Pie Register – 1.2.9a STILL NOT WORKING

My experience was somewhat similar, and in the end I was able to register and log in with a user after an email verification. I found one certain bug and one that would need someone else’s verification.

Nhs99v: Could you try if this solves the issue you experienced?

I had enabled these settings:

• Email Verification
• Custom Log
• CAPTCHA: Simple CAPTCHA
• Additional Fields: First Name, Last Name
• Required Profile Fields: First Name, Last Name

I got the registration email with the fields Username, Password and Verification URL. The verification URL auto-filled the username I had chosen on registration. I couldn’t log in.

I may have removed the trailing & character that was in the verification URL at this point and opening that URL.

In my case this wasn’t enough to be allowed to log in. A closer inspection of the email revealed that the username was set to the value of the First Name field. Using that and the password I was able to log in.

So in Pie Register 1.2.9a there’s a bug that makes the username be the First Name, when that field is enabled, and possibly a bug with a trailing & in the verification URL. Luckily these both should be rather straight-forward to verify and fix.

I moved on!!

s2 Member for me now – fantastic plugin! How they do this for free is beyond me!

The part that I reported as a bug may be my own mistake. I double-checked and seems I myself chose the same username as the first name despite having remembered otherwise.

I’ll have a look for S2 Member after I’ll give BuddyPress a run.
