Help with new Registration Page

Hi, I'm sure this is a pretty noob question, but I'm pretty new to all of this. I just installed s2Member plugin and it looks really great (A LOT TO LEARN), but my question is why now does the wp-login.php page go to the s2Member login page. It's like the original WP login page was overwritten.

Another thing, on the register page, "http://mysite/wp-login.php?action=register", how can you adjust the default fields to be in the order you want? Right now, the order is: "username", "email address", "first name", "last name". How can I change the order??? And also, if I want to delete a default field, what php file do I edit?

Thanks for this plugin! Hope someone can help me. ;)

Well I can help some...

s2 gives you the ability to customize the registration and login pages.

Have a look under s2 general settings: "Login/Registration Design"
There you can set background, logo, etc.

I can't tell you however about how to modify the system fields and their order.

Hello, thanks. Yes, I have been there in the s2 settings, but unfortunately that doesn't look to have the customization that I need. Can a moderator or someone else help with this? This seems like it would be a fairly common thing to do.

The problem with removing default fields from the registration form, is that they are expected by WP in certain situations and not having that data may cause unexpected problems.

About changing the order, you could take a look at wp-login.php and edit the order there. The fields should be right after this line:

Code: Select all
<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="<?php echo site_url('wp-login.php''login_post'?>" method="post">

Hi Cristian, thanks so much for your reply. And thanks for the recommendation, I am certainly going to have a look and see what I can do.

My other question was that it looks like s2 overwrote the default wp-login.php file once it was activated. Is that correct? Because when I go to the regular admin login page, I see the s2 logo and all of that. How did that happen?

Yeah, it changes the default look of the login page. You can customize it, though. s2Member makes it easy to do from WP Admin -> s2Member -> General Options -> Login/Registration Design.
