Sign Up as a New User to add a community event

[mpurse]

I am having a bit of a brain fart and can’t think through the process of allowing people to sign up as a new user on our website, so that they can (only) add a community event.
At the moment the http://militaryingermany.com/events/community/add only allows people to sign in if they are already a member/user. How do I direct them to create a username and password in the first place?
I am sure there is a simple answer to this that I already know, I just can’t get to it. I have blocked access to admin panel, which I think is the right thing to do for security. But perhaps this is the block?

Hi mpurse,

I can help you out with this.

WordPress has its own registration system built in, but that can be kinda SPAMY.

If you have Anyone Can Register Setting in WordPress set, then anyone can register by going to this link: (changed to your site)

http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=register

I did a quick search and found different plugins to help secure that process and not get as many spam registrations.

There maybe other plugins both free and premium that enable you to create your own registration process as well.

Does that help?
