Hi Robin,
Many thanks for that information. While I have you can I also pick your brains on a couple of other aspects. My client, a charity, would like to know a little about the people who register BEFORE approving them. Is there a way to incorporate a profile / a bit about you field in the initial registration?
And also, any way of fighting spam registrations?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Stuart
Your client might be a charity, but you are close to the limit of making me one 🙂
bbpress just uses WordPress registration, and there are plenty of worpdress plugins free and paid out there to do this stuff, and plenty of code solutions
eg

‘worpdress registration extra fields’
and
