No password sent to new user
-
I’m trying to set this up but coming up with a couple of problems in testing.
The main problem is that when I register people via the backend, once approved, they aren’t sent their password. The welcome email they receive says Password:(hidden.) (I’ve tried using Show Password but it still doesn’t work.) So they’re sent the link to the login screen rather than to a Reset your Password screen. They have to use the Forgotten password link. Confusing when they’ve never had a password in the first place.
Other problems are that promoting someone from unapproved to subscriber can’t be done via the “All users” screen and editing them. Although it approves them, they aren’t sent an email to tell them they’ve now been approved. So I have to remember to add user in that window and then go straight to the Moderate users window to approve them, so they will get the email.
And even though I’ve tried to add as subscriber, they’re only registered as waiting for approval so they get the Waiting email. Which is confusing.
BTW, I’ve left “anyone can register” unticked as the plan at the moment is to add users manually via backend. So I don’t have to go through people applying to register, thinking that will get them on a mailing list. Because I then have to email them to redirect them to the mailing list form.
Are all these things just part and parcel of how this plugin works, or is it meant to be working more smoothly?
Thanks.
Clare
