WooCommerce uses the native WordPress user functions. It just adds a user role called “customer.” If you set your default new user role to “customer,” then the registration links that already appear in WordPress will allow your customers to register without having to buy anything.

Hello squire82,

Theme My Login is a plugin that (among other things) allows you to add fields to your user registration form. I used that feature to add WooCommerce’s customer fields to the registration form, thereby creating a front-end registration that looks and feels like the rest of my client’s site. As brasofilo mentioned above, it helps to use phpMyAdmin to see which fields WooCommerce is using so that you can match those fields in your Theme My Login custom registration form.

A note of warning: I had some problems with Theme My Login after upgrading to the latest version of WordPress: user login resulted in an endless redirect loop. I had to roll back both the WP installation and the TML installation in order to get everything working again. You might not have this problem if you’re building the site from the ground up with the latest version of everything, but just so you know.

Thanks! That was just the help I needed. I’ve got it all working now.

Thanks, brasofilo. My client wants to approve customer registrations before they can shop (she’s running a wholesale knitting pattern store) so she wants to have the fields that come up in the ordering process on the registration form. You were able to do something like that with Theme My Login?

brasofilo, what plugin did you end up using? I’m working on resolving the exact same issue for WooCommerce.

Esmi’s idea totally worked. Here’s the css:

#nav ul li {
	padding-bottom: 25px;
	background: url(images/bullet.jpg) bottom center;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

#nav ul li:last-child {
	background-image: none;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
}

You can see the results in action here:

The :last-child pseudoclass doesn’t work in IE, but I think there’s a javascript solution for that, which I will be looking into when I’m not about to fall asleep. Thanks for your help, everyone

This solution actually occurred to me right after I signed off. I’m going to give this a try. Will let you know the results. Thanks esmi!

Yeah, that’s the line I’m trying to walk. I’ve looked a couple of solutions that involve my recoding a widget, but my client wants as much control as possible, so this might be one part of the appearance we have to sacrifice.

Well, that’s too bad. I tried dotted lines as a bottom border, and neither I nor my client liked them. Thank you for the help, though. Back to the drawing board . . .

Sure. I haven’t finished work on this yet, so the styles aren’t as pretty as they’re going to be, and links and category names are appearing now where they won’t later, but here it is:

And here’s what I want it to look like:

Thanks! It was uploading a fresh wp-includes folder that did the trick.

I wrote the developer directly. He’s working on it, and is planning on having a shopping cart add on ready in July.

Thanks, SS_Minnow. I’ll give those a try. I was also surprised to find no .htaccess file. This installation of WP was a one-click install with Host Monster. Wonder if that has anything to do with it, since every other installation I’ve done has had the file.

Yes, I know that. Thanks for checking, though. That was the result of a quick cut-and-paste.

Never mind, fixed.
