Membership Website vs WordPress.com

    Trying to focus my question as I learn.

    I want my website to have its own user registration required to make comments. I want those registered users to receive email in their comment threads and for new posts. I don’t want them to have those interactions using registrations other than my own. In other words, I want to require site users to login with the username registered for my website, not with any other from social media or wordpress.com.

    I understood that Jetpack was a path toward such email, but it appears to put a wordpress.com login directly in the face of my users and I can’t find a way around that.

    Am I asking for the unreasonable or impossible?

  • Hi @wporg4ssorg,

    Thanks for contacting us! Jetpack includes a comment feature that makes it easy for the visitors of your website to login to their already existing WordPress.com or social media accounts and post comments on your website.

    As I understand you would like the visitors to register on your website, have accounts on the site and then post the comments. This feature is already part of WordPress core and you do not need to use Jetpack comments for it.

    To require user login enable “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” option on WordPress Admin > Settings > Discussion page.

    Enable “Anyone can register” setting on WordPress Admin > Settings > General page to enable user registration on the website.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

    Thanks for the response, Gaurav.

    I don’t want people to use a wordpress.com login at all, or if such a login is necessary for a feature such as email for new posts or user management of their email choices, I want it to be invisible, so my user is aware only of their registration on my site, Trying to keep it simple for the user. Two logins for my site is not user friendly.

    Hi @wporg4ssorg, Users registered on your site can still log into your site using the credentials registered there. Using the WordPress.com credentials is an added option but not mandatory.

    You can learn more about this feature here: https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/settings-general-screen/#membership and https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/settings-general-screen/#new-user-default-role

    Hello @wporg4ssorg,

    Do you have updates about that? We usually close inactive threads after one week of no movement, but we want to make sure we’re all set before marking it as solved. Thanks!
