Members ​

Members are the people of your site: the authors of the posts, and visitors who sign up. A visitor who signs up can write posts from the front end.

Manage members ​

Go to Admin -> Members.

Members

Click Create to add a member, or the edit button of a row to change one. A member has a name, a permalink (the address of the author page, for example /author/smith), an email, a phone, a date of birth, a description, a status and a picture. The name and the picture are shown as the author of a post. To pick the author of a post, see Blog.

Sign in and sign up ​

Visitors sign in at /login and sign up at /register. The pages have no link in the header: add the links to a menu if you want visitors to find them.

Sign in

Sign up

Choose the background pictures of the two pages in Theme options -> Member (see General).

A signed-in member opens the account area at /account/dashboard: a profile, the security settings and the posts of the member (/account/posts), where the member can create and edit posts.
