How do new users register / create an account on my forum?
-
I’ve set up my BuddyPress on http://thegoddessforum.com and imported most of what I could from the old Ning forum. The old Ning members are gradually coming and getting their passwords re-set. But new users who want to register don’t seem to be able to. The only option anywhere is “To start connecting please log in first.”
I can’t work out how to add a “register here” function. Is there one inbuilt with BuddyPress? If not, how do I go about setting up a registration function?
thanks in advance,
Anita

I should have been more literal .In WP set up to run as Multi Site you have a Super Admin set of links one of which is ‘Options’ if running as single WP then that isn’t available and you need to use the Settings > General link as Paul described.
Worth bearing in mind BP is a registration/member led application it is nothing without ability for members to sign up but traditionally WP was a single bloggers tool and probably most never allowed or wanted people to sign up to the blog but simply place comments to posts so default state is registration disabled.
