Registration Page is Ugly

It’s not so much that the registration page for my site ‘looks’ ugly, it’s that I can’t shift the order around for things already there. Like signing up for the newsletter appears in between the email and the confirm email. Where can I go to fix this? Also, the required form *profession* is there and I don’t want it — how do I take it out?

Thanks!

Hi Yvette,

You should be able to control the look and feel of the registration page under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login Registration Design, and edit specific forms under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields.

To remove a field, just press the “X” button next to it. If you’d like to edit the field, click Edit.

Also, because you are using s2Member Pro, you could ignore the wp-login.php?action=register page, and instead use the Pro Forms provided by s2Member under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Membership Level # Forms. For free subscriptions you can use Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms.

These forms will use the design properties (CSS) of your theme.

I think you missed what I wrote above! It’s not the CSS I’m worried about. That is easy to fix.

The problem is that there are fields in the form that aren’t in s2member. And changing the order of those fields isn’t possible in s2member.

Where do I go to edit this?

Yvette,

Sorry about that. I didn’t realize that s2Member was not showing you the custom registration forms. This means that there are some forms being created by a plugin outside of s2Member. Can you try disabling all plugins except s2Member and see if that helps? You should then be able to reactive plugins one-by-one and find the source of the other custom registration forms.

Regarding moving the forms, you should be able to do this using the grey arrows that are on the left of all of the forms in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields & Options. Does that work?

Thanks, Bruce. I’ve figured out what is going on – bbPress is adding fields to the registration form. Is there any easy way to integrate the s2member user fields and the bbPress user fields?

Thanks again!

Hi Yvette,

Glad to hear you figured out what the problem was.

s2Member does not have any special features for integrating with bbPress’s user fields (s2Member uses default WordPress functionality, and extends it so any plugin can add custom fields), and I am unfamiliar with how they work with bbPress. Perhaps there is a way to disable the custom fields from showing up on registration, or changing the way they work within bbPress.
