Hi,
For anyone checking this, I just wanted to confirm that all the button codes work now. You need to follow the setup designated in the Church Admin Plugin settings page for starters, then customize from there. Thanks Andy!

The following buttons all work:
Home
Account
Giving
Address
Bible
Calendar
Check In
Classes
Small Group
Media
Messages
News
Prayer
My Prayer
Rota
Settings
Logout
Spiritual Growth
Courage

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?

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  

Thanks for the shortcode tip @Pastor Andres! 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!

Thanks! This is working great in the new app (version 1.50)  

Hi rverrips,
When you say “this is working now” are you referring to an in-app registration page, or just a hyperlink to the web registration? I do not see any in-app registration currently, so wanted to confirm if I’m doing something wrong based on your comment.
Thanks,
Nathan
