Confused! Integrating user logins/sign ups…

  • Hi,

    I have a few plugins to add interactivity and automation to my wordpress site (a forum, events manager, and directory).

    I’ve learned some general information about users/members, but am very confused I have to admit about where to start specific to my site to achieve what I would like.

    The problem I have is that each plugin has their own signup/login systems, which isn’t user friendly. Also it is creating problems in that I signed up to one plugin (the forum) but then couldn’t add an event in the events manager (a synchronisation issue?).

    What I would like to achieve is a site with one login page and one registration page that signs the user in to all interactivity. Have I gone about setting things up wrongly perhaps?

    Any help or guidance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    (The plugins I am using for interactivity: The Events Manager, Directorist, and Wpforo).

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Unless some third party service is involved, all plugins should be able to rely upon the normal WP user. While they each may have their own user forms, they’ll all end up creating the same normal WP user. You don’t necessarily have to use a specific registration or login form, they’re all basically different views of the same thing.

    However, there could be additional fields required by a specific plugin that’s missing from other forms. Such fields will need to be managed by whichever form you decide to use. If you have any doubts if a particular added field is really required or not, I recommend asking in the dedicated support channel of the relevant plugin.
