Problems with the signup process

[nusolutions]

Testing this process for the first time and here’s what I see:
1. I sign up for a new account and receive the activation email as expected. I click the activation link as asked. If I attempt to log in by clicking the Log In button located in the upper right hand corner I get “Wrong username or password. Please try again”. I get this error immediately after activating my account even though the password is correct. I’ve even gone so far as to reset the password for this test user in the dashboard and I still get that error.
If I go back to my email and click the link which takes me to /wp-login, I enter my credentials, including the captcha, I’m able to log in successfully.

I use the SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam plugin and have it checked to add captcha to the login form. In testing I’m almost sure this is the reason I’m unable to log in via the Sign in form but I can via the /wp-login form. Is there anyway to have a captcha code appear in the Sign in form? If not then how are others validating their users who sign in via this form?
I do have the BuddyPress Security Check plugin installed and activated so it appears along with the captcha during registration.

2. In dealing with the same issue I see the “Forgot your username?” link but I don’t see a link to “Reset password”. When clicking the “Forgot your username” link, I enter my email address and click the “Send My Details” button and get the following error: “ERROR: Empty CAPTCHA”. Again, how do I enable captcha for this area?

3. While attempting to sign into my account there’s a button to “Create a New Account”. Why is this there? In other words should it appear after creating and activating new accounts? Is there a way to remove it?

Hi,
1 and 2 have to deal with your Captcha plugin. Try replacing it or adapt it’s functionality to the other login places.
3. The create account should be in your site. There is no way to know if a user wants to register of activate it;s account 🙂

Options in that plugin are enabled to place captcha on login, comment, registration, and lost password forms. So basically there’s no way, or intention, of adding captcha to that sign in form? If not can it’s link be changed to point to the /wp-login which has the captcha in the form?

Also what about the option to reset the password? I see the /my-account/lost-password/ link but no link on the form to get to it. If I have to go with changing the link to the login form then I’m ok as the “Lost password” link appears in the /login form. The ideal scenario would have captcha in the login form to keep the users from having to go in thru the “back door”.

Best is to change the login button not to open the modal, and send you to wp-login.php

Search for the PROFILE button in header.php and replace this:

COPY CODE

href="#" data-reveal-id="login_panel"

with

COPY CODE

href="/wp-login.php"

Otherwise you have to change the modal to include that captcha functionality.

I’ll give it a shot.
Will both options be broken at the next theme update? If so I take it there’s no way to add this to the child template?

Not sure how to change the “modal” but thinking it would be nice to have captcha there so as to cut down in bogus logins? No?

You need to copy the php template files to the same location in sweetdate-child to keep the changes on next updates
