    HI! I've been developing a website for people who know little about internet and explorers so i need to make it very user-friendly. I think that going to your email to activate the account and check it again for password is too tedious and can confuse people. So, i want to add a field at the sign up page to set their own password. Something like this plugin http://skullbit.com/wordpress-plugin/register-plus/(for simple wordpress) or this plugin (for wordpress mu) http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/set-password-on-wordpress-mu-blog-creation but free cause i cannot buy it since i'm a minor and i don't have a paypal account; and i don't have the money!.
    Please help! if possible i would also like to change the emailer address from noreply@elrincondelcas.co.cc to elrincondelcas@hotmail.com to stop sending emails to the hotmail spam folder.
    I will really appreciete any replies.I love this forum because its the forum where i get faster and better replies about wordpress.
    Thanks a lot!

    Getting rid of the email handshaking process to set passwords can really open you up for splogs. I'm not sure how the wpmudev premium plugin gets round that.

    Splogs = spam blogs

    I dont want to get rid of the handshaking. I just want a set password-feature instead of the password generator. Its too complicated for users with (almost) none computer experience to remember, save or change the password.

    There's a premium plugin that will do that. Don't know if there's a free one though. Could have sworn that there was but I don't see anything right off.

    i have been hunting for ages for this aswell, and still the only one that has it is the premium site, i am not interested in paying for this, i know it can be done, id code it myself if i knew a bit more about oop, surely this should be a feature or at least an option to allow it, i get splogs regardless

    i loose a lot of users due to this problem because they can log in once but they dont change the password so they forget it because it is a random string of crap,

    it would be so useful if someone had any info about how i might add this / code it or whatever
    thanks

    forgot to add im also using buddypress so the signup thing is a little different i think??

    Hi everyone,

    yeah if you contact to hosting service it works, but if you make very easy to send emails very well make this changes

    I found the way that wordpress send emails to friends, using the function http://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions/wpmu_welcome_notification

    but for this use
    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    wp_mail($user_email, $subject, $message, $message_headers);
    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////7
    in wordpress-mu/wp-includes/wp-functions.php

    so i have this problem when i have to send lists of emails via console linux because this go to spam folders in yahoo, and hotmail, so i create a sistem in php to send this emails.

    Is very easy

    change
    wp_mail($user_email, $subject, $message, $message_headers);
    for

    mail($user_email, $subject, $message, $message_headers);

    that this change your emails sed to inbox
    This works because php not show the original sender in litle words

    so prove it
