I came to this post to see how others are doing allowing registrations to their blogs.

First, the general settings are under your control, uncheck “anyone can register” and they wont be able to. If you do want them to register and subscribe, check that box and choose “subscriber” in the drop down menu, that can allow people that want to subscribe to your blog to do so. I think they would do that to get links back to their site when they comment, you will moderate the comment and approve or delete it anyway.

Set the check box to “anyone can register” and the drop down to: author, and now you allow people to join your blogging community, that is what I am doing, this can be beneficial, Mike Liebner from Article Underground, literally has thousands posting to his blogs as authors it helps his blog show up on page one of search for many different keywords with their articles, if your blog gets popular well then, like Mike says “words equal money”

If you are blogging private then just uncheck that box and get the security plugin.

Still wondering how anyone else is doing allowing user author registrations, guess I can keep looking aroung.

Ahh…

Their widgets, the meta and other links appear in the cutline style to look like catigories and links you add yourself but these are default widgets so to edit or remove them is done at “Appearence then Widgets” it’s the widgets.php page.

Always click every button in navbar and look each one over you get an Ahhh… moment and save time from clicking and reading in forums.

Hello,

Not sure if this is the same as your problem but when my wp
automatic update plugins failed, I was able to just delete the
previous version and it’s folder at my ftp. It was in the “plugins folder” I copied it first to my hard drive in case. Then after clicking “plugins, add new,”
I was able to get the file uploaded from my downloaded location
(this case desktop) by clicking the browse button and grabbing it.
At that point the ugrade function asked for the password to the ftp
and did it’s thing and it installed.

If that way still wont work you can try sending the plugin folder
after you unzip it, to the directory /wp_content/plugins not /upgrade
log out restart your browser, log back in and look for the plugins to be activated and there is a good chance it will be there then click activate.

I didn’t have to do it that way but it still could work as long as the server will read the script and what is there.

Hope it helps
