Having trouble with the default registration process.
1) users can’t enter their passwords
2) the page says it will email them a password
3) no email is sent to the users (no password, no confirmation)
4) users can still interact with data once they log in and don’t have to verify email.

Additional requests:
1) Can I limit email signups to certain domains (eg. indiana.edu)
2) Can I automatically override the user’s name with “Candid Intern?”

1. Have a look at GD > General > General tab > Allow users to choose own password > YES

2 + 3. It looks like you are using some other registration plugin too. If you want to use eg Front-End Users Plugin, have a look at https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/redirecting-the-login-page/

There are some plugins that may assist with domain restrictions, eg https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-user-registration/

You cannot have duplicate usernames.

Thanks

How would I autogenerate usernames : eg. CandidIntern345, CandidIntern346? The goal is to maintain the anonymity of the user. Unless there is a way to disable comments from showing the username that wrote the review.

Hi Lucas,

I think you could hook in and change the username on the fly but that would be customisations which we do not do, try Google, someone else might have done something similar.

Thanks,

Thanks for the feedback, Stiofan!

I got it to work by editing comment_functions.php in geodirectory.

Best,
