User Registration Change

  • I’m running IIS6 + PHP4.3.11 & MySQL 4.0.25
    I recently setup v1.5.3 and noticed the Registration is different. I’m running in a local intranet so email is not setup. The new version requires email to set the login password.
    Can I and what do I need to change in the wp_register.php to remove the emailing of the password and allow the user to set their own password like v1.2.2 (running on another box of mine)
    Any help is greatly appreciated. I’m no programmer and a newbie at WP.
    Thanks

  • The 1.2.x registration page (wp-register.php) should still work with 1.5.x, but:

    1. The add_magic_quotes() function, which can be found right at the top of wp-register.php in 1.2.x, would need to be removed from it.

    2. Layout on the page will probably go adrift, so that would require fixing.

    Here’s a copy that takes care of both:

    Thanks for the quick response. I tried your file but it didn’t work in my environment.
    No matter though I dug-in and used Beyond Compare to tweak the existing wp_register.php works great now.
    I got a lot more satisfaction tweaking the file myself…

    Kafkaesqui that file doesn’t work for me, I really want to get my blog working like that.

    Is there a line or something I should add?

    the error given is;

    WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘dateYMDhour’ in ‘field list’]

    Do I add that column? or do I edit the wp-register file?

    I’m very new at this, but would appreciate any help offered

    it doesn’t work for me to :[

    shit, i need it very much :/

    thats all i need

    thought I might find a quick fix for this, but just created a quick user self password creation.

    Replace existing files:
    wp-register.php
    wp-includes/registration-functions.php

    (use at your own risk) Enjoy!
