I’m the web creator and administrator and I tried to add myself as a new member. I keep getting an error that my username and email don’t match. I have tried all different combinations and I can’t figure it out. I also tried to enter new members and it gave me the same error.
Username and email doesn’t need to match. Can you please share a link to your registration page so I can check?
Hello,
The situation you have encountered Mandoa1 and Craigmurphy may be linked to the fact that the email address inserted in Simple Membership plugin was the same email that was inserted during your installation of WordPress on your domain or folder (the domain or the folder where Simple Membership plugin is also installed).
The same situation seems to be encountered when the username and email were already used to create a user in the WordPress dashboard. Similarly creating a user in the WordPress dashboard after it had been created with Simple Membership does not work.
As a result, if the plan is to have the users in Simple Membership, what you want to do is to enter the users there first (in Simple Membership). They shall automatically be entered in the WordPress dashboard because of it.
What I have found to work if you want to create a user in Simple Membership with the username “admin” is to add an underscore after it so that it becomes: “admin_”. Additionally, you may want to use a different email address to the one present in your WordPress dashboard as may be seen at:
http://YourDomain.com/YourBlogFolder/wp-admin/users.php (if WordPress is installed in a folder)
http://YourDomain.com/wp-admin/users.php (if WordPress is installed at the root)Otherwise, having the exact same username and same email address to the one already present in the general WordPress dashboard area seems to trigger this situation.
