Good morning! Happy New Year!
Under Settings, check off ‘Anyone can register’, then go just below that to make each user a ‘Contributor’. Then hit ‘Save Changes’. That will allow people to register. They will have no authority except to post seed exchanges. You will get to review and accept them for them to be live. This cuts the spammers. If you find people who are active, you can increase their permission to Subscriber, which means you don’t have to review their posting. ‘Author’ has even more permission, and so on up the line.
No one can actually get into your back end unless you give them full permission. I opened a separate account as a Contributor to see what that meant. You might want to do that just to see what people can see. It really helped me see the work flow.
Yes, it’s a bug that there are no post totals. That’s why we installed the Jetpack search tool so people can search something. When they are logged in, they can see the list of all the exchanges by clicking on ‘Seed Exchanges’ in the nav bar on the left. This is why I have extensive directions on the seedback home page. If you want to copy that page from my website, please feel free! A link back to my site would be appreciated.
Let me know if all that helps! I was planning on writing up a Read Me, because the one Meitar wrote is a skeleton. I just have not gotten around to it!
