    Hello,

    you can leave the GD Login permalink blank (not recommended) or assign it a different page than UsersWP like “GD LOGIN”.

    They should not, though, be pointed at the same page.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply. I have done exactly as you said and created an additional login page where I attached the GD Login permalink. When doing this there is a page available (even if not listed on the menu of the site) where users can register – even if they do not complete all the required fields as given by the UsersWP page.

    Therefore I guess that it is better to have a blank GD Login permalink, but could have unforeseen results… 🙁

    Is there no way to disable the login and register boxes that GD creates?

    Hello,

    on my test site I created

    Login UWP – Set as login page
    Register UWP – Set as registration page

    Login GD – Set as GD login page

    Now when a use comes to the site, and selects ‘add listing’ from the menu, they are taken to the UWP login, and if they don’t have a login they can select the link for ‘Create new account’ which takes them to the UWP registration page so they can fill out all the reuired UWP fields.

    GD is ‘aware’ of the settings for UsersWP, and UWP specifically overrides the setings for GD so they work together. This is especially important since in V1 to add a listing, users must login to add a listing, and most site owners want users to register to add a comment, too.

    If there is another page for GD Login, it shouldn’t show up anywhere, and doesn’t need to be in the menu. If you are using UsersWP, then the various places where users are directed to login/register, these links will point to the UsersWP login page.

    Hope that helps
