosted server.. I will try adding the widget as suggested earlier and also try the buddy press as I need that kind of profile page etc for my users to add more info about themselves to be searchable by the audience

    It will only expose them to their profile, try it with a test subscriber.
    Buddypress might be your answer then.

    Yes, Buddy press works. The enabling of admin area access to users option as mentioned in the post works good and exposes only the profile section of the member, but I felt buddy press was even better as it offers more options and scope to expand in future as my site might need such a feature. So, I ended up discovering about buddypress thru this post. Thanks guys. I am amazed at the kind of dev team WPGEODIRECTORY is having for quick responses. So, problem solved with BuddyPress plugin.
