New Users Can’t Register

  • I’ve searched the archives for this problem but I can’t seem to find an answer. I’ve recently completed an upgrade of WordPress from 1.5 to 2.0. Everything is working fine except new users can’t seem to register.

    When someone tries to register they receive the following error:

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘user_nickname’ in ‘field list’]
    INSERT INTO wp_users (user_login, user_pass, user_nickname, user_email, user_ip, user_browser, user_registered, user_level, user_idmode, user_nicename) VALUES (‘testing’, MD5(‘514c812’), ‘testing’, ’[email protected]’, ‘42.15.48.62’, ‘Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6’, ‘2006-02-13 18:54:12’, ”, ‘nickname’, ‘testing’)

    I was thinking about just creating a user_nickname field in the database, but not sure if that would fix the error. Can someone give me some feedback. The site is located at https://www.edwize.org. Thank you.

  • Nickname is now stored in wp_usermeta not wp_users so makes me wonder that you have some Version 1.5 scripts still hanging around. Notice you have a nice logo on your login page so wonder if you still have an old wp-register.php?

    Might want to reupload at least the new version of that file.

    Michael,

    I didn’t install the graphics until after the upgrade, but you’re right I must have used an older version of wp_register and now everything appears to be working.

    Thank you,
