I am writing a site on wordpress. There was a need to make the registration of new users. Made through shortcodes [bbp-login] [bbp-register] . There were two questions.

  1. When registering it is not possible to specify a password, and the password also does not come to the mail. How to set this password?
  2. Authorization goes through wp-login i.e. it turns out users are created roughly speaking in the same group as the WordPress admin - is it safe?

Is it possible to do something different?

  • In the admin was able to generate a password for the user. It turns out for each user it is necessary for the administrator to write all the passwords? These users have access to dashbroad WordPress. - votanko
  • Those. [bbp-login] [bbp-register] give not only access to the forum but also to a small part of WordPress itself. - votanko

If I understand correctly, you have installed bbPress. This is not really a site, this is a forum. If you installed bbPress just to establish registration, then this is not worth it. There are tons of great and easier plugins for this. Waiting for an answer...

1. When registering, it is not possible to specify a password, and the password also does not arrive in the mail. How to set this password? - There are a lot of plugins for WordPress, which will help you to expand the desired functionality. I myself have a blog with bbpress and there I installed a good plugin Lockdown WP Admin, there are even settings that block when you try to hack, which you have tried more than once.

2. Authorization goes through wp-login ie it turns out users are created roughly speaking in the same group as the WordPress admin - is it safe? - this is a wordpress, from which no registration takes place, users will be in the group as the admin, and yes, it is safe.

  • You misunderstood me. I made a site and try to make a forum for it. However, bbpres seems to work through the wordpress admin panel. Is there any way to divide it so that bbpress has its own admin panel? - votanko
