Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about User Registration Aide

No, there currently is no shortcode as it uses the current registration/profile actions and filters for WordPress so it shows up without the need for a shortcode.

First, you need to make sure you are allowing new users to register for your site which is found on the general settings tab on the admin dashboard under membership, make sure you have the Anyone can register checkbox checked. Then, if you don't know where it is the registration form is on the login form, as there should be a register link at the bottom of the login form page if you are allowing anyone to sign up. Click on the register link to see the registration form and your new extra fields.

Yes, with W3 Total Cache activated there will be errors thrown when creating the new template pages. It will say post_permalink is deprecated if you have error reporting on, and apparently will prevent activation on some sites from my understanding. I have no idea when they will fix that and there is nothing we can do at this point in time, others have addressed this issue on their support page but they are still using deprecated code and generating errors. What you can do to work around this is before activating User Registration Aide, deactivate W3 Total Cache and activate USer Registration Aide and then reactivate W3 Total Cache. For the Email Verification and other functions to work properly you must have the Permalink Structure set to Post Name, otherwise you will get Error 404 Page Not Found Errors!
