More Profile Builder pain

[pennymachines]

i see that the integration plugin has been disabled so i cannot test anymore.

That is strange. It is still network activated - I just ran another test.
This time...

I registered a new account.
Then I activated via email link.
Then I tried to login to Forum. Fail.
Then I login to WP. Success.
Then I logout and re-login. 'Wrong Username or Password'.

Just an update to say I eventually gave up with Profile Builder and switched back to Simple Wordpress Membership for the frontend membership solution. It's free and works fine with W3all.

It has a few weaknesses which I was able to get around. On WP multisites, it assigns new members to the Subscriber role (regardless of your settings).

To overcome the biggest issue - preventing Spam members from creating (inactive) accounts - I force users to validate their emails (via a form) which sends them a link to a hidden registration form.
