I'm experiencing the same issues (integrated scenario): User registers on bbpress and logs in there User can acces the WP Site Admin section, but it says: Welcome, . (a space instead of the user name) User comments are registered as 'Anonymous' I noticed the only way to fix this is to go to WP user management panel, editing and saving the user. So the user has to be actively (and manually :\ ) updated to have his name listed under his comments. I haven't found any way to avoid this, but if anyone can I'd be much abliged! cordoval on "Simple registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/simple-registration#post-16640 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 06:08:27 +0000 cordoval 16640@http://bbpress.org/forums/ solved!!! add a previous line fetching the posted value: $temp = $_POST['tpassword']; and then use: bb_update_user_password( $user_id, $temp ); That is it, you have your system where you can let your users set their own passwords.

Sounds simple but let's see where our code is. cordoval on "Simple registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/simple-registration#post-16619 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 05:21:25 +0000 cordoval 16619@http://bbpress.org/forums/ This sounds a past issue, yet I would like to add fuel to this thread. Please make me aware if there is already a plug in for this feature. I saw a note of _ck_ requesting this enhancement but I doubt it has gone through over these months yet. To txrediakov: I want to enable the user to choose their password, not because of email anymore but because I believe we cannot just deny our users this capability. It is expected in any reasonable website that the user can type her own password. To chrishajer: Good information. Now thinking logically: If one can display the password in a window returned after registration I think it could be possible to perform one additional step in the php code to take a password fetched from a custom field in the registration page, then take the bbpress generated password and replace it with the new value. However, there is a slight problem. The user can only change her password after she is logged in. Granting the new user access to the account to post right away after registration may pose some kind of security thread to the system and to the accounts of all users. So how could we go about doing this without compromising the security of the system? Please you are welcome to contact me as I need to work and solve this issue.

Having said that, I think this hack will only work on Windows Servers running IIS. But I'm not 100% sure about that.

In the file /bb-includes/pluggable.php add the following lines at the top: <pre><code>ini_set("SMTP","mail.YourDomain.com"); //IP or server name for smtp server ini_set("smtp_port","25"); ini_set('sendmail_from', 'ValidEmailAccount@YourDomain.com');</code></pre> This worked in my case. I hope this solves other people's problems too.

I had bbpress 0.9 installed on a previous hosting provider & the system would send out emails to new registrants without any problem. However, I have moved to a new hosting provider that requires authentication for the mail to be sent, and will not allow "localhost" as the outgoing mail server. Where do I find the php file that allows me to change it from localhost to a specific "outgoing mail server" domain? Is it even possible?

It's not exactly what you need, but maybe the approach could be the same. You could still require username and email, but then their password would be displayed instead of emailed. I think also maybe you underestimate your users. The password arrives via email in less than a minute usually. If they can't hang around for that, why would they hang around on a forum at all?

It would be great one of this things: 1- anonymous post, just put my name 2- i have to register, but I can choose my password and I don't need to wait for a registration mail. The main problem I have is that my users are lazy, so if I make them register and wait for a password they are going away... Thanks for your comments.
