Last week, I got an email from a friend in the North Texas PC Users Group that she was not able to register as a user on my blog. Sure enough, when I checked my user settings, I discovered that I had mis-configured one of the settings for the SABRE anti-bot-registration plugin, and it was just not letting anybody register. It took me several tries to get it fixed, but now it seems to be working correctly. So, if you previously tried to register on the blog, but got back an error, please try again.
…And all this time, I just thought nobody was interested in commenting on the blog. I suppose that I haven’t conclusively verified that one way or the other yet, but now that the registration appears to be working, I guess I’ll find out. If you still have difficulty registering, please email me at celticfiddler@gmail.com, and let me know.
Oh, and thank you, Diane, for letting me know about the problem, and having the patience and persistence to help me get it fixed!
P.S. There still appears to be some problems with the registration, but at least users can successfully register. One of the problems is that the user gets a message that the “automatically generated” password is in use, even though the password was not auto-generated. Another problem is that when the user logs in, he or she is presented with a scaled-down version of the WP Dashboard, and not the front page of the blog. In order to get to a place where you can enter a comment, you have to click on the blog title next to the WP logo at the top left, which is not particularly obvious.
