Hi,,
Sorry if I have missed this, but can you add a step for Admin to validate a self-registered user before allowing them access to private areas of the website?Thanks
Than may depend on what method you are using for “self-registration”.
We allow users to register a new Church Admin user without auto-generating a WordPress account. This creates a situation where a user is created in the database, our Administrators are emailed, and then (at their discretion) a WordPress user may be created and linked to the user generated Church Admin user.
Sorry if that is confusing. There are other methods but using this approach we control all of the security of who can see what.In the Support menu item of Church Admin you will find a fantastic set of shortcodes. The excerpt below is from that listing.
[church_admin_register create_user=FALSE admin_email=TRUE]
This shortcode allows new people to register and logged in users to update their own entry.
create_user=TRUE will create a subscriber user for each valid email address
admin_email=TRUE lets the admin email know that a new address entry has been created
exclude=”middle-name,nickname,prefix,date-of-birth,marital-status,image,small-groups,classes,socials,ministries,mobile,gender,custom” allows you to exclude and or all of those fields from the form@Pastor Andres said:

I was looking for how we could be notified when somebody is trying to create an account, because for us the process was as follows:
>new person registers
>GDPR automatically emails them
>they confirm
>and nothing happens… they have no idea what to do, because there is no chance to customize the confirmation landing page. This means I always get a call asking what they are supposed to do.For me, the only way I knew for them to get login credentials from that point, is to link them to a WP account. Based on your experience… does the create_user=TRUE flag solve this? Are they notified by email of the “subscriber” account? Thanks for sharing your experience!
NathanI changed create_user from FALSE to TRUE, and tested it, but had no change in the experience. After confirming my email, the landing page thanked me and invited me to return to the “main page” – but in the background no user was created, no additional emails were sent, etc. In fact, WP is not even generating the admin notifications from the church admin plugin. It IS generating all other admin notifications (like when you want to change the admin email, or if wordfence or wordpress wants to notify the admin of anything)… Is anyone else experiencing this?
(admin_email=TRUE, and executing the church admin plugin test email is successful, so not sure why it is not generating notifications for registration)
I thought it might have something to do with the SMTP settings vs. WP native email (even though test emails and other emails worked) so I completely wiped out the ChurchAdmin SMTP settings; however, that resulted in absolutely no change. I can send emails all day long from the plugin, it automatically generates the GDPR emails and new user created – but the ADMIN notification of a requested registration does not work anymore in any configuration… and the CREATE_NEW_USER=TRUE flag also does not work. Is it the same for others?
The admin_email=TRUE fell out in a past update, will be back in the next update 2.6905
Create user was removed as the person registering would need to confirm their email first anyway. I’ve left it as an admin job for now@andymoyle said:
