I have tried two different ways to set up free memberships on my site at http://theweekendchef.com. First I set a Free Membership in the control panel, members could sign up but they never 'completed' the registration process and could not access the protected areas until the I edited the account. Then I set up a paid account with zero cost, same issue. They register but I still have to finalize the registration. How do I create a free account so that I do not have to monitor sign up every couple of hours?
That sounds right - setting price of 0, should give free access. Check your advanced settings - Manually Approve New Members David
I checked the Advanced setting and it was unchecked. SO that was not the problem. Any other suggestions?
ALso, any way to get an email when an account is pending? I don't get any emails currently until payment has been 'made'. Thanks
