New user registration process too confusing
-
I have some free courses. I would like to use your login and new user registration forms for when the user attempts to enroll in the course for the first time. However, when the user clicks on the enroll button, he is allowed to register as a new user, then he is taken to the lp-profile page, where there are no courses available for him to take as he has apparently not “paid” for them yet. Only if he goes to the course link again, and again clicks on enroll will he be enrolled in the class.
Many users complained that my course is impossible take for this reason, as the process was too confusing and difficult. I “fixed” it by adding a third party plug-in (profile press) and adding some messages that it will be necessary to click “enroll” again, but it is very awkward. If the user clicks “enroll”, he should just be allowed to create an account, be enrolled automatically, and taken immediately to the course without any additional steps.
I sent out an announcement to hundreds of people who got rats from me, and so many wanted to take the course but couldn’t get it to work. Now I am afraid many will never try again, after I worked so hard on the course for them. It’s so sad that your otherwise good plug-in is so weak in the area of new user registration! This should be made as simple and intuitive as possible.
