I'm fairly new at WordPress, therefore hopefully someone will find it easy enough to share a few minutes of their time assisting me. Basically, I was trying to implement custom registration into my new WordPress install. After struggling for a while, I came by the BuddyPress plugin, which seems to be absolutely amazing, except for one thing - while the registration works perfectly well, in order to login you apparently either need to have a wordpress account (there's the wordpress logo, etc). Would there be any hints on what actions could I take now ?
You could use WordPress with both the BuddyPress and Theme My Login plugins. This would let you completely customise the login and registration pages of WordPress.
This IMHO is the classic online tutorial for customised login/register/password retrieval for Wordpress.

I am new to WordPress. Help me create end user login page. I have created and site with a theme. My requirement is to create a login page for the site not for the dashboard.
Only if they login, they should be able to access other pages
I need lo add an sign in page for the site, and then user should visit be able to visit these pages
If you are looking to have login form on front end then there are multiple plugins available out there. Checkout UserPro plugin.
Also Free plugin like 'Theme My Login (TML)' can be used to provide login functionality on front end. These are just examples, there are many others as well.
Let me know if this helps or feel free to discuss more in details.
This is very well possible. You can even do this without any advanced coding skills, but it requires some (very popular) plugins.
Use the 'sidebar login widget' to let people login on any part of your website and use 'login redirect' to send them to a specific private(!) page, based on their role.
I can recommend the 'TML plugin', Faisal suggests, to make the experience even more polished. Additionally you can use the 'User role editor' to customize your roles and/or create new ones.
Sidebar login: https://wordpress.org/plugins/sidebar-login/
Login redirect:

TML plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/
User role editor: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/
Its Very Simple Just Search for Login box in Plugin > add New and Install the plugin.
after put the code where you want to show the login box.
you will find the code in plugin setting.
One of the best ways to quickly mod any theme is to get membership plugin or users add-on plugin. They usually have the basic stuff like login register customisation and my accaunt page.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/users-ultra/ but in your case maybe it will be an overkill.
you can also modify your plugin file name form-login.php in wp-conttent/plugin/templates
Similar to Theme My Login, ProfilePress is another great option. They even have an article on creating a custom login page. And it's a completely free plugin available in the WordPress plugin repo.
Since wordpress is an blogging framework we can use it for blogging purpose efficiently.. For building custom sites with javascript functionalities you have to edit index.php and header.php under your theme and then add your custom code.
To be short wordpress does not provide any end user login for site by default, only some of the paid theme supports that
I have a website built with Wordpress, where users can sign in and post articles in their dedicated pages. They can create new articles compiling a form into the website. The article will be visible in their own page after the admin (me) approved it. Well, I want to skip this step and make users able to publish new articles without admin review. Is there a plugin that can do that? I'm new to Wordpress, so every help will be greatly appreciated :)
Yes- most of the user-submission plugins I've seen have that option. This one, for example: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-submitted-posts/ has an option to publish user submissions immediately.
I needed a wordpress plugin for forums, so i installed Simple-Press plugin, the plugin works perfect with good controls and every thing seems perfect, but one problem i am having is on the Profile page of each user, i am getting this error
http://prntscr.com/7auib (screenshot)
Profile form could not be found [//wp-content/plugins/simple-press/forum/profile/forms/sp-form-global-options.php]
Can any one help out on this?
Don't bother with this plugin. Use bbPress which is the best and most compatible forum plugin for WordPress. It's made by the WordPress team.
Is there any way to integrate phpBB with Wordpress. I already have a wordpress blog and I need to integrate phpBB to it. I want to synchronize the user table of both phpBB and wordpress. User can access both sites by logging into anyone of the sites. Can anyone help me on this...
You can integrate/synchronize the user tables. There's even a plugin for that, see WP phpBB Bridge.
As an aside: I agree that as a standalone forum, phpBB is by far the best opensource/free solution. For WP, there's also the excellent simple:press forum. Using that instead of phpBB is definitely more future-proof, less maintenance requiring once setup and easier to optically integrate into the site. It might look pretty ugly at first, but its css is very flexible and with a bit of tinkering, you can integrate it very well.
EDIT
It having just received an upvote, I revisited this answer. And it being 2 years old, I want to add that given recent decisions of the dev team, I feel less inclined to recommend simple:press over going the extra mile and integrating phpBB...
I think BBPress Forum is best idea to integrate with wordpress. I recently integrate the BBPress Forum with one my wordpress blog. You can get guide for adding BBPress Forum from here http://www.bloggingalerts.com/2011/11/how-to-integrate-forum-with-wordpress.html
WP-United provides modules for both single sign-on and template integration. It does both of these automatically.
Ok, follow these steps exactly, this took me days to work out.
Install wordpress and phpbb as normal.
Make sure you are logged out of wordpress (otherwise you will get a gap at the top of your phpbb header, where the wordpress admin bar would go).
Now go to your wordpress blog page, (when you are logged out of wordpress admin) and right click, go to view source.
Copy the source from the top of the page until you see a div like page content etc (will vary on your theme), remember we just want the header.
Now paste that right at the top of your your overall_header.php in your phpbb template.
Now go to your phpbb admin, and go to styles, then templates, click refresh on your current template, so that the overall_header.php will be re-cached with the changes we have made.
You can do the footer in the same way, copy the footer html from the wordpress page that you want to use, and add it to overall_footer.php.
You can ever get the same styles by linking your css file from your blog to phpbb.
You should now be able to link to your phpbb and it will have a wordpress header.
i have used wp-phpbb-bridge with these steps:
1) after installation of the plugin, activate it;
2) set the correct paths of phpbb directory in the plugin's settings.
3) go to Widgets and put the Phpbb Bridge Users (or which one) you need into the sidebar.
then the users(login or other data) will be automatically synchronized.
this method worked for me.
I have managed to setup a blog on localhost quickly using wordpress. But what is ivolved in setting up a commercial website that is not a blog?
Also, should learning to use wordpress be more diffcult than learning Asp.Net or php? I can use these languages to create a website more quickly than using wordpress it seems. I'm guessing it should be possible to create a basic php website and then somehow hook it up to the admin functionality of wordpress to publish content and update it?
Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
A few thoughts on this.
First, Wordpress is based on PHP. So if you know your way around in PHP you are able to change anything within wordpress, you can build customized plugins, templates, etc.
However, using Wordpress has nothing to do with the programming languages you know. The fact that you are struggling with it is probably more because you don't understand yet what the features of Wordpress are or what you can use them for.
You can easily use Wordpress to create a simple non-blog website by setting up pages instead of posts. So you would be using Wordpress not as a blog engine but more as what's usually called a content management system CMS (not that using it as a blog engine wouldn't make Wordpress a CMS, but I'm talking about the general usage of those wordings).
A simple Google search might help you find more information about how to accomplish it in your specific case.
Hope this helps!
You need experience with PHP, HTML and CSS to configure WordPress to run like a non-blog website. Is it easier? Maybe, you get what you want but you won't understand what is going on.
If you are creating a static web page, say like a company's web site with little to none dynamic content, use pages (not posts) and create a static front page.
If you wish to use WordPress like a generic CMS, you can either use the Pods plugin or the newly introduced custom post types and taxonomies (new in Wordpress 3.0). You still need knowledge of PHP/MySQL to configure the Wordpress Loop (which is used to display blog posts and other dynamic content) and Wordpress Theme tags (to display name of the current logged in user).
Some plugins help with customizing the site for a non-blog look. Theme My Login and Theme my Profile blends the log-in page and profile page with your theme. However, if you need to customize the appearance, or add new logic, you pretty much need programming.
In short, you would need knowledge of PHP and MySQL; CSS too, if possible. Get your hand dirty building some sites, then what Wordpress offer and does for you with its API will be more relevant.
