 * Hello everyone,
    I currently use your plugin and wanted to know whether it was
   normal that when I log on to my website from the wp-login.php page, registration
   is not moderate. The user directly receive their password and username without
   the administrator only valid registration. I wanted to know if it was a normal
   operation of your plugin and if any time so how can I do to use your plugin with
   moderation since wp-login.php page Thank you in advance for your reply

 * The plugin’s normal operation is not intended to use wp-login.php (although you
   can). So if you use the registration process through wp-login.php, WP will send
   the user their password via email.
 * This ends up being more a case of poor user experience than anything else because
   the user will not be able to log in with that password until they are activated.
   But when they are activated, they will receive a new password.
 * You can avoid this by unchecking the “anyone can register” in the WP settings
   which shuts off wp-login.php registration – it does not affect the operation 
   of the plugin (in fact, that’s the recommended setting).

 * Thank you for your reply. By cons, if I uncheck “anyone can register” I can not
   use the default WP login page.
    Having customized login pages and matriculation
   default WP, I would like to know if there is a trick to use the default pages
   of your WP plugin?

 * As I described, it will still work that way. It’s just that the user will receive
   a password in that initial registration email that WP sends – they won’t be able
   to log in with it, and it will be changed when they are activated.

 * Im new to WordPress. Need help regarding this similar situation.
 * I am using wp-members. I would like the homepage to be a page like the wp-login.
   php
    from which users cannot escape, unless they login. I tried force login extension,
   it works well, but only with the original wp-login.php So if i disable ‘Any one
   can register’, obviously the register link from wp-login.php is gone.
 * How can I make the wp-members login page show up on a separate screen, without
   the index.php (my forum) in the background. I would like to recreate wp-login.
   php to be used with wp-members, so it forced the login, or allows registration.
 * Please help!
