    I know I’ve seen this on some wordpress blogs. How do I allow outside users to register via the homepage of the site and be approved to post on my blog? Of course some sort of moderation would be nice also.

  • To allow registration, you just need to have it set so in the options (Options – General, Membership: Check “Anyone can register”), then place a link on your page wherever you want using the wp_register Template Tag.

    And if you’re using WP 2.0 or 2.01, the Roles and Capabilities codex entry should explain how you can implement moderation. (WP 1.5 – User Roles.)

    Ok…I got the wp register. I have a two questions though.

    First I tried this logged off and go back to the site to register nothing is there. When I’m logged on I get the “site admin” link. What am I doing wrong?

    Second how do I have the them register with the cells already on the page rather then jumping to another page?

    Thanks for you help so far.

    When you are logged in, you will see Site Admin. If you followed the instructions for allowing registration in the options, when you’re logged out you should see Register.

    Make sure you have allowed registration in your options, as detailed above and on the codex.

    There is not a way to allow registration from your main page as far as I know. They’ll have to jump over to registration.
