    Hi Everyone:

    One member reported a problem where despite what they imputed their password to be for login, it generated a new password for them when they checked on the conform link. I am wondering if there is some way to stop this – As it is very strange behavior!

    The default behavior of WPMU is for a randomly generated password to be sent to the user after they register, so unless you use a plugin for users to put their password in on registration, it is the default behavior.

    Hi Trent:

    Then why does BuddyPress make a Password field on registration? Doesn’t it seem a bit odd it would be like this? And is there some plugin that allows this that you know of?

    Sorry, I take this back. It doesn’t make the password field, a member was confused about that part. But is there some option that allows them to choose a password, or how would I go about doing this?

    DJPaul:

    I was actually looking into that app, but does it work for the “Register” page that BuddyPress creates?

    Pierce2-

    The plugin DJPaul linked to alters the behavior of WPMU’s registration process which is controlled by wp-signup.php.

    When using BuddyPress, you have a choice to either use WPMU’s registration script or the alternate one found in the home theme–register.php. More information in this thread

    Yeah, and I haven’t tried it – I just did a quick search to point you in the right direction

    Thanks for both of your replies. I have decided to modify the register.php page to fit my needs, and am wondering how I can register another field to have an error message. I am referring to in bp-core-signup.php where it shows all of the fields. In addition, what function should I look at to add the password to the database after the user registers.
